| The House of the Devil (2009) | "
Written, directed, and edited by Ti West, this movie is an old-school tension builder, slowly ratcheting up the anxieties of the audience who, of course, is fully aware that something bad is going to happen." — IGN Movies Posted Oct 26, 2009 |

The filmmakers do not feel the need to fill in every single blank for viewers by the time the credits roll. Just as in reality, these characters' problems are not going to be solved with the wave of a magic wand; there are no short cuts to happiness." — IGN Movies Posted Jun 22, 2007 |
