Earlier this week, I saw Open Road’s latest release, the one-take home invasion horror film Silent House. My review for the movie now up on GoSeeTalk– along with a nice piece of bonus content in the form of an interview I did on Wednesday with director/writer duo Chris Kentis and Laura Lau (Open Water). The movie gave me a lot to talk about– check out my review here— and my conversation with Chris and Laura even moreso, which you can see here. Enjoy!
(Big thanks to Open Road and Allied for putting me on the line with Chris and Laura.)
A Constant Visual Feast 
How was interviewing a pair of filmmakers for a film you didn’t care for?
The only thing I didn’t care for was the twist at the end, which I think could have been tweaked so as to avoid undermining the rest of the film. Everything else I actually did like, apart from two really minor, brief beats. Olsen’s so good that it’s almost worth watching just for her, but the sheer technical athleticism on display here is also really impressive.
Regardless, Lau and Kentis are such nice people that even if I’d hated Silent House I would have enjoyed myself and felt like I’d learned something. They had a lot of eye-opening things to say about the film.
