The House of the Devil (2009) is a retro-styled horror film written, directed, and edited by Ti West. The movie stars Jocelin Donahue as Samantha, a broke college student who takes a mysterious babysitting job in an isolated house to earn quick cash. Tom Noonan and Mary Woronov play the eerie Ulman couple who hire her, while Greta Gerwig appears as Samantha‚Äö√Ñ√Â
¥ s best friend. The film pays homage to 1980s horror cinema, using vintage aesthetics, slow-building tension, and practical effects.

Set in the 1980s, the story follows Samantha as she accepts a last-minute babysitting job on the night of a full lunar eclipse. When she arrives at the remote Victorian mansion, she discovers there is no child to watch—only the elderly mother of the homeowner, who remains unseen upstairs. As the night progresses, strange occurrences and mounting dread hint that Samantha has been lured into a satanic ritual. The film builds toward a shocking and violent climax.

The House of the Devil received critical acclaim for its atmosphere, suspenseful pacing, and faithful recreation of classic horror tropes. It gained a strong cult following and is considered one of the standout indie horror films of the 2000s.
