The storyline follows Oxford professor Joseph Coupland with a team of students conduct an experiment on Jane Harper. Jane, a young woman with no memory of the past and repeatedly abandoned by foster families, believes herself possessed by a doll named Evey that gives her telekinetic power. The experiment uncovers a terrifyingly dark secret and unexpected forces in the process.
Principle photography was completed in Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire in the UK. Filming took place at Merton College and the Bodleian Library in Oxford.
When The Quiet Ones was released it received negative reviews from the critics. On Rotten Tomatoes it holds a 37% rating with the consensus “While it definitely sports a few palpable scares, The Quiet Ones finds Hammer Films trading too heavily on past glories”.
