Jane fiatal, zaklatott lány, akit megszálltak a sötétség erői. Az oxfordi egyetem különc professzora sajátos módszerrel próbálja megszabadítani tőlük, a negatív energiájából manifesztálni akarja a szellemet, hogy azután elűzhesse. A London melletti félreeső birtokon végzett kísérleteibe Coupland professzor néhány tanítványát is bevonja. Ennek során a zseniális oktató és az ambiciózus hallgatók rájönnek, hogy olyan erőt szabadítottak el, amely minden képzeletüket felülmúlja, és az életüket fenyegeti. (A Company Hungary)

Hammer has resurrected, but taking into account the quality of their new stuff, I wonder if it shouldn’t have remained buried. With the exception of Woman in Black (which, given the director it had available, was actually below expectations), the only films they’ve delivered so far are average and pointless, which is exactly the case of The Quiet Ones. It has a fairly nice set design and style and the director does try to build an atmosphere, but despite all those efforts, it just didn’t make it for me, it was terribly boring. Really, I can’t remember when was the last time that I felt so incredibly bored with a horror film (that didn’t have zero ambitions). And this is not a movie where nothing happens, here “something” is happening all the time, the problem is how blandly it’s delivered: monotonous, unobtrusive, without any rhythm or escalation. And with a very worn out premise and uninteresting characters, to boot, which I don’t care a priori, provided the filmmakers can compensate it with something. But here there’s nothing, just an annoying blend of a classic film with period “found footage” images. An awful drag.

This horror movie gets off to a promising start. Then time keeps passing, and you realize that there's nothing promising left there anymore and that all expectations have dissolved into something uncomfortably skeletal. The film tries to appear surprising, and different, but in reality, it doesn't have anything interesting in it, just that pretense towards the audience.
