The Silent House

Uruguay

Nifty horror thriller shot in one continuous take. A young woman and her father are hired to clean an abandoned house...and there their troubles began.

Striking cine...all hand-held, lit by lanterns or flashlights in the scary dark house. The cast quickly reduced to the woman and she spent most of the film whimpering...which got old...but late in the film there were revelations which gave the story some substance. And the final, post-credit sequence rocked.

Nice variation on an oft-used theme.
