"We Are Wandering Far From Refuge, Here!"... "Look At Me! I'm Burning!"...

Rating: 9/10 (22 October 2019)

Mother, Rose Da Silva (Radha Mitchell) takes her daughter, Sharon (Jodelle Ferland) to a ghost town called SILENT HILL, in order to discover why Sharon keeps dreaming about it. Once there, Sharon disappears, and Rose is drawn into a desperate nightmare that she may not be able to escape. Joined by a concerned motorcycle cop (Laurie Holden), the two women must fight to survive in this blighted netherworld, while searching for Sharon, and trying to find a way back out. Dreamlike from its opening scene, this is a nightmare caught on film. Ms. Mitchell is absolutely convincing in her role, driven by love to endure any and every horror unleashed upon her. Wicked, gruesome, and truly terrifying, SILENT HILL is also a visual feast for fans of dread and doom! Each new, macabre sequence seems to outdo the last! The monsters in this movie are innovative and unique. From the multitude of ghoulish creepers to those damned, twitchy nurses, these are some scary, unforgettable spooks! Co-stars the magnificent Alice Krige as the twisted Christabella, and Sean Bean as Rose's beleaguered husband, Christopher. Whether one has played the game on which this movie is based or not, this is a solid tale of terror. Oh, and the music is great too!...
