As the Night Progresses however, Samantha comes to realize that Mr Ulman and his no less creepy wife(Mary Woronov) may very well have a sinister plan for her…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe House Of The Devil may very well divide audiences and fans, as itu0026#39;s a slow burning film, which takes its time to get to its payoff.
