Zonche Let's get one thing straight. I have seen tons of horrible, trashy and stupid horror movies in my life. This movie has got to be the worst of them all. I am almost offended by how stupid and pointless it was. It was so horrible that I had to write a review about how bad it is. The plot is less than basic. The acting and directing make no sense (I am scared so why don't I hide from a murderer/stranger under a huge table cuz no one in the world can see me there, oh and the creepy basement is an amazing hiding spot too).Not one scary scene. ONE. Predictable, lazy and dare I say it one more time - pointless.The only thing that would have made me give it a two star was if one of the male stars had went shirtless at some point. Nope. Not even that. Whoever gave this movie more than 2 stars is either on drugs and had a blast or was part of the production. Please skip this movie, I beg you. I wish I had.

begob Girl gets locked in a house and finds herself alone amongst family.Interesting, slightly twisted story. The outstanding thing is the lighting - lots of lamps and mirrors, and a truly weird contrast between inside and outside. Even the car-interior lights do something different.The lead actress is good, with excellent decolletage, and the pace is well developed for such a claustrophobic story.The problem I had is that it's a bit earnest in the end - you guess the twist early on, and that's about as twisted as it gets.Overall, not as good as it looks - but it looks great.

Dorjee Wangyel Silent House is apparently a remake of an Uruguayan movie of the same title, which is allegedly based on a true story. It centres on Sarah, a young woman, who alongwith her uncle and father are terrorised by unknown assailants in their vacation home.The film is decent might I say and somewhat unique because it uses a "real time" footage technique, which basically means the events in the movie occurred within the span time of the movie, which is not a common thing. The directing approach is good, with flashlights as the only source of lights in most scenes closing up on Olsen's countenance, it makes for a good psychological stimulant. The performances are great as well. Olsen's performance is strong, no question about it, the girl can act very well. Playing a girl with a dark past, the role is clichéd but she certainly pumps in energy to the role.Unfortunately, the movie is predictable. The resolution being very typical, and something we've all been used to since the beginning of the genre. And even a good cast couldn't save this movie from spiraling into a cliché-dom.Overall, it's still worth a watch the definitely doesn't deserve the infamy it's being given by nonsensical reviews such as by the derogatory AV club review calling it one of the "worst" movie of 2012 when there were gazillion other horrid movies in that year and baseless CivlianScore survey rating of "F". 6.5 out of 10.

Adam Peters (50%) An affective, if overall nothing new little horror flick that's not exactly terrifying, but I thought Elizabeth Olsen was really quite good as she goes through the emotions of being alone within a spooky old house. And although the one take trick isn't exactly perfect, it's still a decent attempt at the concept with a fair amount of decent tension. I myself am fine with the so called problem ending as at least it tried to do something interesting, and didn't just blame everything that happened on ghosts, or maybe a boogie man of some kind. Overall this is a perfectly decent watch for anyone in the mood for a short slice of watchable horror.
