Boring Hill

Rating: 3/10 (16 July 2017)

This is the story of a little girl who sleepwalks and in her dreams mumbles «Silent Hill, Silent Hill». This is the catalyst for the movie's direction, and so off drive mom and daughter, leaving behind dad for unclear reasons due to an even more befuddling family relationship. At the beginning of their journey, they are stopped on the motorway by a police woman, for reasons unknown, propelling mom to risk their lives by crashing through a gate on the abandoned road leading to the ghost town of «Silent Hill». When she wakes up in her car, the daughter is gone and so for the next two hours she tracks the little girl (at least we think it is the little girl who keeps running away from her for reasons unknown) calling her name, but to no avail. She is then subject to creatures who attack her from all angels every time an alarm sounds, similar to «The Time Machine» from 1960, with about as much menace.
Radha Mitchell does a good job as the mother and is alluring, but there are no relationships for her to play off of, and in the end I didn't really care about anyone in the film. Even the mother daughter bond is a bagatelle. Perhaps the movie was satisfactory for someone into the video game, or video games in general, but for me, it was void of anything except boredom. I would have given it a rating of one, but because of Radha Mitchell and some interesting creatures, I give it a three. In conclusion, it was one of the worst and most boring movies I have ever seen.
