DALLAS, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- HDNet Movies presents a special Sneak Preview

Aaron Hillis of the Village Voice says it "artfully evokes Rosemary's Baby,
early Brian De Palma, and the Euro-sleaze of yore ... it's creepy as hell."
Andrew O'Hehier of Salon.com says its "built on atmosphere and suspense, West
raises the possibility of opening up horror to general audiences again."

THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL is a satanic thriller set in the 1980s starring Jocelin
Donahue (JT Petty's forthcoming THE BURROWERS), indie ingenue Greta Gerwig
(HANNAH TAKES THE STAIRS, BAGHEAD), Tom Noonan (SNOW ANGELS, MANHUNTER), Mary
Woronov (EATING RAOUL, THE DEVIL'S REJECTS), AJ Bowen (THE SIGNAL) and Dee
Wallace (E.T., Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN).

Sam (Donahue) is a pretty college sophomore, so desperate to earn some cash
for a deposit on an apartment that she accepts a babysitting job even after
she finds out there is no baby. Mr. and Mrs. Ulman (cult actors Noonan and
Woronov) are the older couple who lure Sam out to their creaky Victorian
mansion deep in the woods, just in time for a total lunar eclipse. Megan
(Gerwig) is Sam's best friend, who gives her a ride out to the house, and
reluctantly leaves her there despite suspecting that something is amiss.
Victor (Bowen) at first seems like just a creepy guy lurking around the house,
but quickly makes it clear that Sam will end this night in a bloody fight for
her life.
