How to survive in Silent Hill:
Please keep your hands and feet close to your body, there will be sharp edges and occasional monsters.
Make sure you got your imagination with you ,an open mind will also work. If you have neither, dizziness and confusion may occur.
Forget everything you know about our world ,cuz hell is waiting...
A mother is extremely worried about her daughter, whose unknown disease causes her to sleepwalk and have nightmares. Despite her husbands effort to prevent her from going, Rose Da Silva travels to the ghost town of Silent Hill, as Sharon (her daughter) mentions it in a sleepwalking incident. But when she narrowly avoids a shadowy figure on the road and crashes her car, losing track of Sharon, she begins to explore this unknown place. But Rose has unknowingly entered a plane trapped between heaven and hell, a place filled with death and horror. Soon she will meet the forces that lives there...
With competent actors (especially little Jodelle Ferland, she really impressed me), a good director, and all the hellish landscapes of Silent Hill to choose from, this movie is quite an accomplishment's in the world of video game-movies. If Lewis Caroll ever came back as a zombie, this is what he would make! . There are some bland moments, (in some scenes I just wanted another monster to jump out and start tearing people apart), but since the movie is 2 hours long, there are more demons than dullness. And just as much drama, the plot is excellent (a bit far-fetched and provocative for some, though)! Welcome to Silent Hill, and prepare for a trip you will never forget....
