Chris Kentis and Laura Lau’s horror film,
Silent House, failed at evoking any
emotion in me besides boredom and confusion. Sarah (Elizabeth Olsen) goes to
her family’s lakeside retreat house with her dad and uncle to help get the
house ready to sell. They thought the house had been long abandoned, but Sarah
quickly realizes they are not alone. The majority of the movie consists of a
drawn out game of cat and mouse, with Sarah desperately trying to escape the
taunting strangers trapping her inside. If the unrealistic acting and poor
cinematography aren’t enough, a bizarre plot twist occurs at the end of the
film, touching on issues of child sexual abuse and multiple personalities, that
makes the first 80 minutes of the 90-minute film completely pointless. The film
ends without going into enough detail or explanation of the abrupt twist,
leaving the audience confused and unsatisfied.
