Real-Time, Real Fear Promised In Official ‘Silent House’ Trailer!
I love a film that keeps all of their cards close to their chest and then explodes leading up to release. Thus far, we’ve seen an clip that revealed nothing, along with a handful of stills featuring Martha Marcy May Marlene star Elizabeth Olsen. Now, Open Road is exploding out of the gate with an excellent trailer for Silent House, their remake of the Spanish La Casa Muda that was directed by Open Water‘s Chris Kentis and Laura Lau. Bloody Disgusting saw the film at its Sundance world premiere last January; Ryan Daley quite liked it.
In theaters March 9, the trailer promises real time fear, a kind of new spin on the genre (even though [REC] already did it). “Moment by moment, second by second, the silence will kill you…” states the trailer.
Olsen plays Sarah, “a young woman who finds herself sealed inside her family’s secluded lake house. With no contact to the outside world, and no way out, panic turns to terror to terror as events become increasingly ominous in and around the house.”
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
