What to Know

Critics Consensus

Shot in a single take, The Silent House may be a gimmick movie, but it's one that's enough to sustain dread and tension throughout.

If this one-shot approaches imposes a strict unity of time and place on Hernandez's film, nonetheless the story will prove to be no more straight than the house is silent. Go to Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com 06/03/2011
2/4
The whole film is one gigantic trick, a piece of celluloid slight of hand that infuriatingly doesn't hold water. Go to Full Review Mar Diestro-Dópido Sight & Sound 05/25/2011
A remarkable exercise in atmosphere and suspense. Go to Full Review Naila Scargill Exquisite Terror 02/28/2019
Florencia Colucci is superb, easily shouldering the film. Also impressive is some genuine creepiness courtesy of clever lighting. Go to Full Review Jamie Neish HeyUGuys 08/13/2018
4/5
Nothing short of a bold, ingeniously executed and genuinely terrifying tour de force. Seek it out. Go to Full Review Shelagh Rowan-Legg That Shelf 05/15/2018
The claustrophobia extends out into the audience; I can't remember the last time a film made that many viewers jump so many times. But the narrative is not enough to sustain it, and the final explanation is less than gratifying. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/02/2019 Very near perfection. See more 02/16/2019 Interesting experiment in taken in one shot...only natural it lacks in effects and dramaturgy....nonetheless more soul than many big budget productions See more 03/18/2017 Slow-moving and boring. See more 02/26/2017 Creative horror flick filmed in one shot and looks like one take, pretty impressive. Confused by the ending. Thought maybe I'd missed something but went to read the wiki-synopsis and still as confused. But that's giving me some weirdness to think about. See more @c0urtn3y 03/14/2016 BAH; it's Spanish and the version i watched didn't have subtitles so i have no idea what was said. but there really wasn't a lot of dialog, so i guess that's okay. although i don't know what that ending was... so maybe that dialog would've been helpful. this movie is very dark -- meaning it lacks in lighting -- and there are a lot of shaky camera shots focused on her but you know something's going to happen in the background so you just watch the background type of scenes... so that was suspenseful. but other than that i didn't really care for it. See more 07/02/2014 Slow to start and then the plot goes all over the place. See more Read all reviews
