What the hell is this movie about?

Rating: 1/10 (30 April 2006)

I love horror movies. I love to be scared. I have seen a lot of movies lately that have held me at the edge of my seat. The TV previews for Silent Hill are a bit creepy (ie. the white, twisted, mummy figure sneaking up behind the mom)....BUT...the movie is simply TERRIBLE. It is not scary. I nearly fell asleep trying to figure out what the heck it was all about. There is no connection/emotion among the characters and the story is told in a jumbled manner.Even when the flashback scenes attempt to "explain" who, what, why, when, and where...it fails. Awful acting. No excitement. No suspense. I think the only time I jumped was when the mom accidentally stumbled into a trash can. That's it. If you liked "Wolf Creek", "Hostel", and "The Hills Have Eyes", DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. It is a boring walk in the park, or, through the ash.
