The Quiet Ones works on some levels, successfully mixing haunted house clichés with a layered, unpredictable plot, but the fact that it doesn't scare us means it fails on that one fundamental level so candidly vital in the horror genre. The intriguing plot and strong performances make for an interesting watch, but ultimately a forgettable one, which is a real shame. It's still the best horror movie this year as it stands, of course. This movie has the tension necessary to be creepy and unnerving and moderately entertaining.Shame about the last scene and a half. Why can't they let these things end? Does EVERY movie have to become a franchise?
