What Sin City and Batman Begins did for comic fans, Silent Hill does for Gamers.

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2006)

Wow. Just Wow.
First off, let me say how impressed I was with the cinematography and music behind this flick. I knew from the trailer this was not going to be another video game movie'. The story is simple. The protagonist, Rose takes her daughter to a town in West Virginia that she continues to see her in dreams. A town called Silent Hill. A swift departure from such 'movies' as Stay Alive or even The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Silent Hill takes the viewer to the very heart of Hell.
Surrounded by darkness and beings plucked straight out of nightmares, this film is unlike any other horror flick. It does not rely on "BOO!" or gore gags to grab your attention. There is a little gore; however, the few scenes involving such things give you quite the shock and unease. The Acting is not Oscar quality, but still note worthy. Especially Jodelle Ferland's duel role as both victim and tormentor.
I am not going to give any of the plot away, but if you've ever taken a sociology class, you'll notice a lot of other things going on in the back.
Overall:
B+
Hey, scared me.
