Trailer: ‘Silent House’ horror flick plays out in “real-time”

You can add Silent House to your list of must-see horror flicks in 2012 (it should sit next to The Woman in Black). The American remake of the 2010 Uruguayan Spanish-language original tracks Sarah, a woman trapped inside her family’s secluded lake house. What makes this movie special is the way it plays out: in real time, much like how events unfolded in the TV series 24. Directors Chris Kentis and Laura Lau claim that Silent House was shot entirely in one take, which is highly suspicious to say the least. But still the notion that maybe it was will certainly draw audiences to theatres, including myself. It stars the youngest Olsen sister Elizabeth who recently wowed critics in her debut film Martha Marcy May Marlene, which also happens to be a psychological thriller. Just who/what is terrorizing Sarah in this trailer? Find out March 9 when Silent House releases wide.
