Best Movie PERIOD

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2006)

Okay, so some have said this is the best video game adaption made to date, but I'm going to go one step further, and say this is the best movie to date. The movie wasn't another pointless "let's just shoot everything in sight throughout the whole movie" type of thing. This actually had substance. In fact, the main character doesn't even wield a gun throughout the whole movie. If you're looking for an action, this might not be your movie. Perhaps you should try one of the other mindless movies. Silent Hill was a bit odd in some parts. There are about two scenes where it seems like something pointless is thrown into the movie. I mean they're like two second things and don't waste time, but still make you go.... okay....... The rest of the movie however is brilliant. It is shockingly eerie, and scary in a strange sort of way. It's not a jump horror film. There aren't creatures that just jump out at random times to scare you. Instead the movie is like a bad dream. The effects and visuals of the movie are so realistic you may have to remind yourself you are in a theater. I think there could have been a tad bit more monster appearances, but the ones they did throw in satisfied me equally. I now have a new favorite movie.
