Elizabeth Olsen turned a lot of heads in last years Sundance hit, Martha Marcy May Marlene, and she looks ready to take Sundance again this year with a single-take, single location horror film (from the directors of Open Water, Chris Kentis and Laura Lau) called Silent House (Not to be confused with Dream House or Silent Hill). The trailer is marvelously edited with its use of freeze-frame shots evoking crime scene photography, cuts to black, and a well realized ramping up of claustrophobic tension. Give it some points for working Arvo Pärt’s haunting and sparse “Spiegel im Spiegel” into the mix as an ironical musical background – even if they kind of waste its power by chopping it up.

I am certainly damn curious to see how good this film is, and thank goodness it is not a found footage horror movie.

Full trailer is tucked under the seat.
