Not good at all.

Rating: 3/10 (26 April 2006)

What can I say about this movie? Well, simply put, it wasn't good at all. Sure, it started out with a lot of potential but that quickly disappeared after watching the mother run around like a confused and stupid deer for over an hour. Then came the story line, unraveling itself through predictability. After this, there really wasn't much to expect aside from the poorly created ending. Further adding to the over-all poor quality of the movie was the completely unnecessary side-story with the father.
Now as far as the characters. Their personalities and reactions were completely unnatural and forced. The mother, again the center of stupidity, kept switching emotions much like a bi-polar sociopath. One moment she was panicking and screaming for help, the next moment she was the heroic figure of guidance. This, along with her purposely running into every possible danger, made her one of the dumbest characters in a horror movie.
Lastly, what upset me was the following IMDb fact: Contrary to popular belief, Silent Hill hardly uses any computer generated imagery. The most notable use of CGI is the fog that drenches the town. Most creatures are live actors covered in latex and makeup.
This was for the most part, wrong. Over half the movie was littered with CGI.
I will say that there was some interesting imagery, and the first hour or so was suspenseful and creepy. However, it quickly withered away to a boring and dumb horror flick.
