Sex & Nudity: A woman asks a man if he wants her and he is silent; she grabs him angrily and slams him into a wall, commanding, "Take me! She's inside of me!" and reaches for the man's belt and zipper, kisses him, and another man walks in and orders her to stop and she does.
A woman wears a floor-length robe, closed completely in two scenes and opens the front as she sticks out one hose-covered thigh and leg and calls a different man in each scene to come into her bedroom (sex is implied); she leans against an older man in one of these scenes, kisses him, and he tells her to go back to bed, and in the other scene, a younger man kisses her and picks her up, entering her bedroom and they giggle, implying sex until we hear a crash and the man opens the door holding a pillow in front of his crotch (we see his bared chest, shoulders, arms, buttocks and one of her bare shins and feet sticking out of her robe) as he says the bed broke and the woman says she is not sorry it broke.

Story: A university professor and a team of students conduct an experiment on a young woman, uncovering terrifyingly dark, unexpected forces in the process.
Likes : supernatural chiller The Quiet Ones is yet another horror film that prides itself on being inspired by “true events”. The John Pogue-directed haunter recently found a spot on the “Most Anticipated horror” list. The movie bases itself off of a little experiment that a group of scientists conducted back in the 70′s where they set out to create a ghost of their very own with dangerous results.
This is a clear example on thinking you have something under control in a experiment you don't, for anyone that believe in the a paranormal because they've had experience with a haunting or they are paranormal investigation should know the dangers of the paranormal world, some believe that this world is just full of your loved ones & a friendly place when in fact there are much darker force that lie in the shadows.
The this a classic example of that situation thinking they have an experiment under control think that the human mind is producing the ghost when a much darker force is at play they think there dealing with just a normal ghost.
I must admit this is a very disturbing film, with a few jumpy scene, special some of the footage of the boy, that was a little shocking to see, this inst bad, i would say this was scary disturbing but more horrifying disturbing with the things done with he experiment but this is a great horror film to watch.
Jared Harris is well cast as the physics professor slowly declining into madness in a knowing manner very reminiscent of classic Hammer-horror and Sam Claflin builds a lot on his brief performance in Catching Fire, creating a very believable character struggling with his own beliefs as the absolute horror of the experiment becomes increasingly harder to deal with. Olivia Cooke is also very good as Jane, the tortured subject of the experiment, taking a very over-used character (the silent, unblinking possessed girl) and doing something interesting with it, alternating between an almost comatose recluse and a young woman dealing with adolescence and emerging emotions, with a great twist at the end
This is a film i recommend watching or even owning in your DVD collection.
Dislikes : Slightly little slow in place but that about it really
Overall : Disturbing haunting, great casting, disturbing true story
Rating: 4.6 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.3 out of 10 for true story / haunting atmosphere
