Ti West's "THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL" Gets The Deluxe Edition It Deserves From Second Sight!
If one were to make a list of the modern Masters of Horror, we are pretty sure Ti West would be on it. Moving aside his astounding "Maxxxine Trilogy,” West has given us a wide-array of sub-genres from the audaciously silly “Cabin Fever 2” to something more somber like “The Sacrament.” His range isn’t limited to horror, as the filmmaker has worked in other genres like Action and Westerns, but we feel safe in saying that horror is where West’s heart is and the feature that put him on the horror map, “The House of the Devil” is getting the LE treatment from the unstopabble Second Sight Films.
Similar to other LE releases, this edition is for those who aren’t just content with the film, but crave insight and exploration of the themes and subtext of the film and it’s filmmaker. Of note is an essay penned by none other than Ariel Powers-Schaub, friend of MD alongside acclaimed horror journalist Julieann Stipidis and more. Check out the press release for additional details, and you can pre-order you copy today via Second Sight’s webstore!
From The Press Release
Ti West – one of the most prominent horror filmmakers of his generation – continues to bring the fear with his wickedly entertaining horrors that include X, Pearl, MaXXXine, The Sacrament and now his lauded 2009, Satanic scare fest – The House of the Devil is the latest cult horror to get a brand-new Second Sight Films Limited Edition makeover this April.
Described by BFI.com as ‘a perfectly realised throwback to the terror titles of yesteryear, it also stands proudly as one of the finest, most authentic horror films to appear in recent memory’, the film stars a stellar cast including Jocelin Donahue, Mary Woronov, Greta Gerwig along with genre favourites AJ Bowen and Tom Noonan and now gets its highly anticipated Limited and Standard Edition Blu-ray release on 28 April 2025.
1983, USA, we meet skint college student Samantha Hughes (Donahue), who, desperate for money, spots an ad for a mysterious babysitting job and convinces her best friend (Gerwig) to drive her to the remote house. Unbeknownst to her the job coincides with a full lunar eclipse and on arrival it dawns on her that this is no ordinary childminding gig, there’s way more to her new employer than meets the eye.
Slowly as the tension builds it becomes apparent that true terror awaits. As the real reason she’s been hired is revealed, Samantha is confronted with unimaginable horror beyond her darkest nightmares and it could cost her everything.
The Limited Edition is presented in a stunning rigid slipcase with new artwork by Nick Charge, along with a brilliantly informative 70-page book with brand new essays. Both formats come complete with a slew of new interviews, new audio commentaries and a Making Of featurette. Please see full list below.
