Silent Hill

Rating: 1/10 (7 May 2006)

This film really was an awful attempt at transforming a computer game into a film. Firstly the acting was at times laughable - Sean Bean can't do an American accent, the little girl was clearly told to try an copy a similar role to that of most small children in current horror films, and instead of coming across as scary and weird - just looked ridiculous! The soundtrack also was timed in poorly, and wasn't suitable for this style of film. Lastly why the hell were the towns people talking like they were from the 1800's when they had been in this town for 30 years - surely they would be from the 70's????? and not talking in stupid riddles as well as using words such as "thou" or "thoust shall not". In the screening I watched 12 people left at different stages of the film which clearly shows how much this film stinks.
