'Silent House' takes on the single-take in horror movies with mixed results
I like the idea of single-take moviemaking in horror.
Leash the camera to a compelling actor and watch the scares spill over the protagonist in real time. Properly done, it could present the relentless escalation of tension and terror. The stakes in the story would have to be higher and the action thicker as the events would only have the normal running time of a feature movie to unwind.
There's the potential for tighter storytelling, innovative camera tricks and a new subgenre for fright films as the latest craze of "found" footage has run its course.
