'Silent House' -- an 88 minute film shot in one, continuous take

And it features the one Olsen with talent.

This looks sick. Anyone know what true story it's supposed to be based on?

According to one of the blurbs in the trailer "it's presented as one single take", which could mean it looks like a single take but wasn't.

Either way, I dig a good haunted house flick - though I will likely wait until DVD/BD...

Some Children of Men trickery most likely.

Sorry for crushing some people's beliefs on that one...great sequence though for sure. VERY well edited.

You'd be correct. It's a Uruguayan film actually....I need to see that.

Uruguay also selected it as it's entry for Foreign film for the Oscars. very...interesting.

I saw the original last year. It's an interesting film, but if the remake is completely faithful to the Uruguayan version, I think a lot of people will be disappointed.

That's a pretty great trailer though....

I fall into the trap of looking to see where the edits are and I lose movie momentum. It's a curse.

Movie looks like it could be interesting.

Effective trailer. The opening was cut very similar to Texas Chainsaw Massacre's trailer. I might go see this one. I love a good haunted house movie. I even love bad ones.

Single take movies always seem to suffer from that gimmick imo.
