Elisha Cuthbert

Elisha Cuthbert and Joel Silver on House of Wax and 24

Elisha Cuthbert: 'And here I am playing a seventeen-year-old. Not just physically, but mentally getting into that place. It was really difficult. And I don't know if I could ever do it again.'

A seriously guilty pleasure aimed squarely at teen boys and sexual Peter Pans.

A roughhouse between the Hayes's dingbatty script...and director Sera's winking and surprisingly skillful treatment of it...ultimately disappointing.

Meanders at times, and stretches credibility...[but] The Quiet's creepy character study reaches an emotionally satisfying conclusion.
