SILENT HOUSE will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend, and MTV scored a look at the first footage. Peep the 30-second clip below. The film is a remake of last year’s Uruguayan flick LA CASA MUDA, which made headlines for being filmed in one continuous shot. Here is the plot:
Sarah returns with her father and uncle to fix up the family’s longtime summerhouse after it was violated by squatters in the off-season. As they work in the dark, Sarah begins to hear sounds from within the walls of the boarded-up building. Although she barely remembers the place, Sarah senses the past may still haunt the home.
The movie comes from OPEN WATER director Chris Kentis and writer Laura Lau. It stars Elizabeth Olsen (younger sister of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, below), Adam Trese, Eric Sheffer Stevens, and Julia Taylor Ross.
