CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

adonis98-743-186503 The Quiet Ones is not something new or something that you never seen before and the ending proves that. But the 2 main characters make it interesting the acting isn't something special and the movie is boring for some minutes and the direction is also pretty meh. It's unoriginal and pretty horrible in terms of quality but it's a fun horror film and it even turns into a love story some time. Most of you won't enjoy it since it's something that you have seen like 50 times per year but if you're bored and you are looking for a dumb fun this one is pretty fun and at least better than most horror films that come everyday. I give it an 8.

LeonLouisRicci There is Nothing Very Quiet going on here. There are a lot of Jump Scares and Loud Noises. The Overuse of these Cheap Thrills are the Film's Biggest and most Glaring Flaw.The Look of the Thing is 1970's and it could have been Shot On Film Stock from some Archive. The Movie manages the Retro Feel and this adds to the Creep Factor Immensely. In Addition, the Acting is Superb for a B-Picture and the Scares, aside from the aforementioned Jumps are Gripping and have a Docu-Style Gravitas. It's pretty Bloody and Gory for a PG-13. The Movie st Times is Aided by a Realistic Ambiance.It gets a bit Confusing in the Third Act and not all of it Makes a lot of Sense, but the Film cannot be denied its ability to Intrigue with a Complex Psychological/Demonic Possession Story. The Intertwining of "Documentary" Footage inside Documentary Footage Works well. Although the Found Footage that occasionally Intrudes may have been Better on the Cutting Room Floor. At this point in Time, the Overuse of this Type of Thing is Unwelcome.

Roman James Hoffman Set during the 1970s, charismatic Oxford professor Joseph Coupland (Jared Harris) enlists a couple of his students and a cameraman (Sam Claflin) in an experiment to prove his pet theory that supernatural powers exist but are a manifestation of psychological trauma. In order to do this they study a young woman by the name of Jane Harper who displays telekinetic abilities but attributes it to an evil entity called Evey. The group hole up in an abandoned house-cum-makeshift research lab and Professor Coupland's theory is put to the test as all manner of creepy incidents take place and relations between the group become strained.The problem with the movie is…it just isn't that scary. The reason? Well, to me it felt like in both its content and its execution it was trying to be too many things at once. In terms of content it felt like the movie was part possession movie/part haunted house/part occult thriller. In addition, the religious doubt subplot of the cameraman introduced at the beginning doesn't seem to go anywhere and I have no idea why it was set in the 1970s. In terms of style, this confusion comes out in the feeling that it was trying to straddle both traditional narrative conventions and found-footage. Additionally, the movie seems to be going down an English understated scare approach for most of the movie until we see a conspicuous special effect which, in context, just looks cheap. I get the feeling that, given Hammer's heritage (and the success of 'The Woman in Black' from 2012) the movie was written as a slow and subdued Gothic atmosphere soaked piece but execs worried it wouldn't cut it and decided to ramp it up in a few places.I don't mean to sound so damning, as I found it quite easy to watch and not unenjoyable. However, I constantly found my attention drawn to other things (characters' wardrobes, editing etc.) when the movie was trying to build suspense which is always a sign that something is fundamentally missing. Still, the movie does carry with it a certain base-line creepy atmosphere from the locations and the performances are solid. But I just can't help feeling that it was imagined as being something slightly different and which would have been much better.

eddie_baggins Another new addition to the revitalized Hammer horror production line up, John Pogue's The Quiet Ones failed to reach the heights of Hammer's far more accomplished and well received reimaging of The Woman in Black from 2012 and completely flopped on release both critically and commercially. With many deriding The Quiet Ones on release and with a lowly feedback score from audiences you would expect this horror venture to be scarily bad, but in a surprising turn the film is a lot more effective than one would suspect even though it's potential was still far from reached.Another horror story inspired by actual events, the greatest strength of The Quiet Ones is in the telling of it's at times believable story, you're never absolutely sure on what exactly is occurring in the sense that there is either a rational explanation behind events or something far more sinister. Going the route of some old school found footage format in major places of the film also works well, unlike most modern day set found footage films where footage seems to be shot at the most inappropriate of times, the home movie filming here ads to the tension of the experiments taking place and never gets in the way of the actors who are led well by the ever good Jared Harris.Harris is another reason The Quiet Ones works to the level it does. Oft given tame supporting turns (Pompeii anyone?) Harris shares leading man duties with Sam Claflin's (who all girls would no doubt know as Finnick Odair from the Hunger Games) cameraman Brian, as dogged professor Coupland who is hell bent on finding a cure for the troubled/possessed young lady Jane Harper. Harris is a nice anchoring presence in a pretty fiery role while Claflin to has good moments as Brian. Director Pogue may fail to fully capitalize on the scares available to him with this story but there are enough jolts and jumps throughout to suggest that you'll think twice about sleeping with the lights off.The Quiet Ones is a small, effective little horror that never achieves any major heights to do anything that hasn't been seen before but there is enough within its intriguing story and enough power in its cast to overcome most major hurdles that occur with many such modern day horrors, that mainly being that they just aren't that scary. With a nice lead turn from Harris and some unpredictable turns, you could do far worse for your newest horror fix.3 untypical baby dolls out of 5 For more movie reviews and opinions check out - www.jordanandeddie.wordpress.com
