Silent House: Press reviews

'now it's a remake of an effective exercise in misdirection. '

'Olsen's brilliantly nervy and detailed performance deserved a flick that knew how to house it'

'atmospheric enough, and like the original, has a quasi-theatrical event status. But it feels like a copy.'

'finishes up feeling like the film-makers ran out of ideas – they have tacked on a truly abysmal ending which almost undermines what is otherwise a really good movie.'

'Technically impressive, genre-smart and nerve-shredding while it lasts, Silent House is really just a fun campfire horror tale'

'there isn't much movie there '

'the subtleties of the original have been mostly blunted in the retelling'

'Inferior US remake of last year's Uruguayan horror film.'

'an unimaginative ‘re-imagining''

'lacked conviction, and in this version transposed to the States it loses whatever claims to individuality it once had as well as wasting the talent of Elizabeth Olsen.'
