Magnet Moves into Ti West’s ‘House of the Devil’

Horror helmer Ti West has finally bedded a distribution deal from none other than Magnet Releasing. Currently in post prod with Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever, West had the opportunity to present The House of the Devil in Tribeca this year.

She’s desperate for money and the pay is good, but something feels wrong, and Samantha quickly realizes that the girls are trapped. As a lunar eclipse darkens the night sky, she realizes that her employers are not nice people.

Magnet will release the horror pic via VOD in September to be followed by an opening in the month of Halloween (also the same month they might release Nicolas Winding Rehn‘s excellent Bronson. Spout Blog’s Karina Longworth had a sit down with West which you can read here.
