Time Out
"Filmmakers Chris Kentis and Laura Lau (Open Water) should have plugged the original's plot holes and straightened out its logic."
Empire
"An effective exercise in misdirection rather than a strikingly original vision, and now it's a remake of an effective exercise in misdirection."
Total Film
"Shredding while it lasts, Silent House is really just a fun campfire horror tale."
