The House of the Devil

en silhuett av en kvinne med en kniv som går i korridoren

A one-time special screening of Ti West’s suspenseful retro horror film from 2009, starring Jocelin Donahue and Greta Gerwig, with an introduction from student media PRESSET.

During the 1980s, over 70% of American adults believed in the existence of abusive Satanic Cults.

This film is based on true and unexplained events.

Desperate for quick cash, college sophomore Samantha Hughes (a breakout performance by Jocelin Donahue) takes a babysitting job in the isolated mansion of the creepy Ulman family. Ignoring the warnings from her best friend, Samantha (Greta Gerwig, FRANCES HA, BARBIE) 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 (MANHUNTER), Mary Woronov (THE DEVIL’S REJECTS) and Dee Wallace (THE HILLS HAVE EYES) — co-star in the acclaimed demonic thriller that fans and critics hail as an unnerving return to late ‘70s/early 80s classic horror.



Ti West (b. 1980) is an American horror film director and screenwriter praised for his ability to combine artistic tension-building with attention to detail. Besides THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, he is known for such films as THE ROOST, THE INKEEPERS, THE SACRAMENT, and the X trilogy.
