Worth the watch if you're gonna go out

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2006)

First off I'm giving it a 10, because the average score is a little too low. This movie should at least be in the passing grade, 70%.
What's great about this movie: 1. No stupid pop around the corner trick. Seriously, it is over-used in too many movies, and doesn't really qualify as scary, since it's just a cheap trick with blasting sound. I know there's morons out there who based the entire review on that part, and they shouldn't be allowed to share their opinions. It's equivalent as to a baboon scratching his ass. 2. The use of camera angles and soundtrack are impressive. The music really sets the mood, and not to mention they are the best scary movie tracks I have ever heard. 3. Interesting plot, i'm sure not many people would figure out that the main characters actually died in the beginning of the movie. The exact point would be crashing the SUV, and as for the cop, crashing the bike into the guard rail. It's been a while since I've seen a movie that makes people think, reason behind that is that most people don't enjoy using their brains anymore. 4. Creativity, every time that siren rings, evil is approaching. The town suddenly rots and becomes darkened. And the only safezone is the church, making it into an interesting game-like situation.
What's bad about this movie: 1. The cop gets beaten to death by crowbars, but didn't die. She should have been dead, but... everyone was dead to begin with already. 2. Endng will leave you mystified, you'll be left wondering what the hell. Doesn't offer any closure. From the looks of it. They are forever stuck in purgatory, and I don't think the main character knows that she died. 3. The script lines near the end of the movie was kind of stupid. The heroine comes barging into the church and makes a pointless argument against the evil cult's faith. Anyone that are familiar with religious people would know why. 4. The main character's motivation to save her daughter is not believable given under the circumstances. She's weak, scared to death, and stupid. I don't see what's moving her forward. The entire town is filled with evil creatures and scary as hell corridors. Makes no sense that she stills continue to search. 5. The main character deserved to die since it was her fault that they ended up in Silent Hill. What kind of moronic person would go to a pyro hazardous town knowing that part. Also, trying to ditch a cop in a race through a dark curvy path with a SUV is completely retarded. Is it really worth the risk just to visit a stupid town? Of course not!
Conclusion: Just watch it if you have the time.
