An excellent ride for the eyes and the mind.

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2007)

Silent Hill is a brilliant movie which weaves a tapestry for the imagination, with disturbing images and a vicious plot line. It takes you on the incredible journey of one little girl's nightmare turned one family's conjoined nightmare. It has a disgusting realism which sends chills down your spines, and yet it has a big enough streak of Hollywood glamour and unrealistic horror to keep one interested. It is an incredible story with a deep moral and a tragic beginning and end. It makes you realize the evil in the world, but also that there still is hope. It reveals the treachery of human nature in every sense possible and distinguishable, as well as reveals the determination and will of some characters to help and change the world for the better. It makes evident the judgemental character of some people, as well as how afraid some people are of things that are unfamiliar to them, and things that they cannot yet control. It introduces a sickening look into the paranoia and hysteria of some groups today, and the harmful effects that it can have on society as a whole. The ending is unexpected and leaves on guessing, and I'm hoping (and I know I'm not alone) that the sequel has nothing to do with the ending of the first movie, simply because that is how the games are played.
