Sundance 2011: SILENT HOUSE Purchased But Is The Gimmick A Hoax?
Silent House gets picked up by Liddel Entertainment today, but is the film’s gimmick a scam?
Mickey Liddell‘s Liddell Entertainment has picked up domestic and most world rights to the horror film Silent House after it’s premiere at Sundance. The film is a remake of the Gustavo Hernandez-directed Uruguayan thriller La Casa Muda which premiered at Cannes.
Silent House is about a girl (Elizabeth Olsen) who gets stuck in an old house that is possibly haunted. What makes the film special is that it’s supposedly filmed in one continuous shot. This sounds pretty cool, but it is all just a big marketing scam?
“[Silent House] is told in real time in one continuous take, just as Sarah sees – and experiences – it.”
“…We were immediately intrigued and excited by the challenge of telling a story in a single unbroken camera shot. Making this film fascinated us, as it presented a unique approach to filmmaking, and a new way to experience a movie.” … “Our fantastic actors and crew embraced the rigors involved in shooting this film. We were very fortunate to be working with a luminous and gifted leading lady, Elizabeth Olsen. Following her in a continuous take with no cuts, she draws the audience into her reality, provoking what we hope is an intensely visceral experience.”
