Universal Goes Silent

Elizabeth Olsen ( Martha Marcy May Marlene ) stars in this harrowing, edge-of-your-seat thriller presented in real time as one single, uninterrupted shot. Silent House is available on Blu-ray Combo Pack with Ultra Violet, as well as DVD, Digital Download and On Demand on July 24, 2012, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

When Sarah (Olsen) finds herself sealed inside her family’s secluded lake house with no contact to the outside world, panic soon turns to terror as events become increasingly ominous.  Directed by filmmaking duo Chris Kentis and Laura Lau (Open Water), Silent House uses meticulous camera choreography to take the audience on a tension-filled, real time journey.  Also starring Adam Trese (40 Days and 40 Nights, Zodiac) and Eric Sheffer Stevens (Julie & Julia), Silent House is an intensely visceral experience that Dan Jewel of Life & Style raves is “unbearably suspenseful and utterly terrifying.”
