The Silent Thief is the debut feature film by Jennifer Clary.
Brennan Marley (Toby Hemmingway) is an adolescent grifter who earns the trust and love of a suburban family after moving into their home while their eldest son, Mike (Cody Longo), is away at college. But, when Mike finally returns home, he’s the only one to suspect that the stranger living in his house is up to no good.
The film also stars Frances Fisher (Titanic) and Kurt Fuller (Midnight in Paris) as Mike’s parents and Scout Taylor-Compton (the Halloween remake and Halloween II) as his sister, all of whom are seduced by Brennan’s devious charms.
Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film previously reviewed Clary’s short film Dirty Girl way back in 2007, calling it an “extremely powerful film.”

For their 5th annual event, which is set to run Sept. 8-11, the Sydney Underground Film Festival is looking a little more demented than ever. And that’s saying a lot for this scrappy, still relatively young fest, which typically offers ample twisted cinematic offerings.
The fun kicks off with the Opening Night film, the demented superhero comedy Super, written and directed by former Troma go-to screenwriter James Gunn (Tromeo & Juliet); then ends with the Closing Night wallowing in Sydney’s seedy underbelly, X, by homegrown filmmaker Jon Hewitt.
Crammed between these two excursions into violence and depravity is a lineup filled with perverse visions, scandalous public figures, sickening horror, experimental pop culture remixes and more.
For Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film, the highlight of the fest is Usama Alshaibi‘s Profane, a complex psychological, psychosexual, spiritual morality play about a Muslim sex worker who endures a “reverse...

One of the two boys who tease with Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in Black Swan is starring in the indie drama/thriller The Silent Thief. His name is Toby Hemingway.
Scout Taylor Compton and Cody Longo were also attached and Josh Pence, who’s currently shooting The Dark Knight Rises, is in negotiations as one of the leads, while Modern Family topliner Reid Ewing is set to make a cameo.
The Silent Thief is a scary story of Brennan Marley, an outsider who pressures to destroy a family’s unity by steadily displacing their absent son, Mike Henderson. Starving for acceptance and exceptionally sly, Brennan rents a room from the Henderson family under false fronts. He uses his conciliatory skills to ingratiate himself with each particular family member before Mike returns from college. As Brennan’s tactic becomes progressively destructive, psyches and driven to the breaking point and violence results.
