Teaser Trailer For Horrors Within The Silent House

Source:Tokio Films
February 3, 2010


Here's an intriguing premise and concept for a new Spanish horror film. The Silent House aka La Casa Muda directed by Gustavo Hernandez, photographed by Pedro Luque and produced by Gustavo Rojo boasts to be the first horror film to be shot in one long continuous take.

Filmed digitally using the Canon EOS 5D Mark, the film was meticulous planned to be shot without any cuts to give horror viewers an experience unlike any other they've ever seen in a narrative feature. Real fear in real time. (Could this be the next [Rec]?)

No release details yet for here in the States, but we'll keep our ears open for this one.

Check out the trailer below, followed by the synopsis and two images.



Synopsis: Laura (Florencia Colucci) and her father ( Gustavo Alonso) settle down in a cottage which seems to be off the beaten track in order to update it since its owner ( Abel Tripaldi) will soon put the house on sale. They will spend the night there in order to start the repairs the following morning. Everything seems to go on smoothly until Laura hears a sound that comes from outside and gets louder and louder in the upper floor of the house. Wilson goes up to see what is going on while she remains downstairs on her own waiting for her father to come down. The plot is based on a true story that happened some time ago in a small village in Uruguay . “ La Casa Muda ” focuses on the last seventy four minutes, second by second, when Laura intends to leave the house which hides an obscure secret and she hopes to leave unharmed.

Let's hope it's not a crock of s***. If it isn't, I'll definitely see it, but then again, in the trailer, they say "Based On True Events", which every horror fan knows is usually bulls*** anyway

interesting nonetheless. Not the first time this is done though (single shot). There is a, I believe, Russian, Tchaikovsky-related movie where there's lots of dancing in lush ballrooms and stuff. That was all shot in one shot I believe. It's pretty mindblowing when you see it but the concept shouldn't be mind-blowing because it's pretty much a stage production, just on film. Stage actors need to know every line, every beat they need to hit whereas film actors have it easy focusing on one scene at a time.

This is pretty much a filmed theatre production without the theatre stage.

I'd still go see it don't think I'm hating on this without seeing it I'm liking what I'm seeing
