I waited so SO long to watch this movie and I had such high expectations for it! And when I finally watched it... Well... Damn!!!!!!! Maybe I should have watched it before checking "Atrocious" out.
When "The Silent House" was first promoted, it soon caught my attention because it was said to be a super thriller filmed following an original idea, poorly explored in the horror area: a real time story, shooted with no cuts. Supposedly based on true events - yeah, ok *rolleyes* - the eighty minutes promised to take the spectator through a living horror experience.
First of all, the movie has "the" tone. The production is good and the scenario, perfect. (So much for a creepy film - waste). The actors are good, but the script made them look dumb, and here the problems start. As soon as the suspence began, I heard myself cursing the stupidity of the protagonist. The more she acted, the more it looked like I was watching someone playing with her as in a videogame, instead of watching a movie.
All the "horror game factors" check:
- absurdly courageous character;
- don't hide, keep showing yourself;
- don't keep quiet, make noise;
- walk with a lamp and a weapon;
- look for danger;
- explore a macabre place.
To tell more about it would spoil the already hard-surprisingly twists in the plot, so that's it. Seriously, it does looks like a game. Therefore, my conclusion is: it would work way better as a game. So someone please make a game of it, there even should be written on the cover: "more enjoyable than a movie!". For once, this promotion would be true.
