Written and directed by Mitch McLeod, Silhouette stars April Hartman, Tom Zembrod, Jessica Dawn Willis, and Savannah Solsbery. It tells the story of a couple dealing with marital problems after the death of their young daughter. They move to the country, hoping for a fresh start, but are haunted by the sins of the past. The film is moody and atmospheric, a slow burn, building tension and suspense. April Hartman is quite good here, as the troubled wife and grieving mother, slowly unravelling. I liked the way the film's score helped to enhance the mood and add to the suspense. I think Mitch McLeod did an effective job in writing and directing the film and making the most out of a limited budget. If you are a fan of intelligent, well crafted independent horror films, then check out Silhouette. My rating is an 8/10.
