Konterr Brilliant and touching

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

zts1995 Okay so i watched this before i watched the US remake. All's i have to say is wow. this was a very effective film. the lead killed the role, she did a stellar job. i know this film boasts being done in one take but that isn't actually true, HOWEVER, the filmmakers did an amazing job at simulating that. Before i read more into it, i actually did believe this movie was shot in a single take. I really have no complaints with this film. Its a very well done, well written, well acted and well directed movie. One of my favorite Spanish horror films yet. Highly recommend watching in Spanish with subtitles, watching the version dubbed in English isn't near the same experience. I don't watch a huge amount of foreign films but this one caught my eye and did not disappoint one bit.I loved the way the story went,*SPOILER ALERT* the main lead is made out to be the victim but in reality she is the killer. what we see isn't actually existent. I thought this was done more then effectively. Keeps your attention to the very end. Turn the lights down and enjoy this creepy flick, its well worth the watch!

sqdnb what i was expecting hearing a movie from uruquay, after a lot of great Spanish horror movies was good enough, that Americans made a remake of it.so i sat down watching the movie and tried to get what this movie wanted to deliver. but just after starting the movie i felt kind of awkward about the girl's weird behaviour, the endless long shooting of film when there is nothing happening and a terrible shaky camera. sure here some people would now say, that this is the beauty of that movie . but if there is no story, no depth, no activity at all in a movie and you do all that, then you just created the most boring movie you can imagine.. when the girl in the movie heard voices, saw her father being murdered, saw her father's position changed, saw the killer or meets her affair her reaction is completely unnatural and failed to deliver any authentic feeling to the viewer. AH of course now is a good time to say that i am just too stupid to get the ending and that she actually killed everyone. you people are so easy to manipulate if that is so... i don't know how many movies i've watched with the same twist to clean up a bad movie and make you think that you are the idiot and not the people who created the movie. even she killed them her emotions would look a lot different.well back to the movie: -girl walking around in the house in slow motion, having an incredible interest in looking at every piece of equipment. -girl's father died and his body is changing rooms many times in the movie. -girl walking around in the house in slow motion, having an incredible interest in looking at every piece of equipment. -girl happily found the key to get outside -girl running outside and sees a creepy girl -girl happily meets her friend (later you know her affair) -girl can not answer the question of "where is your father?" and says "i don't know", later to be revealed to be the "brilliant" twist of this unworthy movie. -girl doesn't want to go back to the house but the guy is eager and doesn't care about the blood on her dress -then inside the house the girl is happy to be back in the house and starts to space up looking at house equipment. -girl's affair suddenly disappeared -girl finds her affair and he pretends to be dead -girl is actually starting to talk and we are all happy knowing that the whole thing we saw is just pure fiction of the girl's mind .......endacting: just a really stupid idea to give a amateur actress a role where she has to act out her emotions non-stop through a whole movie, where she completely failed.screenplay: in general just a guy holding a camera and walking behind the girl the whole movie.dialogue: senseless and stupid even if you are happy with the great twist.atmosphere: sometimes good then again just boringsound: actually pretty nice and mild use of music and sounds

Aaron Woolston For a $6000 budget, filmed in the country of Uruguay, and allegedly filmed in a single shot in the course of 4 days, The silent house seemed like quite the contender for the horror films of 2010 .To begin with the camera effects seem to have the 'marmite' affect on most people, you love it or you hate it, and in my case I love them, you see the shaky camera effects make you feel as if you are there amongst the horror of the mysterious murders/ circumstances. Although the camera offers us a 3rd person view of the main protagonist through out, until the very end, this somehow tells us the story in her eyes, which I think was done pretty well.Otherwise the real downer of this film is the story line, this wasn't based on a true story, it was based on the fact that 2 people were found dead, this is merely a way to make films slightly more scary, For example do you really think there was a monster in Europe, and it's master called Frankenstein? No... This is one of the weapons in story tellers arsenal, it helps keeps you on the edge of your seat, and keeps you wondering at night, but I digress the story is cheap and cliché, though the film can split into 2 parts, The first part that keeps us on edge after the suspicious death of Laura's father after that comes the second part which is a downwards spiral of despair, and definitely kept me wondering of why I was watching the film, but something kept me glued to it and perhaps that was the fact that I wanted to see how it ended, to see if this was a cheap copy of Paranormal activity or just an alternative to Shrooms without the 'Shrooms. The story isn't explained very well at all, and I had to come here to find out what hell was going on.To conclude if you want to watch a cheap cliché horror, this should waste an hour or so...

trashgang This is the flick made by Gustavo Hernández that put Uruguay on the map. And that for two reasons. First of all, it is a simple story and is so-called based on a real event. Secondly if you watch the flick closely than you can see that it was filmed in one shot. For that alone I would give Gustavo a big cheer. There are a few moments were the camera goes over black and there he could have edited something but still it is to be believed that it was a one shot flick. On the other hand it clocks in at 90 minutes and let me first say that I hate people going out of the cinema while the end credits are running and this is a perfect example why, after the credits the flick goes further for some 10 minutes!! There are only 4 actors in it but the most important one was Florencia Colucci, she did an excellent job and carries the movie all the time. Naturally it can't be all positive that I am saying. Due the reason of one shot projects you are bound do restrictions. You can't have close-up to close-up when they are talking, and you have to notice that the camera has to follow you too everywhere you go. Excellent done by Pedro Luque but it slows the flick down sometimes. But if you dig the first 40 minutes then you are going deeper into what is happening. It isn't gory or whatsoever, there is red stuff in it and it really needs the dark to give the creepy overlook. There aren't jump scene's in it like Apollo 18 or the Paranormal Activity saga but it do delivers some thrilling moments. If it is in fact based on a true story than it was really weird what happened. One to see due the way it was shot and for the country it was made. Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Story 4/5 Effects 4/5 Comedy 0/5
