Started off so well and turned into... well... how to describe? A total mess!

Rating: 2/10 (9 October 2006)

I was kind of excited to see Silent Hill, it looked totally creepy and just plain exciting to watch. Then I heard some mixed reviews on it, some good, but some pretty bad, like bashing the movie bad. Still, tonite my friend and I needed a movie to watch and we have either seen the new releases or just really didn't want to see the movie in general. Now the pick came down to "The Lake House" or "Silent Hill"... you guess how easy that decision came to be.
Silent Hill started off so well, a little creepy girl is having nightmares about Silent Hill, a burned down town that is abandoned. The adopted mother naturally wants to help her, so she figures to take her little girl down to Silent Hill to maybe stop the dreams, but ends up in a bad accident after running from a police officer. She wakes up to find herself in a disturbing town and her little girl is gone. The police officer and her decide together to take on Silent Hill to find her daughter, but instead find themselves fighting off something worse, zombies! But it turns eventually into a total Salem Witch Trial. :P
Silent Hill like I said started off so well, but the ending just killed the movie totally. Big twist, ha! Not to mention that the ending just plain didn't make any sense. I don't know, maybe the fans of the video game might enjoy it, but I can see why now that I didn't get into those games.
2/10
