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

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:
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.
– Lisa Kennedy,

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

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