woman searches for daughter in silent hill

Rating: 8/10 (6 May 2006)

there have been other recent movies based on games such as resident evil and house of the dead...and a lot more, but none have been A class movies. The best thing about this film is that it looks great. the sets are complicated and beautiful in a disturbing and sometimes grotesque way. and although the story line isn't gripping at all, the atmosphere is.its a film that kinda lingers in your consciousness after you see it.
its not a movie thats there to just attract people who've played the game...the special effects are the best I've seen in a horror film and on par with anything else e.g. king Kong ( alhtough the Kong is a much better movie because it has a huge gorilla in it ) .
don't expect cheap gimmicky shocks or the music to try and scare you..it doesn't go for those cheap shots, its mostly subtle.it just has a lot of atmosphere and a terrible story line...which doesn't matter at all because the atmosphere, the cinematography and the effects are worth it.
