At the risk of using an awful cliché, the only scary thing about Silent House is its length. Just short of 90 minutes, Silent House takes what could have been a good short film and drags it out to the point of torture, not for the characters, but for the viewer. Never has a 90-minute film felt so interminably long.
Sarah (Elizabeth Olsen) goes to visit her father at a remote house she apparently used to spend a lot of time at. She meets up with Sophia, a childhood friend (Julia Taylor Ross) that she can’t remember. Her uncle (Eric Sheffer Stevens) is there, and arguing with her father (Adam Trese) about the renovations they are tryng to make to the house. You know, nonsense.
Then, somehow, Sarah ends up alone in the house, and someone tries to break in, and scares her. 20 minutes of her screaming, crying, and running in the near-dark later, her uncle returns home, and helps her look for her father, whom she found unconscious (but just left him there) somewhere in the house. Naturally, they can’t find him.
