The Silent House (2011)

In 7 words or less: Clatter....... Bump....... Scrape...... BOO!..........New pants please.

Best bits? How quickly it gets into it - boom! And you're off! It's not too long either, at 82 mins - the perfect length for this fairly one dimensional film. But what a dimension it is! The tension through out is insane. Seriously, I was watching through the fingers for extended periods. I did have a very slight reservation about it, but I'll chat to people that have seen it to see how they feel.
Also, being in a foreign language really helps overlook any possible acting issues - I thought all the acting was great, but in American it would probably have felt quite a lot cheesier.

Did it make you think thoughts?
I must take down the posters for my "spooky abandoned house renovation" business.

Would you watch it again? Hmm, maybe not. It was gruelling, and once I got through it, knowing how it pans out would probably change the experience, I won't say how... but that means I probably won't.

Rating (out of 100%): 75% - This film is TENSE and the mood is perfect for nearly all of it.
