Disturbingingly Awesome!!

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2006)

This movie was really disturbing.... Some people will love it and some will abhor it just for that single reason.... (A wonderful family movie, just kidding~ :p) The atmosphere is what really makes Silent Hill.. well, Silent Hill....
It's a dreamy(and sometimes NOT so dreamy) world very similar to ours, perhaps it is our world from some other mirror dimension where the darkest dreams of the convicted innocents roam free....
It is a world with unanswered questions where the strangest of creatures roam about attracted to light and sound. Where the sound of an air raid in the distance screams that the 'darkness is coming'. And the darkness does come....
Some of the stuff you'll get to see are... strangled by barbed wire janitor in the toilet for molesting little girls, a woman ripped of her skin by some monster with a trigonal head by its bare hands, a child burned alive to 'cleans' sin, a nurse losing her eyes and in servitude for who knows how long for just being curious, and religious fanatics ripped apart by barbed wire from the inside out....
Well this is some of the awesomely gruesome stuff you'll get to see. The design of the monsters are slightly similar to H.R.Giger's style and tastefully imaginative and original. The world of Silent Hill is a reflection of the society that used to be, the janitor, the zombie nurses in the hall way, the school and buildings, all before the so called 'apocalypse' tho in truth it's a bunch of fanatics trapped in the darkest dreams of a child.
I would have to say this movie had some lasting effects. The ending is happily? tragic because Rose survives all but never really gets to go back to the real world(our world), so gets to live happily? with Alessa in the ethereal world of Silent Hill....
