The Best Horror Film of the Year!

Rating: 9/10 (23 April 2006)

If you love the Silent Hill video games, you will absolutely love the film. Although it doesn't relate to any one game, but it is a whole new story itself while containing locations and monsters from the series.
Pros: So the story is simple. A mother is looking for her daughter who is lost in Silent Hill. While she is searching for her, she encounters some of the most ghastly creatures in film history, and is in the most horrific locations you will ever see. The background behind the storyline is a complex one so close attention is needed but once you get the hang of things, you will aboslutely crave more info on what is going on.
Cons: The acting for some of the characters is just plain bad. You will actually laugh at how horrible it is. There are many walking scenes which could be downright removed from the film. The special effects are great in some scenes but look horrid in others.
Conclusion: Definitely one of the better films of 2006. (We are going at a bad start so far). So if you have'nt played the games, bring a fan with you or research it because it is vital. All in all, a wonderful horror movie.
