Very Well Done Horror Film

Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2006)

I got tired of the video game due to the lack of vision in the game, and the movie kept that lack of vision in, but because I wasn't playing it, it was fine. It took away from the game, but added to the movie. a lot of people complain about the pacing, the length, and how there is no twist. Well, does every movie need a twist now? This isn't an M. Night film. It's just a straight through horror film that doesn't use a lot of LOUD NOISES to make you "Scared" which is really just false horror, since you get scared at the noise so you assume it's a good scary movie. Roger Avery is a great screenwriter and has proved this time and time again, and has not let us down with SILENT HILL. It will definitely confuse a few people, which when people get confused, they get mad, and when they get mad they give things bad reviews...but even if you don't get the ending, pretend it doesn't have one and focus on the earlier stuff. I think because it is such a well done horror film in the midst of such GARBAGE horror films (slither, stay alive, etc) it will be over looked, which is a shame.
