Joel H Silent House has all the elements of a captivating horror movie, yet it keeps tripping over itself by trying to be too artistic and cerebral. Elizabeth Olsen does a fantastic job in her role. She really sold her performance and helps you feel what her character is feeling. However, the supporting cast was kind of wooden. Also, the one continuous shot look is an impressive feat, but it also was distracting at times and made some scenes a little frustrating. And then there’s the ending, which felt forced, and left me with an unsatisfied feeling. I don’t think I’ll be visiting Silent House again. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/25 Full Review Audience Member This is in my top 5 favourite movies of all time. I also think it's a masterpiece, not just a favourite of mine. I know it's a remake, and have not seen the original one, but they really nailed it with this movie. Elizabeth Olsens first or second movie that she shot simultaneously with Martha Marcy May Marlene, which is actually a good double feature since they do have connections you can make on your own. And Elizabeth is excellent in this movie. Really, really strong performance with a lot of nuance, and was a sign of things to come with the psychological characters she was to play in the future. Chris Kentis and Laura Lau did a fantastic job with the directing, and the editing crew they had with them, production in general was amazing. They really made the scenes seem seemless as it is all shot, and edited as if it is one take. The music and sound is brilliant, it brings an eerie vibe and gives you that sense of tension as if something is looming, and brewing. The story is so intriguing, and once you start to find out what's actually going on, well, then the movie stays strong and keeps you on the edge until the credits roll. Which is difficult to do once the mystery has unravelled. Thank you for this movie, everyone who got it made. Thank you!

Trying to be one take. Actor Elizabeth Olsen's acting in this is highlight. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Dana K The tension was good throughout the film, as was Olsen's acting, but you can pretty much see the ending coming from a mile away fairly early…. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review Audience Member it's a remake of an Argentinian horror picture of the same name but nothing especially groundbreaking in the genre of horror here but Elizabeth Olsen is shaping up to be a young, prestigous actress she carries the film on her own the 1st half is cleverly creepy being shot in the dark, the 2nd half really tests the viewer knowing what's actually haunting this house and of course the ending sadly disappoints the fact that Silent House is also a one-shot picture is astonishing too since there are no cuts or any other edits it may be disorienting for some but anyone who can handle it should be ok some parts made me jump a lot too if you think this is another found-footage flick you are certainly wrong this movie is a sure showcase for the 3rd Olsen sister Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
