What a great movie

Rating: 6/10 (22 April 2006)

Silent Hill was one of the best if not the best horror movies I have seen in my life. Done are the days of the psychological horror genre that audiences saw with The Ring and The Grudge. Don't get me wrong those movies were well done and did scare me at times, but Silent Hill did so much more. You see, Silent Hill does not so much scare you as scar you. When you leave the theater the movie stays with you, that is what a good horror movie should do.
This movie creates an atmosphere of a true nightmare, which is what the world of Silent Hill is all about. This movie stays true to what the games are all about, without relying too much on their fan base. The story to Silent Hill is actually (and surprisingly) very good. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but if you did not want to see it because you thought it would have a crap story, think again.
I found myself truly enjoying this sick demented world of Silent Hill and I believe a lot of people will too. It is a must see for any horror film junkie, and a refreshing film to all those "PG-13" horror movies that have been coming out lately.
