Elizabeth Olsen gets her follow up lead in Silent House. Her last primary role was in Martha Marcy May Marlene, and this movie felt like part two of that movie in the creative process. The same camera style, same scenes, same role, same look as in MMMM. This movie was intended to be a scary one, and if you have seen any scary movie, this is more of the same, but not too terrifying. This is a remake of a previous Silent House.
There were gripping moments as we watch this young lady at this new home with her father. She finds herself relatively confined and frightened due to the noises and "other" presence in the house. The cliche surprises are a disappointment. Olsen does have some very gripping moments and brings some serious distress to her character and viewers as we watch her anxiety levels. Honestly, I hope Olsen gets a legitimate story and production to show viewers what she is capable of. She can act, but the retardation of her potential due to the story and role assigned is frustrating. Until this opportunity is presented, she will forever be the twins' little sister.
When I find I am more entertained playing Words with Friends and Draw Something on my iPhone during a movie, it leads me to give a low review and score to the film I am due to review. Silent House will pull a low 2 out of 5 Cyclones.
