Silent House (2012)

Silence is Moldin'
I feel like this film should have come with a warning: you may fall asleep! This film is so ultimately boring, and goofy, that for the 85 minutes you spend watching it, you may check your watch more than once. Only to discover that only 5 of them have passed. It is presented in one take, which only seems to add the distraction of trying to figure out how many of the shots were accomplished. Elizabeth Olsen's performance isn't strong enough to carry the majority of this film, but it is in the film's finale that she comes to life. Her co-stars are as flat, and as boring, as the script, and they manage to kill any hope of momentum when they enter the screen. There wasn't much that could save it, anyway.
