Story

From the directors of the hit film "Open Water," "Silent House" is a uniquely unsettling horror thriller starring Elizabeth Olsen as Sarah, a young woman who finds herself sealed inside her family's secluded lake house. With no contact to the outside world, and no way out, panic turns to terror to terror as events become increasingly ominous in and around the house. Directed by filmmaking duo Chris Kentis and Laura Lau, "Silent House" uses meticulous camera choreography to take the audience on a tension-filled, real time journey, experienced in a single uninterrupted shot.

REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..places a limited number of characters in an isolated setting..”
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter]
“..stylistic exercise from "Open Water" directors Chris Kentis and Laura Lau, "Silent House" twists camera and narrative alike, but repulses more than it scares..”
by Rob Nelson [Variety]
“..the nimbleness of the film's staging can't overcome a creeping monotony..”
by Nick Pinkerton [Village Voice]
