Silent Hill

The eerie and deserted ghost town of Silent Hill draws a young mother desperate to find a cure for her only child’s illness. Unable to accept the doctor’s diagnosis that her daughter should be permanently institutionalized for psychiatric care, Rose flees with her child, heading for the abandoned town in search of answers–and ignoring the protests of her husband. It’s soon clear this place is unlike anywhere she’s ever been. It’s smothered by fog, inhabited by a variety of strange beings and periodically overcome by a living ‘darkness’ that literally transforms everything it touches. As Rose searches for her little girl, she begins to learn the history of the strange town and realizes that her daughter is just a pawn in a larger game.

Perfect Chills and Thrill!

Silent Hill is one of the best horror and thriller movies. Personally I’m not usually scared and thrilled by any horror movies but Silent Hill made me chilled. It seems many people had been expecting a lot about this movie from Silent Hill game and got a lot of disappointment by comparing between the movie and game. But me had never had a chance to play Silent Hill game felt it’s pretty nice and a must-watch movie if you are a fan of thriller movies.

Its gripping, suspenseful, and keeps you guessing and wanting more.

There are many things left unanswered and ambiguous which is good and the blind (and deaf) faith of the cult is terrifying and believable. Especially the climax of the film is gruesome and wonderful. It feels very Silent Hill and the ending is very interesting (personally I really like the ending).

You will see Silent Hill.

The darkness is spot on! It felt 100% Silent Hill with nice combination of live-action, CG and speed changes. The sequence with the grey children at the start is superb!

Great performance with fear

People have complained about Tanya Allen’s performance but I think she is great. Laurie and Radha were good together, bringing an interesting emotionality to the world. It was also good that the lighting and make-up were not used to hide all of the wrinkles and flaws in the actor’s faces.

Interesting visual effects, plentiful gore and shock value.

Someone says “Good movie if you know the games, Bad movie if you don’t”. I haven’t tried playing the game, but it’s a good movie for me and also you will like it. There are some parts could have been better, but it’s common issues that all great movies also have. I enjoyed this film a lot and strongly recommend to you!!
