Artistic? Perhaps; if you're seven years of age and create with potato paints.

Rating: 1/10 (10 May 2006)

Lamentably one of the worst films I have ever seen. Anyone who describes it as anything but "poor" or "ridiculous" obviously needs help. The plot stems from a series of "Why on earth would you do that?" flaws and the ending makes "Hellraiser" look evocative. The only scene of remote interest is the beginning, and even the use of primordial child screams seem clichÃ©d. "Silent Hill" tries too hard to inspire a reaction in an audience who are essentially there for a quick scare.
If you want to suggest this film as "arty" perhaps you need to redefine the word, this film does little to interest the audience and it felt like no time had actually elapsed between scenes.
The only remotely "scary" part of this film was releasing that you had sat down that long watching such an abhorring film. Definitely not one for anyone with a shred of intelligence.
