Ti West’s The House of the Devil is the latest cult horror classic to receive the deluxe treatment from Second Sight Films, with a Limited Edition Blu-ray release set for 28th April 2025. The revered 2009 slow-burn chiller, praised for its meticulous recreation of 1980s horror aesthetics, will also be available in a Standard Edition Blu-ray for fans looking to revisit one of the filmmaker’s most unsettling works.
West, now one of the most respected voices in horror thanks to X, Pearl, and MaXXXine, made a significant impact with The House of the Devil. Hailed by BFI.com as “one of the finest, most authentic horror films to appear in recent memory,” the film expertly channels the dread-inducing atmosphere of the satanic panic era.
Set in 1983, the story follows Samantha Hughes (Jocelin Donahue), a struggling college student in desperate need of cash. When she responds to an ad for a babysitting job, her best friend (Greta Gerwig) drives her to a remote mansion, where she meets the unsettling Mr. Ulman (Tom Noonan) and his wife (Mary Woronov). Soon, Samantha realises that she hasn’t been hired to watch a child at all—and with a full lunar eclipse looming, something sinister is brewing within the house. As the night unfolds, she finds herself trapped in a horrifying ritual that will test her sanity and survival instincts.
The film’s Limited Edition release comes housed in a rigid slipcase featuring new artwork by Nick Charge and includes a 70-page book packed with brand-new essays. Fans can also expect fresh audio commentaries, new cast and crew interviews, and an in-depth Making Of featurette, ensuring this is the definitive release of West’s satanic horror.
With its slow-building tension, eerie atmosphere, and shocking climax, The House of the Devil has only grown in stature since its release, making this new edition an essential addition for collectors.
