Left Me In The Dark..

Rating: 1/10 (22 April 2006)

Silent Hill was very much THE WORST movie I have EVER seen.
I felt that the special effects were some of the best I ever seen, but all the money was spent on that, and not on quality acting lessons.
In the movie, roughly every 20 seconds the main character played by Rhada Mitchell screams out for her lost daughter, Sharon. After hearing this for the first 30 minutes, I was not willing to hear it for the next 90. However, I did sit through the movie, in complete agony, waiting for some scare, thrill, or some REAL drama to happen.
Instead what I got was some sad half way attempt to describe that the fate of Silent Hill is coming to a head, and the whole town is religious and loves to "burn at the stake" anyone who is not like them, and holds their faith high.
By the end of the movie, I was thoroughly unimpressed with anything outside the special effects. The changing of the darkness coming and the demons coming out was a little confusing as to why it was happening, but still was neat visually. I still don't understand the ending of the movie as it seems to me, there is an alternate dimension in which everyone, except the character Chris lives in.
Save yourself the $10 and wait for video.
