A waste of time and money

Rating: 1/10 (23 April 2006)

Having never played the 'Silent Hill' games I am unable to comment on the accuracy of the adaptation skills regarding this movie. So to look at it from a pure film point of view I am sorry to say it was terrible. The premise although ridiculous did hold promise for some scares at least. Sadly this was not the case, the film lacks, visual style, scares or even shocking gore. Over long and complicated, the only saving grace are the two lead characters, who at least manage to create a strong female presence often lacking in this type of genre film. The plot meanders along, losing momentum at crucial points and skipping over more interesting scenes. This is a pure exercise in money making, please don't waste your time on such drivel. If you hold a small interest at all, wait until it arrives on DVD, and even then, don't say I didn't warn you.
