The House of the Devil (2009)

dir: Ti West

College student Samantha Hughes takes on a babysitting job in a remote mansion in order to make the down payment on a one-bedroom apartment she has had her eye on. The pay is good, but after Samantha is taken to the house by her friend, Megan, she realizes that something isn't quite right. While Megan is driving home from dropping off Samantha, she is shot and killed. The old couple who live in the house, Mr. and Mrs. Ulman, confess that they, in fact, do not have any children, and it isn't long before Samantha realizes that she is trapped.http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/33998/three-new-house-devil-posters She finds photos in a closet that hint that the couple murdered the family that really lived there, as the car driven by the Ulmans is pictured in those photos. She orders a pizza (which, unknown to her, is spiked with drugs) which causes her to pass out after eating some of it. As a lunar eclipse darkens the night sky, her employers carry out a horrific ritual with Samantha at the center. She escapes part of the way through the ritual, but horrific images begin appearing in her mind. When she is chased out of the house by Mr. Ulman, he states that it is too late to reverse it. She threatens to kill him with the gun that Megan was murdered with, and he agrees to die, for he is just a messenger. Instead of shooting him, she shoots herself in the head. The film cuts to her in a hospital bed. A nurse walks in and tells the unconscious Samantha that she will be okay. The nurse then pats Samantha belly and tells Samantha that her baby will be okay as well.http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/33986/new-clip-the-house-devil

Interesting take on the horror genre. I actually really liked the terse, uneventful buildup, but the payoff was less than satisfactory.

An old fashion thriller that has a restraint and some finesse in craft. For 75 minutes you won't be delivered anything else than cruising around with goosebumps tracks and faux jumper moments, for 15 you'll get the most mediocre turn of events possible. So easily forgettable that I don't remember much 5 minutes after.
