It reminded me of 'The Ring' meets 'Hellbound: Hellraiser II'

Rating: 4/10 (21 April 2006)

In 'Silent Hill' Jodelle Ferland plays Sharon DaSilva, the troubled adopted daughter of Rose and Christopher Da Silva (Radha Mitchell and Sean Bean). Sharon sleepwalks and draws strange pictures of what seems to be tortured madness. In order to find a solution to her daughter's problems, Rose decides to take her to Silent Hill. A quarantined town due to uncontrollable coal fires that are underground. For some reason Sharon often refers to the town during her sleep walking episodes.
Based upon the computer game of the same name, I cannot say that I liked this movie. It reminded me of 'The Ring' meets 'Hellbound: Hellraiser II'. There is a lot in the film that is unexplained; several other things that do not make sense. I am a little disappointed to see Sean Bean in this movie; it seems to be beneath him.
However, I am told that the movie does follow the video game to the letter (right down to the same music). I do believe fans of the computer games will enjoy and be able to follow the movie better than most.
