User Reviews

Do not waste your money

Watched Silent House yesterday, it was horrible. I can not emphasis enough how HOR.A.BILL this movie was. It was dull, NOT scary, NOT original, and slowwwwww. The acting was bad, oh so bad. Do NOT waste your money, don't even waste your bandwidth downloading it. It was so bad that I think that the screenwriter of this movie should never be allowed to write again. My husband and I figured out the movie in the first scene with the father, the way he was leering at her, I thought I was about to watch a bad porno. I wish I could get back the 80mins of my life that I wasted sitting through this movie. If this had been a netflix movie, it would have been taken out in the first 15mins, and put in the mail.
