Trailer for Silent House

Chris Kentis and Laura Lau (Open Water) return to terra firma for this remake of the "real time" Uruguayan thriller La Casa Muda. Their summer cottage vandalized by squatters during the off-season, Sarah (Elizabeth Olsen), her father, and her uncle begin the laborious process of cleaning the place up when noises from within hint they are not alone.

Chris Kentis and Laura Lau (Open Water) return to terra firma for this remake of the "real time" Uruguayan thriller La Casa Muda. Their summer cottage vandalized by squatters during the off-season, Sarah (Elizabeth Olsen), her father, and her uncle begin the laborious process of cleaning the place up when noises from within hint they are not alone. Now the deeper Sarah ventures into the derelict building, the further the secrets of her dark past are dragged out into the light. As with La Casa Muda, Silent House was shot in one continuous take, a production style that allows the viewer to experience the swelling tension of Sarah's horror firsthand as she unlocks a diabolical mystery.

  1. Positive review
    Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK] It's still atmospheric enough, and like the original, has a quasi-theatrical event status. But it feels like a copy. Full review External link
  2. Positive review
    Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph Olsen's brilliantly nervy and detailed performance deserved a flick that knew how to house it. Full review External link
  3. Negative review
    Nigel Floyd, Time Out Filmmakers Chris Kentis and Laura Lau ('Open Water') should have plugged the original's plot holes and straightened out its logic. Full review External link
  4. Positive review
    Kim Newman, Empire Magazine An effective exercise in misdirection rather than a strikingly original vision, and now it's a remake of an effective exercise in misdirection. Full review External link
  5. Positive review
    Ian Buckwalter, The Atlantic The camera's unblinking eye constantly stays with Olsen, and we feel in as much danger as she is. Full review External link
