Could have been worse.

Rating: 6/10 (23 April 2006)

I do not like going to the movie theater solely because a lot of movies are not worth it. Every time I go, I have to buy tickets for both myself and my better half. This movie looked as though it would either be very good or very bad. Fortunatelly it wasn't horrible, and I saw it during a matinée. Is is worth the matinée price but it pushes it's luck at an evening rate. I feel it rushed a little in the beginning. The mother was a little bit irrational. The story was a bit predictable at parts, and the it was missing that scare factor. I feel it wasn't too scary, too graphic, or jumpy at all. I found myself a little curious as to what happened in Silent Hill, so the story did more or less save it for me. The little girl did a great job, the mother was over-dramatic, and the father's role was played great. Don't expect to be scared, it's more like a murder mystery with demon's in it.
