I was considering Ti West's Sacrament as my film for today, but after reading a bit about it, I decided to go with the film that put him on the map.  House of the Devil is a 70s style horror film that gets everything right.  The performances are spot on, the cinematography is wonderfully retro, and the plot is straight-forward and brutal.  If you haven't seen the film and you have any interest in horror, I recommend moving it to the top of your to-watch list.  It certainly won't appeal to everyone as the nostalgia for the films it emmulates is so central to appreciating the film, but it is a fun horror ride regardless.
