I’m not really one for horror films but with winter coming on, I seem to enjoy them with the darkness a little bit more.  The 21st Stockholm Film Festival is to show Gustavo Hernández’s The Silent House, a film supposedly based on a true story of a daughter and father who are hired to renovate a boarded-up broken down cottage in a rural area of Uruguay. They plan to spend the night at the house and begin the work the following morning. But the teenage daughter starts to hearing noises from the upstairs, and that is where this haunted house story begins. The film is shot completely hand-held, and the house is lit using a combination of candles and lanterns. The film was allegedly shot in one 79 minute take. Check the trailer out here.
