Gar Conn I'm mostly impressed at what they did for $200,000, It's a very good film with a range of emotions. A creepy love story with enough scares to keep you engaged. Different enough to be worth your viewing time. Also, the dialogue was spoken strong enough, so I didn't need to use subtitles. I've seen too many movies forget about that.

adonis98-743-186503 The Quiet Ones is not something new or something that you never seen before and the ending proves that. But the 2 main characters make it interesting the acting isn't something special and the movie is boring for some minutes and the direction is also pretty meh. It's unoriginal and pretty horrible in terms of quality but it's a fun horror film and it even turns into a love story some time. Most of you won't enjoy it since it's something that you have seen like 50 times per year but if you're bored and you are looking for a dumb fun this one is pretty fun and at least better than most horror films that come everyday. I give it an 8.

mhewitt0728 The movie was better than some Indie horror flicks I've seen. But, the director/editor used a gimmick that a lot of horror films use: sudden, LOUD noise to shock the audience. So, it wasn't so much the actual movie that was scary, it was the super quiet scene interrupted by a sudden, startling noise right as something was happening that had me jumping out of my seat. It got to be quite obnoxious. Well-made horror films may use this technique once or twice in their content (or maybe not), but this film used it way too much. Also, the sound level itself is erratic. So if you watch this on DVD, expect to have to constantly have to adjust the sound or risk missing a line or blowing out your ear drums. There is one part where something manifests from the experimental subject's mouth that seemed too sophomoric and "sci-fi" to be based on fact(as is touted in the beginning credits). But the photos of the actual people at the end of the movie had me believing and checking online for the real story.

TdSmth5 In 1974, an English college professor recruits a cameraman to film his session treating a girl with some mental issue. We learn that the professor, Harris, has done this before with some kid, but he "didn't have enough time" and the kid killed himself. He's also very scientific and rejects the paranormal and religion. Part of his team are a guy who handles the equipment, electromagnetic field readers and the like, and a girl to support the patient and to offer medical assistance when needed. He also works under the assumption that if he can heal the patient, he'll heal all of mankind. So he's very eager to take this to its ultimate consequences.Brian, the cameraguy meets the patient, Jane. They keep her looked up in a room. They warn him not to look at her or talk to her. He does of course and she somehow knows his name and talks in a creepy voice. Occasionally she manages to make things happen outside the room.The therapy is rather brutal, it consists of sleep deprivation, and in general make her situation miserable. Supposedly so that she'll participate in her therapy. Her problem is that she's created some alter ego named Eavy. In the sessions Harris demands that Jane make Eavy appear so that she'll manifest herself, or talk to them.And sure enough things start happening. Jane ends up with a strange burn mark, a doll catches flames, etc. Eventually the team has to move to the country side for more privacy. There Brian discovers some surprises about the dr. and his team. Overall, Brain seems to fall for Jane. He does recognize that she's basically being tortured but Jane sometimes states she wants to help the dr. at other times she begs him to help her get out.When things get too much for Brian he leaves to do research. He finds out what the strange burn mark is all about. And he discovers what Eavy is all about. He returns to the house with this information. He theorizes Jane is possessed which the dr. of course rejects. In the last 30 minutes or so things unravel with a couple of surprises.The Quiet Ones is a decent possession/seance movie. I can't say I've seen all of the "possession of so-and-so" / "haunting in somewhere" movies, but a lot of them are rather weak. This one did work for me. Yes, it's slower as it takes place in the 70s, before "fast" became a way to be. So the movie isn't made with jarring editing, wild CGI effects. On the contrary. A lot we see from the perspective of Brian's giant shoulder-held camera. So fortunately the image is good and it's not dizzying.The movie keeps things intriguing since it's not clear which way things are going to go. Is Jane crazy? Is she smart and manipulative? Is she possessed? Is she just troubled and abused? My main reason for seeing this movie was the lovely Olivia Cooke who plays Jane. Granted, in this movie she doesn't get to look her best. Still, this movie is no worse than others of its kind, rather I found it more enjoyable and less gimmicky.
