A remake of Jacobs' Ladder?

Rating: 6/10 (24 April 2006)

Silent Hill. Just saw it. Not great but not Bad either. I thought it was much better than The Grudge but not as good as The Ring. I enjoyed the visual style of the first half of the movie very much. Reminded me of Jacob's Ladder. I liked the acting, Mitchell was good as the brave mother, although she possessed unbelievable bravery. Lori Holden was excellent as was Alice Krieg. The initial pace of the story was good, it kept the viewer involved, however I thought the second half of the movie lost some steam, and I am still not sure what Gans was trying to accomplish at the very end. Although I have never played the game Silent Hill, it seems that the creative team was trying to stay true to the game. Not great, but not bad. Certainly worth a look.
