What a....

Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2006)

Great movie. I mean this is just such a great movie. Wow. One thing I have to say is that the trailer deceives a little bit. There was this one couple after the movie that said this was "horrible, nothing like the trailer." That's not true, it's twisted, sick, and horrifying. The trailer doesn't show that there are other people living in the town and that they are an essential part of the plot and movie. The movie has great sounds, great special effects. It's twisted... and although throughout the movie there isn't much gore...during the climax of the movie, there so much, almost too much, not Hostel type gore, but the gore that tends to build up tension. The pyramid is really cool to see in this movie. There were a lot of people that didn't get the movie, I did, even though a briefly played it. Just pay attention, especially during the flashbacks because the story unravels pretty fast. The action is great and the movie is filled with atmosphere. I do have to say though, the dialog did get a little thin in some places when Rose said it was going to be OK but there were all these horrible things going on right in front of her and her daughter. I found that was kind of funny. The acting was surprisingly good. The actors help built up tension. The movie also established a great sense of claustrophobia. The ending is quite a surprise if you aren't familiar with the game, which I'm Not. *Spoilers* Some people as well as me, did not get the ending. They manage to get away from the evils of silent hill (Rose and Sharon) and once they are out everything's still foggy. They get to their house and it's all drenched in fog. Then it flashes to her husband and it's all bright. They still weren't in their "reality", they were still in the silent hill world. The husband felt her presence and looked to where Sharon was sitting in her world. He felt her there, but he couldn't see, her went to close the door because it had been opened by the "wind". Then the shot is outside the house and some sad music plays. Kind of Depressing. All in all this was a terrific movie. I highly recommend it and can't wait for a sequel.
