Where Silence Has Lease

Rating: 8/10 (30 April 2006)

Rose Da Silva, a loving mother taking her daughter Sharon to the forbidden town of Silent Hill, to help her with her nightmares. Yet when she enters, she enters a world between worlds. Between the real world and hell.
This is a genuine suspense thriller, not only to search for her daughter who has gone missing in that literal ghost town, but also finding clues to the town's sinister history. Albeit it's history is "typical," it's still well portrayed. And so re-watchable, getting it on DVD would still leave you with that suspenseful feel.
This movie is suspenseful enough to keep you wondering what is going to happen next. Well written and well acted to keep you glued to your seats. It wasn't exactly frightening (reduced rating from 9), but it was very unnerving to watch all the horror that is happening around Rose and Officer Bennett while they try to search for Rose's lost daughter and find a way out of silent hill. Not only to the horrors from the demons of darkness, but to why Silent Hill is so forbidden.
And with an ending that still leaves you in wonder.
Give Silent Hill .... 8.5 out of 10.
