The Silent House

Imported straight from Uruguay, The Silent House is a not-so-traditional haunted house film that‘ll mess with your senses. Told in one seemingly continuous shot, a young girl is tormented by an unknown presence residing in an abandoned house. With an excellent use of darkness, eerie cinematography and “what the fuck was that?” sound effects, The Silent House maintains a cardiac-arresting amount of intensity. Fragments of story are presented sparingly, leaving the audience to piece it all together. Once you get to the ultimate reveal however, you might feel slightly cheated. Nevertheless, the film still delivers a deliriously unsettling 80 minutes.
