House of the Devil

It's been a while since we've been treated to an edition of Joe Lynch's Body Count on G4's "Attack of the Show", but he's back and ready to dish his latest picks from the gory side of the street.

There's a wide range of excellent films hitting home video this week from the exceptionally fun time to be had in Zombieland to the super creepy (and authentic feeling) The House of the Devil to two werewolf-themed entries: The Wolf Man (Special Edition, Universal Legacy Series) and the complete She-Wolf of London series.

It seems like lately the more retro something is, the cooler it is. Maybe that's because things are really rough nowadays and hearkening back to what we perceive to be a simpler time brings us a few much needed smiles. Or maybe it's that at the very least movie posters were so much cooler back in the day before the era of floating heads.

Barely 29 years old, editor/writer/director Ti West has accomplished what many older directors can only dream about - having four feature films under his belt. And more to come. His most recent credit is the period piece 1980s horror flick The House of the Devil, and he has been receiving the sort of accolades that those more seasoned directors can also only salivate over.

Avant garde composer Jeff Grace has credits ranging from The Lord of the Rings trilogy to Gangs of New York to Cronenberg's Spider, and most recently he has written two new scores for Ti West's spooky The House of the Devil and Graham Reznick's original thriller I Can See You.

Ah, Twitter. You've changed just about everything, haven't you? You and your little bird. I never thought I'd ever partake in something known as "tweeting", but yes, I too am addicted!
