I expected so much...

Rating: 3/10 (30 May 2006)

I really expected a horrifying experience, when i went to the cinema with my girlfriend and a friend. I had read numerous German reviews that stated the film was great and one of the best game-flicks ever done. Most of the American reviews i read were not that good, not to say awful. But i believed in the philosophical and rather differentiated (does this word exist in English) critics on the film (i shouldn't have). After ten or fifteen minutes of Silent Hill i realized i was terribly wrong. All of the actors including Sean Bean were rather terrible, i didn't feel lonely at all and the plot lacked thrilling moments (I think they weren't in the movie at all). I think the movie had potential, but every little bit of quality was destroyed by the really stupid ending, were we get to know why the town became a "nightmare"...
