Synopsis: Trapped inside her family’s lakeside retreat, a young woman descends into madness.
Release Date: March 9, 2012
Thoughts: You’ve seen this movie before, I know. The set-up looks derivitative of any countless number of scare (or not-so-scare) fests that have plagued movie-goers for the last 3 decades. What intrests me most about this film is that the movie is done in ONE TAKE. ONE TAKE! Who knows how successful it will be but the 2010 Spanish language original got high marks for originality and overall spookiness. Elizabeth Olsen, who made an impressive debut in this year’s Martha Marcy May Marlene, is a different kind of actress for the woman in peril so I really am intrigued to see how this one plays out.
Yes, very ambitious indeed. Hopefully it can hold it’s own and become a good horror movie that was shot in one take. Instead of a movie that was shot in one take, which also happens to be a horror movie.
Was the Spanish version the same name?
Hey Adam,
The Spanish film is also called “The Silent House” or “La Casa Muda”.
That’s a great way to look at this movie…let’s hope it’s a good horror movie done in one take rather than an overambitious experiment.
