Best film I've seen for ages

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2006)

When I went to watch Silent Hill I didn't know what to expect. Now a days people can't seem to create scary films. They either have too much blood or too much action. Silent Hill, however, is the scariest and most intense horror film I've seen. It begins well, throwing the viewer into a situation that has been going on for a while (the girl's sleep walking), and then starts to move at a perfect pace. The town itself brings back all the memories of the game. Probably the best part in the whole film is about 20 minutes in. The whole atmosphere changes from a deserted town to a nightmare world. Walls become cages, objects get warped, and the freakiest babies ever seen try to tear the main character apart. More suspense is added when the air raid siren goes off. It warns the viewer that something is going to happen, something bad. Overall a great film that actually fits into the 'horror' genre. Look out for a cameo from Silent Hill 2 that will be the new villain/creature to fear from now on.
