Silent House, review - Telegraph Amplifying the virtues, but also the flaws, of the Uruguayan horror film they're remaking, Open Water directors Chris Kentis and Laura Lau get off to a technically impressive start with the gimmick of doing it in one continuous shot, as Elizabeth Olsen's skittish heroine creeps around an electricity-free lake house helping her dad and uncle pack. We know a freak-out is imminent, and it's rattlingly effective for a good hour, until they ape an absurd sequence with a Polaroid camera's intermittent flash as the only light source, and tie it all up with catastrophic back story. Olsen's brilliantly nervy and detailed performance deserved a flick that knew how to house it.
