Basically Stupid

Rating: 4/10 (3 May 2006)

This is not a really terrible film, but I'm sure it could have been a lot better and actually made a lot more sense - hopefully there will be a better cut of this film released on DVD.
Visually this movie is excellent, but what the hell is really going on? It is never ever really explained what the hell Silent Hill is, only brief mentions of some underground coal fire in the town, but what, how with all the supernatural stuff? I'd love it if it was much more abstract, this movie wasn't trying to do that, and did an awful job communicating anything. And Its still confusing as hell what how the little girl is really connected to anything - becuz she looked like the daughter of one of the women that wouldn't join the silent hill cult whose own mother was in the weird supernatural stuff going on in the town.
There is just too much going on that is not communicated and its supposed to skit that by being so visually appealing, but it just ends up being a little boring. I love horror movies, I love bad horror movies, so if your one of those types of freaks like me go see this.
