The film's nostalgic design is subtle enough not to dampen the seriously sinister atmospherics.

In keeping with his models, West is concerned with not suspense exactly but the ritual withholding and ultimate lavishing of bloody chaos.
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

West, a rising young director of minor cult pleasures, comes clean here about his love for all things Bava (Mario) and Carpenter (John).
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

There's a payoff in The House of the Devil, if you have the patience. Some of the scenes seem draggy, but the characters are complex, and their motivations are explained.
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle

Even the familiar tropes of The House of the Devil are familiar in the right way, like an old, bloodstained sweater.
