I'm sorry if you wasted 127 minutes of your life.

Rating: 2/10 (22 April 2006)

I'm sorry, perhaps everyone who has commented so far saw a different movie then the one I wasted eight dollars on. I contemplated following in the footsteps of the ten or so people I saw walk out of the theater. Here's why you shouldn't waste your time and money.
First I'd like to start off with a comment about the acting in this film, which was both wretched and sad. I did not once believe the emotion that any of the actors attempted to convey, especially the female police officer. The only actor I'll give credibility to was Sean Bean, because he had one of the smaller roles in the film and he is all around a good actor.
Aside from the incredibly sub-par acting, the story line (oh, the storyline) was the same old regurgitated nonsense that I've seen in every ghost movie since The Ring. Not only was the storyline unoriginal and mind numbingly dull but there were incredibly large plot holes. I got so flustered with the pitiful attempt at a plot and the major lack or suspense and "scare factor that I stopped caring entirely.
Ooo I enjoyed this little excerpt I found in the trivia section of the IMDb page for this disaster of a movie. Contrary to popular belief, Silent Hill hardly uses any computer generated imagery. The most notable use of CGI is the fog that drenches the town. Most creatures are live actors covered in latex and makeup.
And on this matter I am speechless because there are scenes in this movie that including burning child like creatures, a 12 foot pyramid head pulling the skin off of a woman in one clean motion, holes in the floor that appear to lead to a "hell" like place, bottomless canyons that stop the characters from escaping the town and (my favorite) and endless amount of barbed wire that whirs through the air in the ends maiming and killing people in the end.
This is not movie trivia....this is called a lie.
In conclusion please don't waste your time on a movie that attempts to scare you and be creepy because it'll just end up disappointing you and possibly ruining your night, as it did mine. Everyone in a movie theater should not laugh during a serious scene because the acting and screen writing is so pathetic as everyone did when I saw this film. I don't care if all you gamers out there that think this was a great Game crossover film get upset with this comment because you shouldn't be focusing your efforts on getting mad, you should focus your efforts on why you liked such a pathetic and feeble attempt at a film.
This is not a movie that makes you think, this is not a movie for the hardcore horror fans, this is a film for the simple minded sheep that pack themselves into the theater to see whatever trash floats in every week. I'm sorry if you found this film any good, I really am. Maybe someday you'll grow up.
