Top Posters of 2009: #9 The House of the Devil

Date:

9. THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL

 

Distributor: Magnet Releasing
Tagline: TALK ON THE PHONE. FINISH YOUR HOMEWORK. WATCH TV. DIE

Comments: Featured on our 2nd Art of the Movie Poster column (read here), The House of the Devil excels on what Inglourious Basterds’ one-sheet lacked: Finesse. This is the balance I was hoping for with those posters, not too “aged” but just enough to suggest the film’s throwback to a specific period; in this case 70’s/80’s horror films. The composition is beautiful, and genuinely creepy, but it’s really the attention to detail that does it for me. This is the kind of quality sorely lacking in posters, and funny (or maybe not) that it comes from a low-budget indie film.
