Silent House

Reminiscent of the breathless right-behind-you tension of Ils (Them), full of playful reveals and made all the eerier by Hernán González's classically ominous score.

Cranks up the tension with fluid, choreographed camera moves and unnerving off-screen sounds.

A quick, fluid, scary tale that makes up for in quiet chills what it lacks in slam-bang craziness.

Até consegue criar um ou outro momento memorável, mas, de modo geral, é tristemente medíocre, jamais fazendo jus ao preciosismo técnico com que foi concebido.

The whole film is one gigantic trick, a piece of celluloid slight of hand that infuriatingly doesn't hold water.

A remarkable exercise in atmosphere and suspense.

The catch of this Uruguayan horror film is its structure, one continuous shot that takes us through a perplexing tale of disturbance, murder and madness.

has found a way not only to suggest a gimmick successfully carried through, but also to weave that gimmick into a richer thematic tapestry.

The stylistic angle comes off as a gimmick used to occupy the viewers' attention and keep them from stopping to think about how flimsy the script is.

Ambition can definitely detract from a project's bigger picture. The Silent House actually thrives on is aspirations.

...a passable cinematic experiment that does reward the viewer's patience on a relatively consistent basis.
