An abnormal psych expert played by Jared Harris has been “studying” a young woman whose psychoses could be demonic possession, or could be a scientifically explainable telekinetic disturbance that can be ejected from the woman and trapped in another vessel. “Cure one and you cure the world,” the utopian prof promises.

A film called The Quiet Ones that starts with a young patient being kept awake by blasting Slade’s ‘70s anthem ‘Cum On Feel The Noize’ into her room? It’s a welcome shot of black humour – and glam rock - suggesting Hammer Films’ new entry in its resurrected horror slate might buzz with a little more wit and originality than your average scary movie.
Unfortunately that feeling lasts little longer than a Slade single and all too quickly we’re back in a depressingly familiar groove. If Hammer’s previous spectral story, The Woman in Black, was a worldwide chart-topper, this lackluster follow-up is unlikely to bother the box-office hit parade.
Using the convenient ‘Based on Actual Events’ alibi to strengthen its credentials, The Quiet Ones repurposes 1972’s ‘Philip Experiment’ in Toronto, Canada, in which academic researchers tried to “create” a ghost and so prove such spirits aren’t actually from a spiritual realm but in fact constructed by the human psyche (2012’s The Apparition dabbled in the same premise).
So here our patient, teenager Jane Harper (Olivia Cooke from TV’s Bates Motel), a mentally disturbed orphan, is supposedly possessed by a malevolent spirit named Evey. Maverick Oxford University psychology professor Joseph Coupland (Mad Men’s Jared Harris) is determined to prove that Jane’s affliction is literally all in her head by harnessing and “harvesting” this negative mental energy – like removing a cancer sufferer’s tumour. “Cure one patient,” he boasts, “you cure all mankind.”
A mish-mash of familiar horror ideas that - unlike the story’s malevolent spirit - never really gets inside its characters or audience and pales beside recent supernatural rivals. Even if Hammer Films eventually returns to its former gruesome glories, The Quiet Ones gives them little to shout about.
Apr 25, 2014 · The Quiet Ones: Directed by John Pogue. With Jared Harris, Sam Claflin, Erin Richards, Rory Fleck Byrne. A university professor and a team of students conduct an experiment on a young woman, uncovering terrifyingly dark, unexpected forces in the process.
