Joseph Coupland, trata de explicar que los sucesos paranormales no son más que las manifestaciones externas de los pensamientos de un individuo con trastornos mentales. Tras exponer algunos ejemplos, propone a un grupo de alumnos que le ayuden a liberar a Jane Harper de sus fantasmas y así poderla curar. Jane, con un accidentado pasado de hogares de acogida, notables lagunas de memoria y tendencias suicidas, asegura estar poseída por el espíritu de la muñeca Evie. Coupland está convencido de que si logra erradicar a Evie de la mente de Jane, esta sanará. Pero sus verdaderas intenciones son otras: acabar con Jane para revivir en su cuerpo a Evie.

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 starts quite promisingly. Then it flows and flows and you realize that there is nothing promising about it at all, and that all expectations have dissolved into something unnervingly bony. The film tries to appear surprising, different, but in reality it has nothing interesting, just that facade towards the audience.
