Silent House is a unique and horrifying film that effectively captures the panic and fear that can come from being secluded to a particular location for too long. Presented in real time, and shot in a single 85 minute take, the film tells of the harrowing journey of our lead protagonist, Sarah, as she finds herself sealed within the summer house that she once called home. With no contact with the outside world Sarah begins to panic, especially after events lead her to believe that a mysterious man is lurking in the shadows.
Directed by the creators of Open Water and featuring a stellar performance by Elizabeth Olsen, the film will create a tingle in your spine and questioning just how you'd react if put in the same position.
While they can't legally seal you within a vandalized summer house, Open Road has created an opportunity for you to share your deepest and darkest secrets with the world (anonymously of course) through the chilling Facebook app 'We All Have Secrets'. For a limited time, after downloading the app, you can post your secrets for all the world to see. But not to worry, you'll get to read what skeletons other people are hiding in their closet.
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
