Silent House is an American remake of a spanish film released in 2011. If you're looking to watch something that will give you chills but is not filled with gore, then this might be a good option.

The tricky camera moves that fill up Silent House make for one-half of a nerveracking horror film – before the movie's obviousness just gets on your nerves. Full Review
