THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL - Ti West

  Status: On DVD, and Netflix Instant
   
 Starring: Jocelin Donahue
               Tom Noonan
               Mary Woronov
               Greta Gerwig


           Samantha and her college friend Megan take a babysitting job from hell. Aren't they all?  What makes this babysitting excursion worse than the standard snot nosed kids that you want to knock out with Nyquil, Jim Beam, and a smack to the mouth are blood thirsty parents and a question of whether there even is a brat at all.  The film is set and shot in 1980's style, a time before the mass exodus of mexican nannies but soon after 1979's When A Stranger Calls.


Notes:  Heavily reviewed, the film seems to divide audiences between retro roller coaster and stab in the dark, except into a pile of shit.
