Visually stunning shocker!

Rating: 9/10 (22 July 2007)

30 years ago, a mysterious disaster has destroyed the once peaceful and glamorous town of Silent Hill. A young girl named Sharon has been sleep walking and babbling about the town of Silent Hill, her mother (Radha Mitchell) takes her there only to wake up from an accident. She looks for her daughter in the lonely and deserted ghost town of Silent Hill where evil spirits, raving villagers and strange creatures inhabit the place waiting to kill Sharon.
Spectacular and riveting supernatural horror shocker thriller that faithfully adapts the video game to the big screen in a very impressive way thanks to a screenplay by Pulp Fiction writer Roger Avery and French director Christopher Gans (director of "Brotherhood of the Wolf"). The plot line maybe confusing for some viewers but this movie is a gruesome feast for the eyes with dark nightmarish atmosphere, sharp editing and creepy as hell creature designs, this is a movie in the tradition of H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, Clive Barker, Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci. The film co-stars LOTR's Sean Bean, this outstanding and disturbing shocker is one movie that does justice to the games right so i give kudos for Christopher Gans and Avery for bringing the game to life.
Can't wait for the sequel!!!
