Life's Greatest Disappointments

Rating: 3/10 (24 April 2006)

I saw Silent Hill on Friday when it opened expecting a thrill. I was greatly disappointed. For me a horror movie is supposed to horrify me! Silent Hill was just another gore fest. When I see a scary movie I want it to be fast paced, start off with a bang and have me on the edge of my sit ready to jump the whole time. Silent Hill was very slow moving for me. It tried to pack too much of a story (and not a really interesting one at that) in it, if I wanted a good story I would have went to another movie, what I wanted was a scare! Also, for a horror movie it was much too long. I did find out after I saw the movie that it was based on a video game & I could see it making an interesting game to play, but as a movie I was disappointed. Overall, I would say see it if you want to see it, you might like it, just personally it wasn't my thing.
