Silent House (2012)

Silent House's movie trailer looked good and suspenseful if not not scary. A young woman (Elizabeth Olsen) is trapped in a house. Cue the jumps, bumps and active imagination...and scary bad guys. And from the buzz, it sounded exciting. The movie was made in one continuous shot--really, it was just a collection of really long takes that really felt to the untrained eye as if there were no cuts or edits. The main character of Sarah (Olsen) is helping her dad and uncle clear out their old summer house when her uncle and dad have a fight, her uncle leaves and not long after, her dad has been attacked in another room of the house.
