Don't Go in the House is a 1980 horror film. It was released in France under the name Pyromaniac.After his father died (or merely left) young Donald "Donny" Kohler became the subject of much abuse at the hands of his mother, an apparent religious fanatic. She would verbally abuse the boy, and repeatedly burn him when she believed he was being bad, or even just thinking about mischief. She convinced herself and Donny that she was "burning the evil out of him" and that fire was the ultimate cleanser, causing Donny to grow up with both a deep fascination with and fear of fire.As the years pass, Donny and his mother live in a shaky state of co-dependence in their slowly rotting New Jersey home, supported by Donny's job at a garbage incinerator. Due to his upbringing, Donny is a meek, awkward, and submissive shut-in. The closest thing he has to a friend is a co-worker named Bobby Tuttle, who continually tries to get Donny to be more outgoing, only to be brushed off at every turn.One cold winter day Donny witnesses the death of a co-worker named Ben when he is engulfed in flames when a heated aerosol can explodes. Donny stands by idly instead of helping the burning man. Donny is told off by his boss for his inaction, brushes off another request for a night out with Bobby, (in an attempt to cheer him up), returns home, and discovers his ailing mother has died.At first shocked and saddened by his mother's death, Donny soon realizes that with her gone he can now do what he wants. He finds himself receiving messages from disembodied voices, who tell him that with his mother dead, he is now "the keeper of the flame" and the one who can use it to punish "evil". At the insistence of his new "friends", Donny takes some time off from work, steel-plates one his rooms, and purchases a fire retardant suit and a flamethrower. Once he is done with the preparations, Donny uses what little charm and social skills he possesses to get a florist named Kathy Jordan into his house where he burns her to death in the steel room, keeping her charred corpse as a "guest" in his home.His mental state deteriorates. Donny murders more women, the voices growing more insistent, and he begins suffering hallucinations of his overbearing mother. As Donny spirals, local priest Father Gerritty, who Donny confides in one day, grows worried, as does Bobby, who continually tries to get in touch with his friend.Quentin Tarantino has apparently stated this is one of his favorite films, and one that really disturbed him when he first saw it.Not for the pyrophobic. | |

Child by Rape | |
| Don't Go in the House / int_bb7ae292 | comment |
Child by Rape: Donny, possibly. He tells Father Gerritty his mother told him he "was born of an evil deed" but considering how unbalanced she appeared to be, it was possibly just a plain old Sex Is Evil mentality. | |

No Social Skills: Donny struggles when interacting with other people and notably fumbles when trying to lure a girl to his house after trying to help her carry her groceries; even after getting told no, he keeps asking her and gets in her way. | |

Big "NO!": Donny lets one out when Farrah's attempt at pulling him onto the dance floor causes him to flashback to his mother yanking his arms into an open flame. | |

Hope Spot | |
| Don't Go in the House / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: Donny, after visiting Father Gerrity, puts in an effort to change and actually takes the initiative to call Bobby and see about going out somewhere. It seems to be working until Donny’s date unwittingly pulls his arms over a candle, triggering a flashback to his mother’s abuse of him and a subsequent freakout, leading to the date getting said candle to the face leaving her hair on fire, and Bobby getting beaten up by her vengeful brother. | |

| Don't Go in the House / int_c5249b29 | comment |
Nice Guy: Although implied to be an adulterer, Bobby still fits, given that he constantly tries to reach out and be a friend to Donny, whom he feels bad for. He even tries setting up a date for Donny, and when that goes disastrously, goes to Donny's house first to try and reason with him instead of immediately going to the cops. | |

Bystander Syndrome | |
| Don't Go in the House / int_c83f40d8 | comment |
Bystander Syndrome: In the beginning of the film, Donny meekly watches a co-worker get horribly burned instead of intervening. He's justifiably called out for it by his boss afterwards. Justified, since Donny is violently psychotic and has a fearful reverence for fire. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: For the entire film, we assume the voices Donny hears are simply auditory hallucinations, though as he burns to death, they denounce him as a failure, and later another abused child is depicted as hearing disembodied voices identical to the ones Donny heard. | |

Real After All: While the film is shown primarily through Donny's POV, and thus subject to Unreliable Narrator in regards to the disembodied voices he hears and the visions of charred corpses he sees, the ending implies that at least one of those voices wasn't just the product of his decaying sanity; another abused boy named Michael starts hearing the same voice that Donny heard, telling him that they'll help. | |
