Gar Conn I'm mostly impressed at what they did for $200,000, It's a very good film with a range of emotions. A creepy love story with enough scares to keep you engaged. Different enough to be worth your viewing time. Also, the dialogue was spoken strong enough, so I didn't need to use subtitles. I've seen too many movies forget about that.

Spikeopath Out of Hammer Films, The Quiet Ones is loosely based on the Philip Experiment in Toronto 1972. It involves paranormal research that seeks to prove supernatural entities are in fact manifestations of the human mind.The complete opposite of Hammer's hugely successful The Woman in Black, The Quiet Ones is set in the 70s (Oxford, England). The house the action is set in is naturally remote, though it lacks the Gothic chill required for maximum impact. The makers are more intent on jolts and screeches to get their scares, which sadly gets a bit tiresome come the mid-point. It's effectively chilling at times, with some well mounted spooky atmospheric moments - while Olivia Cooke as the focal point of the "happenings" gives a sturdy and impressive turn, but it feels old hat and fails to deliver on its promise. 6/10

mhewitt0728 The movie was better than some Indie horror flicks I've seen. But, the director/editor used a gimmick that a lot of horror films use: sudden, LOUD noise to shock the audience. So, it wasn't so much the actual movie that was scary, it was the super quiet scene interrupted by a sudden, startling noise right as something was happening that had me jumping out of my seat. It got to be quite obnoxious. Well-made horror films may use this technique once or twice in their content (or maybe not), but this film used it way too much. Also, the sound level itself is erratic. So if you watch this on DVD, expect to have to constantly have to adjust the sound or risk missing a line or blowing out your ear drums. There is one part where something manifests from the experimental subject's mouth that seemed too sophomoric and "sci-fi" to be based on fact(as is touted in the beginning credits). But the photos of the actual people at the end of the movie had me believing and checking online for the real story.

LeonLouisRicci There is Nothing Very Quiet going on here. There are a lot of Jump Scares and Loud Noises. The Overuse of these Cheap Thrills are the Film's Biggest and most Glaring Flaw.The Look of the Thing is 1970's and it could have been Shot On Film Stock from some Archive. The Movie manages the Retro Feel and this adds to the Creep Factor Immensely. In Addition, the Acting is Superb for a B-Picture and the Scares, aside from the aforementioned Jumps are Gripping and have a Docu-Style Gravitas. It's pretty Bloody and Gory for a PG-13. The Movie st Times is Aided by a Realistic Ambiance.It gets a bit Confusing in the Third Act and not all of it Makes a lot of Sense, but the Film cannot be denied its ability to Intrigue with a Complex Psychological/Demonic Possession Story. The Intertwining of "Documentary" Footage inside Documentary Footage Works well. Although the Found Footage that occasionally Intrudes may have been Better on the Cutting Room Floor. At this point in Time, the Overuse of this Type of Thing is Unwelcome.
