Trivia
Like several horror films of the 1970s, 80s, and early 90s, one of the major themes of this film is the mental trauma of the Vietnam War that is re-lived and dreamt of by its protagonist. This can largely be attributed to the recognition of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in 1980 by the American Psychiatric Association and an increased popular understanding throughout those decades of PTSD symptoms, e.g. nightmares, flashbacks, etc., as well as http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0207645/ an increasing number of Vietnam veterans who committed suicide as a result of their wartime experiences. Thus in many ways, films like House reflect a change in national consciousness as war ceased being depicted as a glorious event and began to be seen as a harrowing and traumatic e xperience. See more
Goofs
When Roger escorts the cops to the front door, he says 'My gun' and we see the cupboard door under the stairs is ajar. But when he closes the front door behind the cops the next shot shows the cupboard now closed. See more
