Terrible

Rating: 1/10 (22 April 2006)

I'm not going to try to be witty or use more words than necessary in my review of Silent Hill, because I simply don't feel it deserves more than the bare minimum, as that's all it gave. However, I will say I was never a fan of the game.
The acting is terrible. The best performance was given by a ten-year old, and I would only go as far as to call it below mediocre. ("Tell me! Where do I find the demon?")
It's also far too long. 2 hours plus is ridiculous given that it's a horror movie.
What little CGI the movie had blew. Many parts looked far beyond fake, which brings me to my next point. It was not scary. Not in the slightest. Every time the movie gears you up, it only lets you down.
The plot makes little sense. (Again, I state that I personally am not a fan of the game, and know little of the Silent Hill storyline.) The pacing of the movie was also off. Too much time was spent on boring, barely important parts. On the flip-side of the coin, if you blink at the wrong time in parts, you'll miss crucial plot information.
Don't watch this movie. Don't ever rent this movie. If you're slightly interested in the movie save yourself $10 and 2 hours by gouging your face with a screwdriver.
