Directors: Chris Kentis, Laura Lau Writers: Gustavo Hernández (based on the film by), Laura Lau (screenplay) Starring: Elizabeth Olsen, Adam Trese, Eric Sheffer Stevens, Julia Taylor Ross Single-take films are a rarity, probably both because of the obvious challenges involved in making them and because there aren't many stories that work well in that format. The most famous single-take film is probably Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 classic Rope. Based on the Uruguayan horror film La Casa Muda, also a single-take film, Silent House looks every bit the part of an uninterrupted 88 minute shot although I sense that it's not (and I've read that the final 15 minutes were re-filmed after the film's Sundance premiere). I'm sure there are several splices and cuts hidden in there but directors Chris Kentis and Laura Lau masterfully manage to keep them well disguised. If you've seen the trailer or heard about Silent House, you probably have...

Last year Elizabeth Olsen drew major notice at Sundance, not only for her star-making turn in the mind-bending drama Martha Marcy May Marlene but also for her subtle but solid performance in the real time horror-thriller Silent House. The latter features Olsen as Sarah Murphy, a young woman who accompanies her father to the family's isolated lake house, which they hope to repair and sell. However, shortly after their arrival, strange noises begin to spook her, and soon she and her father are trapped within the house in a deadly game of cat and mouse. While the concept is old, the execution is daring. Silent House plays out in real time, and is executed in a single take style that keeps the audience with Sarah through every step of her terrifying 88 minute ordeal. In a shrewd move, Silent House's U.S. distributor, Open Road Films, has chosen to hold...

On the site you get to experience Sarah Murphy's fear first hand as she finds herself sealed in her family's secluded lake house. The best part is that the site/app does not automatically post anything to your Facebook wall. The Silent House 'We All Have Secrets' viral site is really creepy and worth checking out. Directors Chris Kentis and Laura Lau will deliver Silent House with a great cast including Elizabeth Olsen (Martha Marcy May Marlene), Adam Trese (Zodiac) and Eric Sheffer Stevens.
