Horror Movie Shot Entirely on Digital SLR
by admin ·
A Uruguayan horror film that is scaring people around the world in 'real time' was purportedly shot in one, 78 minute take on a digital SLR Canon EOS 5D Mark II.
The outcome is the prodigiously scary film The Silent House that is only dented by one plot twist toward the end that dampens the thrill of the movie somewhat. The plot centers on teenage Laura and her father Wilson, who are staying in an ominous dilapidated house in order to fix it up for Wilson's friend Nestor so he can sell it. Nestor tells them not to go upstairs, so of course they do. After night falls, Laura hears some bangs and scratches from the deserted top floor and convinces her father to investigate, and from that point things get really interesting. While the plot may be text-book horror, the inventive execution makes it fresh.
