A desperate mother battles evil.

Rating: 9/10 (21 April 2006)

Extremely haunting. Rose Da Silva(Radha Mitchell)makes the journey to the deserted town of Silent Hill that has been repeatedly appearing in her sick daughter Sharon's(Jodelle Ferland)nightmares. Silent Hill is covered in a mysterious fog that ever so often moves out of the way for total darkness. It doesn't take long to realize that the darkness brings about unexplainable events. Rose witnesses puzzling manifestations and mangled beings spawned by evil in her search for her child. Sharon's horrid dreams actually could be the key to the history of Silent Hill's haze.
Fantastic visuals and special effects. Some very disturbing images and hellish violence. Harsh and compulsive original music by Jeff Danna and Akira Yamaoka strengthens the lurking prowess of evil. Sound editing is exceptional. Kudos to director Christophe Gans. Others in the cast: Laurie Holden, Sean Bean, Kim Coates and Alice Krige. If you like horror and hair-raising chills, SILENT HILL fills the bill.
