The Silent House is a horror film from 2010 that centers around a young girl named Laura, who is helping her father and uncle to clean and restore their old country home. The movie takes place entirely within the house, with events unfolding in real-time. Laura and her father, Wilson, arrive at the old house and meet up with Laura's uncle, Nestor. Nestor explains that they're there to fix up the house so that they can sell it. Laura is excited to spend the night in the house because she used to visit it as a child and has fond memories.
However, things quickly become strange and unsettling as the three of them start to hear strange noises and feel like they're being watched. Laura begins to see eerie visions and experiences unexplainable occurrences, all the while being unable to communicate with anyone outside of the house due to a lack of phone signal.
As the night goes on, tensions rise and paranoia sets in. The relationship between the three family members becomes strained and they start to turn on each other, each blaming the other for the strange events. Their sense of reality becomes distorted, and they start to question whether the house is haunted or if they're just going insane.
The tension and suspense in The Silent House is masterfully built through the use of long, continuous takes, with no cuts or breaks in the action. The camera follows the characters as they move through the house, building a sense of claustrophobia and isolation. The use of lighting and sound design is also incredibly effective, with the shadows and creaking floorboards adding to the tension and unease.
As the night wears on, the situation in the house becomes increasingly dire, and Laura is forced to confront the true horror of what's happening. The Silent House is a tense, unsettling film that will leave you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
The Silent House is a 2010 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 26 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.3.
