See I love
House of the Devil. I thought it captured exactly what is good about 70's/80's horror. It's a slow-burner yes, but that's to its credit as it's a sophisticated and beautifully made horror film. I was disappointed that with
The Innkeepers he tried to make essentially the same film as a tedious slacker comedy and with stock scares instead of tension.
And I really didn't like
American Mary one bit. And like you with HOTD, I'm bemused at the praise lavished upon it. It grated on me something chronic.
