The Silent House

Drama, Horror


The critical consensus

A short, sharp shock of innovative Latin horror.

***(*)(*)Kim Newman, Empire Online, 04/04/2011

Art-house horror at its most pretentious.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Quentin Letts, Daily Mail, 07/04/2011

A perplexing tale of disturbance, murder and madness.

***(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 08/04/2011

Gustavo Hernández’s one-take Uruguayan horror is daring and technically well-executed, but its plot clichés creak like old floorboards.

***(*)(*)Kevin Harley, Total Film, 07/04/2011

This is a smart, scary film and a technical tour de force with its own skin-crawling atmosphere of fear.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 07/04/2011

Hernández certainly deserves kudos for making such a good-looking film for no money, but budget limitations are no excuse for sloppy, nonsensical writing.

**(*)(*)(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 09/04/2011

Occasionally jolting but largely unconvincing.

Philip French, The Observer, 10/04/2011
