Okay, it's another Friday and that means another release of some new movies! This week, the movie that kind of got my attention was the trailer for a 'turn on the light' kind of feeling. Silent House. I guess you could say I was in the mood for a good scare. If anyone out there ever saw The Devil Inside, we needed something after that to make us think that scary movies could actually be good anymore. Silent House is not that movie. It's just a small step.
The movie is based on a woman who goes to her family's lake house and finds her and her family secluded. They end up having no contact with the outside once in the house. Of course that would happen though, right? I was really hoping that the trailers on TV would actually mean that the movie was even scarier in the theater. It wasn't the case for The Devil Inside and it wasn't the case for this film either.. It's yet again one of those movies that shows all the good stuff on the TV and just prolongs a story with all the good parts in the previews.
Also, the fact that the movie was barely even at 90 minutes. 88 to be exact. The first 50 minutes builds the hype, seen the previews, then the last half hour just comes to a complete stop and that's the story. I'm sorry, but I don't really find any really good scary movies out there yet. I vote this one is just a small step from The Devil Inside and hopefully we can go up from here. I hope there's going to be that one scary movie that just blows all of these out of the water. Waiting for that one to come!
I was actually considering going to see this movie because horror films are my favorite. After reading this though I am definitely glad that I didn't go out and waste my money on it. I'm hopeful for a new scary movie to come out as well so I'll definitely keep reading this. Thanks for the input.
