	Media	Author	Review
		Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"It will make you jump, to be sure, and your heart to beat a little bit faster. But what's truly scariest about it takes place not in the body, but in the mind (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"'Paranormal Activity' has been here before, of course, but Silent House springs tangy new tricks, and Olsen is a primo scream queen (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"
		Rob Nelson Variety	"The pic's true star is Martinovic's unblinking camera, which really ought to have been let loose in some other house"
