Florencia Colucci is superb, easily shouldering the film. Also impressive is some genuine creepiness courtesy of clever lighting.

Nothing short of a bold, ingeniously executed and genuinely terrifying tour de force. Seek it out.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 13, 2018

The 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.

If this one-shot approaches imposes a strict unity of time and place on Hernandez's film, nonetheless the story will prove to be no more straight than the house is silent.

| Jun 20, 2013

A quick, fluid, scary tale that makes up for in quiet chills what it lacks in slam-bang craziness.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 5, 2011

At consegue criar um ou outro momento memorvel, mas, de modo geral, tristemente medocre, jamais fazendo jus ao preciosismo tcnico com que foi concebido.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 21, 2011

The whole film is one gigantic trick, a piece of celluloid slight of hand that infuriatingly doesn't hold water.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 3, 2011

The catch of this Uruguayan horror film is its structure, one continuous shot that takes us through a perplexing tale of disturbance, murder and madness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 25, 2011

A remarkable exercise in atmosphere and suspense.

| Original Score: C+ | May 25, 2011

has found a way not only to suggest a gimmick successfully carried through, but also to weave that gimmick into a richer thematic tapestry.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 24, 2011

The stylistic angle comes off as a gimmick used to occupy the viewers' attention and keep them from stopping to think about how flimsy the script is.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 18, 2011

Ambition can definitely detract from a project's bigger picture. The Silent House actually thrives on is aspirations.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 10, 2011

Reminiscent of the breathless right-behind-you tension of Ils (Them), full of playful reveals and made all the eerier by Hernn Gonzlez's classically ominous score.

| May 9, 2011

...a passable cinematic experiment that does reward the viewer's patience on a relatively consistent basis.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 5, 2011

The 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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 12, 2011

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 10, 2011

[An] occasionally jolting but largely unconvincing Uruguayan horror flick...

| Apr 10, 2011

The chief wonder of this horror, directed by Gustavo Hernndez, is that it was filmed with a digital camera in one single shot.

If you are a fan of atmosphere-led, low-budget horror in the vein of Paranormal Activity then this is a worthy watch.
