Film Review_Silent House_Cabin (2012)




The Silent House. 

Yes, there was a house and yes, there was a lot of silence inside the house but NO, it wasn't creepy at all. 

The plot seemed interesting enough and as we hold our breath for a really creepy or even scary ending, lets say like ‘The Strangers’ or ‘identity’ , it turns out to be a big dud. As uninteresting as the lead actress’ acting, the deserted Silent House and its twist-the-twist ender bring bore to another level.

My Rating : B

Cabin in the Woods 

Similarly with the ‘Cabin in the Woods (written by Joss Whedon of the Avengers), ‘Cabin’ failed miserably combing the horror of The Midnight Meat Train and the peculiarity of 13 Ghosts and appeal of “The Truman Show’. Another twist-the-twist ender, one is left wondering why there was even an attempt to make the plot plausible. 
My Rating : B 

The two films were much-awaited horror / thriller genre films this year and sadly the waiting turned sour.
