Silent House

There is another Olsen sister?!!  Where in the name of crohns is this girl's twin?  in days of late the Olsen twins have been hitting rock bottom with their almost extinct movie career, yet I don't feel bad because they're still filthy rich. They continue to get money from such classics as "Billboard Dad", and their now very successful clothing line, so don't pity them too much.  But with every death of twins comes the rebirth of talented younger sisters... I don't know if that's a saying or not.  Not only does this girl have at least SOME meat on her bones, but she also has this natural beauty that isn't being bombed by first-class make-up companies.  "Silent House" is another one of those Horror films that's inspired by true events, which means in real life the main character was probably a 400 pound male with knee issues who lives in a haunted apartment.  The story follows a college-aged girl named Sarah, who is helping her uncle and dad fix up their old lake house so it can be sold for a buttload of money.  Since the power has been shut off it makes fixing up the house a chlling experience, and before you know it Sarah is in terror.  She hears dads fall down, see's creepy pioneer girls, evades pedophile uncles, and tries to find out who the intruder is.

The Good:
Being a Horror fan, it's very common to go see Horror films that are ALWAYS THE SAME!  when you look closely you realize that most exorcism movies involve innocent (but attractive) women, haunted houses always have some creepy girl who looks as if she's been rolling in the pig-pen, and slashers always include some misunderstood man with a deformed face who takes his rage out on jersey shore douchebags (and I support them in that endeavor).  "Silent House" is a very different take on "haunted house" Horror, because the entire film, lasting 88 minutes, is done in entirerly ONE TAKE.  This means that you're with Sarah in her terror-filled world every step of the way, almost like you're in her shoes... except I didn't like the shoes she was wearing, and I prefer shoes that make me sassy and bring out the color in my eyebrows.

The Bad:
shooting the entire movie in one take was brilliant, like giving Malfoy a goatee at the end of the final Harry Potter film, but just because the movie presented a good idea, doesn't mean the entire thing was like a bowl of peaches smothered in vanilla ice-cream.  Shooting a flick in Real time means that you get to be along the main character for the whole 88 minutes, which means that you'll be terrified to the point of crapping your pants when she gets scared, but that also means that when she's bored you get slightly bored as well... and to that I say, "bathroom break!!"

The Ugly:
I not sure what to say when it comes to this movie being worthy enough to buy, because I thought it was awesome to boot, but some people might not think the same!  the only real downfall is the couple small boring parts, and the fact that the movie doesn't have the most replay value.  Now me personally I buy all Horror films regardless of how good they were, so the chances are very high that i'll be purchasing this since it was entertaining, but again i'm not like other "more strict" Horror fans out there.  That's the beautiful part about having ADHD is that you get entertainment out of pretty much everything!!  Seriously!  I would get the same enjoyment "people watching" at Wal-Mart that I would get when visiting Niagara Falls.
