"Pair with:House Of The Devil This is a 2009 throwback to those horror movies that focused on the satanic panic of the 80s. And between the shaky 16mm film, music playing over the opening credits scene, and lots and lots of feathered hair, it’s really effective. House of the Devil is about a woman who takes a babysitting gig for (wait for it) devil worshippers, and creates a tense atmosphere where the terror builds like a slow burn. To replicate this feeling, I recommend ordering the tonkatsu kare from carryout-only spot Bokuchan. The sweet curry has a light spice with a gentle heat that creeps up on you. Also, the rich sauce is very comforting, which you’re going to need by the end of the film. Watch the trailer." - adrian kane
