IFC Midnight Releases Trailer, Poster for ‘La Casa Muda’
Opening in extremely limited theaters May 6 from IFC Midnight is Gustavo Hernandez’s kinda ok La Casa Muda (The Silent House), which fails to deliver in the finale.
Still a fun flick, inside you’ll find the official trailer and poster, with VOD dates forthcoming. A U.S. remake has already been filmed (Directed by Chris Kentis, and starring Elizabeth Olsen), and is awaiting a release.
“Based on a true events occuring in the late 40’s in a small village in Uruguay, ‘La Casa Muda’ is groundbreaking horror filmed in one single continuous shot of seventy eight minutes. The film centers on Laura, who, second by second, intends to leave a house which hides an obscure secret, unharmed. Laura and her father Wilson settle down in a cottage they have to renew since its owner will soon put the house up for sale. They will spend the night there and repair the following morning. Everything seems to go smoothly until Laura hears a sound that comes from outside and gets louder and louder on the upper floor of the house.”
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
