The Case of Mr.Pelham(1955)

Dir: Alfred Hitchcock

"could a man actually be in one place, doing one thing, and still in his mind be somewhere else, doing something else?"

Mr. Pelham is petrified when he feels that he has a double who is impersonating him. He consults Dr. Harley, a psychologist. He expresses his fear that his double is slowly getting into his shoes, disguising as Mr.Pelham in clubs, offices and banks that he frequents. If this is allowed to continue, one day he himself might cease to exist and the double will be the new Pelham.

The Silent House (La Casa Muda) (2010)

Dir: Gustavo Hernandez

In an interview with the website Horror-101.com,Uruguayan director Gustavo Hernandez said that Uruguay produces only six films per year. Yet surprisingly one of the most brilliant approach to experimental cinema,this year had to come from this small South American nation.

Described by critics as "real horror in real time", The Silent House is a 72 minute movie about a real event. What makes this movie special is that it is made without a cut. What effect will that create? Well primarily the prolongation sustains the horror atmosphere throughout the 72 minute. The convention of breaking time and space is not followed, which eventually places the viewers in a real space in real time.

Based on a shocking event that happened in Uruguay in the 1940s, The Silent House is a fictional description of the final 72 minutes of three people in an estranged house in the middle of forest. The situation inside the house becomes eerie once they hear a noise that progressively grows louder. In an effort to find out the source of the noise two of them are brutally killed.

Shot entirely on a high definition camera and using minimum lights, The Silent House has the rawness of found footage films, while simultaneously following the traditional horror genre conventions.
