Wow......

Rating: 1/10 (23 April 2006)

I think "wow" pretty much sums up my opinion of Silent Hill. I never played the video games, but you shouldn't have to to enjoy a movie. There was absolutely no logic whatsoever in the movie, here's an example: This little girl doesn't have a father.....therefore we should burn her alive.....
What?
Did that just really happen? Are they really going to do it? Yup, they did it. And quite honestly, seeing people burned at the stake is not something on my to-do list, but thank you Silent Hill for that experience, I am sure to treasure it. This must have been the conversation between the writers: "hmm, I don't think the viewers got enough burnings in 'The Hills Have Eyes', so let's burn someone else!" "Yeah, we should do that. Oh wait, but we should beat her to a bloody pulp with iron rods first" "Yeah, that'd great". I really hope my blatant sarcasm hits home here, because I cannot emphasize the length this movie goes to "scare" people.
I really hate to say that this movie has a redeeming quality, but the......oh wait never mind, there is absolutely nothing in this movie worth mentioning.
I think the previews for this movie qualify for false advertising, trying to convince us naive viewers that the movie has a point. I have read many of the reviews posted on this site that say people were on the edge of their seats in the theatres, screaming, hiding their faces. Personally, I didn't watch the movie with Kindergartners so I don't know what that was like. I do know that I did not hear a single person scream, only laughs at the ridiculous "plot" and "acting". I did hear people get up and leave though, and I am regretting I did not do the same.
Please, I beg you, do not see this movie. Your mind, wallet, stomach, eyes, back, car, grandma, etc...will thank you for it.
