Silent House



Silent House is a 2011 American independent film of the horror genre; the film was directed by Chris Kentis and Laura Lau (the pair also created the 2003 horror film, Open Water). The plot focuses on a young woman who is terrorized in her family vacation home while cleaning up the property with her father and uncle. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2011 and was released in United States (US) theaters on March 9, 2012.
The film is a remake of the 2010 Uruguayan film, La casa muda (The Silent House), which was allegedly based on an actual incident that occurred in a village in Uruguay in the 1940s. The film is notable for its use of "real time" footage and the manufactured appearance of a single continuous shot, similar to Alfred Hitchcock's Rope (1948).
