While the remake is making a lot of noise over at the Sundance Film Festival, some new stills for the original Silent House (La Casa Muda) have made their way online! Dig it!

Directed by Gustavo Hernandez, photographed by Pedro Luque, and produced by Gustavo Rojo at an amazingly low budget that amounts to $6,000 (US). La Casa Muda (The Silent House) digs deeply into the unexplored subject of psychological terror, and here’s the full synopsis provided to us by Rojo:

Laura (Florencia Colucci) and her father Wilson (Gustavo Alonso) settle down in a cottage that seems to be off the beaten track in order to update it since its owner (Abel Tripaldi) will soon put the house up for sale. They will spend the night there in order to start the repairs the following morning. Everything seems to go smoothly until Laura hears a sound that comes from outside and gets louder and louder on the upper floor of the house. Wilson goes up to see what is going on while she remains downstairs on her own, waiting for her father to come down. The plot is based on a true story that happened some time ago in a small village in Uruguay. La Casa Muda focuses on the last seventy-eight minutes, second by second, while Laura attempts to leave the house, which hides an obscure secret, unharmed.

REAL FEAR IN REAL TIME is the most remarkable underlying feature of the film, which will not go unnoticed by all those who may be willing to experience this different and disturbing filming experience.
