    Rest in peace Tom Noonan. Legitimately one of my favourite actors - I always smiled whenever he turned up randomly in stuff. Loved him in RoboCop 2, he made that film way more entertaining than it had any right to be. Also fantastic in Manhunter, Last Action Hero, The X-Files, The House of the Devil

    Last night’s spooky movie was The House of the Devil. Can’t recommend this movie enough, especially if you’re old enough to have grown up with the “made for tv” horror movie craze. It’s wonderful!!

    #HorrorWatch In the beginning of The House of The Devil, the main character is told by an older woman that she always listens to her gut. And then the rest of the movie she ignores her gut. Listen to your gut. Don't second guess yourself. Listen to your gut. Enough people try to gaslight you.

    R.I.P. to film/theater legend Tom Noonan! Interviewed him in 2009 for THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL; wish we had more time to talk Michael Mann, Jim Jarmusch, or his directorial debut WHAT HAPPENED WAS... (Memorably, he held back no disdain for Michael Cimino nearly killing him on the HEAVEN'S GATE set.)

    Ti West is one of my favorite directors from the newer generation. His recent stuff has been great, but I think THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL is still my favorite of his. Despite being set in the 80s, it feels like a 70s slow burn horror movie.

    The House of the Devil by Georges Méliès was released in 1896, is widely considered the first horror film, and features Mephistopheles/The Devil, so I feel like it can confidently snatch the title of “first faith-based horror film.” Also, it’s four minutes long. youtu.be/qt0w2qP6REg?...

    I think Apostasy is the better of the two films, but I was really taken by Requiem's visuals. Despite being made in 2006, its stellar production design coupled with shooting on 16mm film has it looking right out of the 70s. Reminds me of how The House of the Devil nailed the 80s so authentically.

    Absolutely nailing the early 80s horror vibe almost masks the fact that very little happens for the majority of the film, and that which does is fairly predictable. Fun to watch but it’s a short stretched out 90-odd minutes. The House Of The Devil (Ti West, 2009)
