  A review of House of Silence
  by Karl Gorman on 10/06/2011
  The way I see it: Set in a zombie apocalypse, the protagonist gets infected at the start and goes into a large house which is enchanted by Heaven/Hell powers. In a nutshell, the hero is a to-be-zombie (which is already something new) and he has to deal with a different type of supernatural forces... all WHILE the zombie apocalypse is going on. Something this original should... The way I see it:

  In a nutshell, the hero is a to-be-zombie (which is already something new) and he has to deal with a different type of supernatural forces... all WHILE the zombie apocalypse is going on.
  
  Something this original should be written as a feature-length film. Seriously. Especially since zombie-horror flicks are such a whole separate market in themselves.

  Angles and Depth
  A review of House of Silence
  by David Vincent Cortez on 02/20/2011
  I really enjoyed the various technical angles the director chose for this film. It brought a lot of interest and depth to alot of the sequences. I felt the story itself was good, and as a zombie horror fan, I am glad that the focus was on story development and no so much on gore, whether that was a directorial choice or budget limitation, I felt it was still appropriate for...

Bravo, well made, simple, effective and artistic. read

  Another Great Zombie Flick
  A review of House of Silence

  First off, I am bias because I do love zombie films and this was another good one. What can I say, I never get tired of this genre of films. I can see that the film has a higher production quality than normal short films and that always add credibility to the story that you're telling. The zombie-kill special effects were very well done! The suspense was just as good as I... First off, I am bias because I do love zombie films and this was another good one. What can I say, I never get tired of this genre of films.

  The zombie-kill special effects were very well done! The suspense was just as good as I would see in a major zombie film and the soundtrack really sells the isolation and dread of the world that you created.
  
  Overall, this short is a return to the old style black and white silent films of the 20s and done very well! read

  resident feel
  A review of House of Silence
  by mindconceptFILMS on 10/03/2010
  It seemed as if the director was inspired by a resident themed game, it was entertaining. the lack of dialogue didn't hurt the story by any means. I felt there could have been better foley/SD, it distracted me in some areas, also the post/effects were fun to watch. overall i thought it was entertaining, it had more of a spoof zombie feeling than scary.

  Good Work
  A review of House of Silence
  by MikeAscher on 09/09/2010
  For the most part it is really good. The shots are set up nicely and it moves along. The visuals were also very well done. I would suggest more hand held shots. It makes it look like you are there more then the tripod shots. Overall a very good piece.

  The first thing I noticed was that the production felt smooth and proffessional. The black and white was nice and rich it -added suspense to each frame. I was very impressed at the amount of information conveyed without the use of dialogue. Once again, the technical prowess of the filmmaker was very apparent. The gun fight and the way the blood puffed from the bodies was... The first thing I noticed was that the production felt smooth and proffessional.

  Once again, the technical prowess of the filmmaker was very apparent. The gun fight and the way the blood puffed from the bodies was impressive.
  The ending was vague but I enjoy a mental puzzle. My only criticism would be to make the ending slightly less vague in order to make more accessible. However, this may be the very reason that people come back for second viewings!
  The acting was great as was the editing.
  Overall this is an impressive short film I want to see more of this filmmaker's work! read

  Nice Concept
  A review of House of Silence
  by michaelmulcahy on 06/24/2010
  The story of zombies, as Romero proved back in 60's, is all about a heavy war on humans' morality, and just how much they value their own life against the betterness of society. You chose an interesting part of that story here, as the man gets contaminated and that ultimate question just comes up: where do I go from here? Always something fun to tackle, I would imagine. I actually... The story of zombies, as Romero proved back in 60's, is all about a heavy war on humans' morality, and just how much they value their own life against the betterness of society. You chose an interesting part of that story here, as the man gets contaminated and that ultimate question just comes up: where do I go from here? Always something fun to tackle, I would imagine. I actually would have liked a little bit more on that, focusing more on him struggling with just after being bitten, and maybe him looking at that picture of his earlier just to kind of build sympathy for the character.
  
  This looks pretty good, don't mind the black and white, but the sound could have been cleaned up a bit. The ambiance sounded fuzzy.
  
  Nice work, keep it up! read
