Movie Reviews

Sight and Sound - 9/10 by Mar Diestro-DópidoA remarkable exercise in atmosphere and suspense.
Fan The Fire - 8/10 by Sam BatheThe image of its heroine standing in silhouette in a doorway, unsure of whether to cross over, is quite simply the most iconic horror image of the year.
Guardian - 8/10 by Peter BradshawIt's still atmospheric enough, and like the original, has a quasi-theatrical event status. But it feels like a copy.
HeyUGuys - 8/10 by Jamie NeishNothing short of a bold, ingeniously executed and genuinely terrifying tour de force. Seek it out.
Dork Shelf - 7/10 by Shelagh Rowan-LeggThe claustrophobia extends out into the audience; I can't remember the last time a film made that many viewers jump so many times. But the narrative is not enough to sustain it, and the final explanation is less than gratifying.
Daily Express (UK) - 6/10 by Henry FitzherbertIf you are a fan of atmosphere-led, low-budget horror in the vein of Paranormal Activity then this is a worthy watch.
Empire Magazine - 6/10 by Kim NewmanIt works as a suspense-building scare machine, given heart and depth by Olsen's performance - though it's still an effective exercise in misdirection rather than a strikingly original vision, and now it's a remake of an effective exercise in misdirection.
Independent (UK) - 6/10 by Anthony QuinnThe catch of this Uruguayan horror film is its structure, one continuous shot that takes us through a perplexing tale of disturbance, murder and madness.
PopMatters - 6/10 by Bill GibronAmbition can definitely detract from a project's bigger picture. The Silent House actually thrives on is aspirations.
Film.com - 6/10 by William GossReminiscent of the breathless right-behind-you tension of Ils (Them), full of playful reveals and made all the eerier by Hernán González's classically ominous score.
