Review: Silent House

A movie all filmed in one long continuous take? Putting aside for a moment the technical cheats actually used to achieve this (it was really filmed in 10-minute sections and carefully edited), it sounds like an interesting experiment, non? Like that time when we all thought that staring at Ryan Reynolds in a box for 90 mins couldn't possibly work. Unfortunately, this time it really, really doesn't. It turns out that there's a reason why directors cut away to other stuff: to prevent our brains from haemorrhaging in protest.
