Guys guys, you are ALL wrong about the 70s/80s thing. There WAS big hair, neon colours, colourful clothes etc etc in the 70s as well as throughout the 80s.There was also this look here going on too.There were a variety of different fashions going on, not just the one or the other, loud stuff as well as the casual understated look.
This filming style is also quite accurate for the 70s/early 80s style.Crazy hair/ clothes and colourful geometric stuff were just as much a part of the 70s as the 80s.
This movie was AWESOME! I watched it the other night thinking it was an actual movie from the 80s horror movie that I had somehow missed from my childhood. Excellent job, I hope they make a sequel or more like it. The 80s were fun times!
this movie made me so happy brought me back to my early childhood, and the ending if you like rosemary's baby worked perfect. It was a nice taught simple movie and Ti west and the crews attention to subtle detail and camera work was seamless just watch "Wolfen" "the Sentinel" and many others worked great.
They did a wonderful job creating the early 80's vibe of horror movies. Was a time when movies percolated and built, and even if the end wasn't climactic, you still felt horrified just by the scenario. People today are spoiled by movies, they want instant gratification and have short attention spans - get bored too easily and need the next new flashy thing.
Also, anyone catch the scene where she ordered pizza and the guy asked if she wanted extra anchovies? lol, had to have been a joke about that Patrick Dempsey flick Loverboy.
This movie nailed the early 80s (and 70s) horror film look which carried the movie. I don't thin it's nostalgia when I say that the 18mm film and techniques they used in the 80s made for better horror films. I seriously had to check the year twice to make sure I was actually watching a recent film, even though I recognized certain actors. This girl is pretty cute too, at least she was dancing to this song. ;)
@rafaelLEE93 Yeah when you think about it, the actual 80s as everyone knows them, with the big hair, bright colored clothes, hair bands, doc martens boots, was actually a pretty short decade culturally. The '80s seemed to gain its own identity from the '70s sometime in the middle of the decade, peaked in '87, and ended rather abruptly after '89.
@Daemonocracy Nah! You're completely wrong about that. All the styles you mentioned were actually quite prevailant since the mid 70s, and carried on with different variations throughout the 80s.
And it definately did NOT end abruptly after '89. More like it fizzled out slowly between 1992-1994. I'm being anal, I know, but you were just SO off the mark. ;D
three things, first, wicked song, second, I miss the eighties like crazy and would trade all the 'twitters' in the world to have them back and third, does her dance remind anyone else of the Joker's in the original Batman movie-ish?
People seem to think that the 80s was all neon and big hair and heaven forbid, mullets. But watching the films throughout that era, what people seem to think is 1980-1989, is actually 1985-1992. People forget that the 70s spilled into the 80s (though it does seem that the electronic music boom hit about 1980)
Yes, it's like when you see old shows like 'Night Gallery' with folks wearing the ugliest polyester suits youi can imagine. But most people did not dress like this. Most folks in the 80s didn't walk around with mullets and such, but they did wear high rise jeans and the clothes the actors wore in this movie.
Is it really THAT important what time era this movie took place in? Not everyone in the 80's wore neon colors and had wild hair. This movie did a lot better at recreating the old style better than a lot of other films.
Trust me it's the 1980's. I was there but she is very East Coast. I just watched the Fixx Video here on You Tube and she kind of mimiced the dance there. Check it out see what you think. Was there 911 in the 1980's?

You know something... this sene is a classic. Great song cute as hell with a great ass girl dancing to one of the best songs of the 1980's. I loved the movie too, but I rented it the second time just to watch this scene.
personally i think this takes place in 1984, because when sam says in the pizzaria "your not the one with *84* dollars in her bank account" and honestly it think Ti put a hint in the movie because they dont really say what time this is. And @texformer early in a new decade people dress from the last decade because they just got out of it. And until the middle of the decade that when it starts to becom its own. just havin a thought.
not sure what the guy saying this isnt 80's . Its has a 80s feel to it for me... I digged this movie. I mean, yeah it does have and 70'ish camrea feel to it, but for some reason I feel, like its 1980 something or other. thanks for this post.
I'm old enough to remember when this song was on the radio and to be honest I never liked it. Watching this movie last night with the volume really loud totally changed my mind. Great song, and even better scene.
One of my fave scenes in one of the best horror flicks to come out in the past 5 years. I love how this utterly clueless girl is stupid enough to listen to her Walkman in a spooky house, making it for sure that she won't be able to hear any creepy people coming up behindg her. A new low (high?) in horror film protagonists!
Btw, I rented this film from Netflix and will end up buying it used somewhere online coz I can't stop watching it. GREAT details.
I knew I would find this scene here, I just randomly rented this movie and watched this scene over and over and I was like I hope someone posted it on youtube and sure enough here it is
I love this scene and I rank this movie up there with great classics like Dazed And Confused,A Stranger In The House and Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Thanks for posting this,you rock!
@mxbites As somebody who lived the 80s, I can say the style of this movie was not 80s at all. It was 60s-70s. I don't know why the director chose the look from the 60s-70s, then used 80s music. Plus, the two 80s songs he used were far apart in years. The Break Up song - 1981. One Thing Leads To Another - 1984 or 85. By that time people were dressing all flashy with neon colors. No girl was wearing flannel shirts tucked into jeans. Weird Science , Sixteen Candles, Ruthless People. That was 80s :)
@texformer I completely agree with you... I think this is an excellent film. The director "Ti West chose" to use 70's style camera work and give the film an early 80s setting with a more quiet down feel. I was born in the mid 80s and I love the decade, and NEON colors is almost a must for girls in the 80s but for this film I can understant what he was trying to do.
yeah i was just wonder what the name of this movie was. i saw it on t.v but i didnt get to see the name of it was. just post it on here if you know or have any guesses thanx :)
@lostandleft4dead uhm....it's called House of the Devil. that's why the post is titled "Dancing at the House of the Devil". and I don't think it's been on TV yet other than video on demand.
nobody cares about what time period this is supposed to take place in. and if you do, youre not watching the movie right. :/
