Sobre este filme

From writer/director Ti West comes perhaps the most intense shocker of the year: Desperate for quick cash, college sophomore Samantha Hughes takes a babysitting job in the isolated mansion of the creepy Ulman family. Ignoring the warnings from her best friend Samantha, she has no idea that a nightmare of unspeakable fear and torment awaits her within these walls. At midnight, in the shadow of a full lunar eclipse, the ultimate evil will be unleashed. Cult icons Tom Noonan, Mary Woronov, and Dee Wallace co-star in the acclaimed demonic thriller that fans and critics hail as an unnerving return to late 70s/early 80s classic horror.

The movie was serviceable at best. The bad guys were dumb as dirt. The build up took too long and the pay off was very dull. I thought this was going to be some kind of "must see" from reviews but now I see why I've never heard of it. It is not scary at all. I could watch this alone in a old murder house on cursed ground in the middle of the woods at midnight with the wind howling during a full moon with a graveyard next to the windows which have no curtains by candlelight and still fall asleep.

ROTTEN TOMATOES LOST THEIR ABILITY TO RATE A MOVIE. 2 stars for 20 minutes of the movie. I CAN'T GIVE MORE

Despite the slow second Act, it is overall intriguing. Fantastic cinematography and wardrobe that pulls you into the decade.
