Interesting art directions

Rating: 5/10 (10 March 2014)

Rose (Radha Mitchell) and Christopher Da Silva (Sean Bean) struggle with their sleep walking adopted daughter Sharon (Jodelle Ferland). In her dreams, Sharon keeps mentioning the town of Silent Hill. So Rose decides to take Sharon to the mysterious town. Christopher discovers Rose's plan and tries to follow her. Motorcycle cop Bennett (Laurie Holden) pulls her over but Rose speeds away. Rose wakes up in Silent Hill with Sharon missing. It's raining ashes, and then a blaring air siren sounds.
Based on a video game, the plot is thin and not very compelling. It's a ghost story excuse to have creepy things. Radha Mitchell screams a lot. Laurie Holden is a hot motorcycle cop. The art direction is very interesting and unique. The movie isn't scary at all. Other than the odd looking creations, there isn't much to recommend about this movie.
