A Total Eclipse Of Your Senses

I thought the previous poster for House of the Devil was the best poster of the year (if you haven't seen it, check it out) but I think this new version tops it. Whoever designed these retro-styled one-sheets ought to get some kind of medal or something because man, they sure are cool.

The Year's Best Poster

Ti West's '80s-set shocker House of the Devil (which makes its video on demand debut on October 1st and plays in limited theaters on October 30th) has gotten a lot of advance raves and while I'm taking those early reviews with a grain of salt (West's 2005 killer bat film The Roost also earned accolades while it was on the festival circuit but I found it to be unwatchable), I have to say what a huge fan I am of its poster - a pitch-perfect throwback to the poster art of the early '80s. If House of the Devil shows the same uncanny fidelity to '80s horror as its poster does, it's going to be a party and a half.
