Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2019)

I know nothing about the video games, the history or anything else about Silent Hill. Still this movie is incredible. Music is dark, emotional, hauntingly beautiful and deep. Sharon is adorable. Rose is gorgeous and a wonderful mother. Cybil irked me in the beginning. Cop or not, what gives her the right to follow a car without any legit reason at all? In the first scene with the "darkness" in town itself the screeching that creature was making took me aback. Must be one of the worst noises I've ever heard in my whole life. Overall atmosphere of the town is dark, creepy and odd. Music adds to it more than all the fog, empty streets or ruckus. I absolutely hated Anna, all those despicable monsters ("people") in the church. Not to mention Christabella. She is the one manipulating all of those brain dead morons which led to the town becoming their personal hell. Her death was probably the most gruesome movie death scene I've ever seen, but at the same time most satisfying. Imagine barbed wires ripping you in half literally. It had to be beyond excruciating. Yet, when it comes to monsters like her... No punishment is enough. No amount of pain is enough for her to repay all the monstrosities that she's done. Maybe a better punishment for her would be to burned alive, but alive, stuck in the attic (or whatever it was) just like Alessa was. Fate worse than death. Some forms of life are worse than death, and that's precisely the kind of fate Christabella richly deserves. I just didn't understand why wasn't Rose's husband experiencing the same kind of hell and darkness as she did while in Silent Hill. And why was he able to get out of there but she wasn't? And the whole she's a demon, a devil, a monster and a shame to the family, to town and whatever cause she had a baby out of wedlock? Enough to make anyone want to puke. This is one of the many examples of religious people being much bigger monsters than others, who don't care much for religion. Ok, these are mental fanatics, for sure, but in general religious people are worse. Great movie all in all.
