STORYLINE
This movie is about Sarah and her father as they go to their lakeside retreat to pack up inside because it's being sold. While there, her uncle also helps get the place up to scratch has to leave to get an electrician to check the wiring, but after he goes, she starts hearing noises and seeing what the things are people inside the house. Soon she and her dad are attacked by someone or something and they end up in a fight for their lives. But there's something more going on that what she thinks.

MY REVIEW:
This was a remake of a 2010 Uruguyan film of the same name, but in Spanish, La Casa Muda. I feel that this was a decently successful movie. It was effective and a little scary at first, but the twists allow it seriously to go downhill.

Elisabeth Olsen stars as Sarah and her father John, played by Adam Trese and her Uncle Peter, Eric Sheffer Stevens and their trip to their vacation house to clean it up and see it. That;s when the strange stuff happens. Starts out pretty slow and gets intense and creepy. The real time aspect of this being shot as one long sequence is interesting but it's a serious weakness for me. It's scary at times, but also pretty boring. Decent movie, but not great.
