Honestly? They wasted Silent Hill? Don't they want to make money?

Rating: 1/10 (24 April 2006)

I swear, one more movie with a child drawing scary pictures, and I'm going to move to Hollywood and start pelting writers/producers/directors with month-old, rotting diapers. How do films like this get approved? I mean, I know, the film is going to make money. That's a given. But honestly, it can't cost more money to make a 'good' film - aka, a film that would stand up to cinematic criticism and sell tickets (not to mention secure the franchise for at least 2-3 more films).
Give me half the budget these guys had, and I'll walk through a film school on any given day and assemble a crew of students who could create a film that succeeds in making money, and at the very least, compelling people to see the movie a second time or recommend it to their friends.
This film has guaranteed that the studio will see mediocre returns on any sequels they spit out because they didn't take any chances. Pathetic. Just plain pathetic.
