Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Filmmakers Chris Kentis and Laura Lau ('Open Water') should have plugged the original's plot holes and straightened out its logic.

The camera's unblinking eye constantly stays with Olsen, and we feel in as much danger as she is.

It's Olsen's performance that makes Sarah's plight matter. And the actress proves that her mesmerizing turn in last fall's Martha Marcy May Marlene -- about a woman on the lam from a cult -- wasn't a fluke.

fresh:
Silent House feels like a psychotic episode come to life. It's impressive and oppressive, and it very effectively gets on your nerves.

fresh:
[Olsen is] terrific at showing shifts of emotion just underneath the skin of her wide, china-doll face.
