Was this review helpful? Yes - NoSilent Hill; Movie
Pros: Intense; Suspense; Chilling
Cons: Lacking a good ending
A horror fan; should see this movie. Glad that I did. Rose decides that she and her daughter are going to the place that dwells in her daughter's dreams; sleep walking. When they get to Silent Hill; Rose gets seperated from her daughter; so she enters the town of Silent Hill. As time goes you discover a few interesting details and some of the events that happened in Silent Hill . Her husband comes to find her at Silent Hill; but when he goes to Silent Hill; he is still in the present; Rose and her daughter lost. It is the suspense of what happened in Silent Hill that keeps you glued to the TV. If you have a chance rent, buy or borrow from a friend. Also, it is a movie that I would watch again....several times.

Pros: Close to the game, Effects, Casting
Cons: A rather lacking Ending
Silent Hill. As a young man I fondly remember freaking myself out playing Silent Hill on the PS1. The movie was a well made rendition of the game. Very close to the actual flow of the game, the acting and effects of the movie are superb. The short of it, however, is that if you never played the game or don't have an appreciation of such movies, you probably will not like it.

Cons: NONE!
When this mother and daughter enter Silent Hill, there is no turning back! For them, this ain't good! For us, this is great! It has a great plot and a great storyline! I would suggest renting it and then buying it!

Was this review helpful? Yes - NoGreat horrow flick
Pros: Excellent Graphics and followed the game very well
Cons: The end left you hanging
This was a great horror flick. Of course, if you are into any type of horror movie, you can predict the ending. If you have the game, you know exactly what's going to happen and what the characters are going to do in the situations. Great popcorn movie!

Was this review helpful? Yes - NoSilent Hill (2006)
Pros: All
Cons: none
As the movie opens, Rose Da Silva (Radha Mitchell) is in the act of pursuing her young daughter, an adorable little kid who has the nasty habit of sleepwalking near cliffsides. Thwarting her daughter's unintentional suicide at the last second, Rose hears the kid mutter something about "Silent Hill" before Dad (Sean Bean) comes rushing out to see if everyone's OK.
Next thing we know, Rose and little Sharon are hightailing it across the interstate, single-mindedly intent on visiting a small town named Silent Hill, West Virginia. The fact that Silent Hill is a ghost town, long ago ravaged by a harrowing underground inferno, does little to impede Rose's conviction: There's something wrong with her little girl (whom we quickly learn is adopted) -- and Silent Hill seems to hold the answer.
Despite being a well and truly dead town, Silent Hill does hold a whole lot of ... something, but it sure isn't anything resembling easy answers, group therapy, or a nice little lollipop for the ride home. Not surprisingly, horror fans, Silent Hill is absolutely packed to the rafters with slimy monsters, contorted corpses, chattering hell-bugs, tortured souls, and a few sneaky survivors who just might be more dangerous than the throngs of hell-spawned beasties that shadow Rose's every step. And, with little Sharon now lost somewhere in the deepest depths of Silent Hill's nether-regions, poor mom has to travel through some of hell's most unsanitary rest-stops if she wants to get her daughter back.
Silent Hill is about as deep as the Ghost House that arrives with your local carnival every Spring, but it's presented with such a bleak, dark, and ferocious visual edge that one finds it a bit easier to forgive the flick's narrative shortcomings. Clocking in at an overstuffed two hours, Silent Hill feels more like an "unrated director's cut" than an efficiently streamlined horror thriller. Even I, who actively enjoyed the movie, found myself checking my watch on more than one occasion, simply because when Silent Hill should be picking up some steam ... it takes an extra coffee break to dole out some backstory exposition that A) isn't really all that important, and B) was pretty much covered three scenes earlier. (Another small complaint: Playing Rose's husband, Sean Bean is saddled with a subplot that could be (literally) sliced out of the film and nobody would even notice.)
That's really my one and only (big) problem with Silent Hill: It needed a few extra trips to the editing bay, period. Aside from that, I had a gruesome good time on my visit to the Hill. Radha Mitchell does some excellent work with a difficult role; the background characters are suitably intriguing and/or horrifying; the screenplay, while certainly not Avary's finest work, is appropriately dour and disconcerting; and the look of the movie ... well, it deserves its own paragraph.
I'll not list all the production designers, set decorators, cinematographers, CGI wizards, and gore-wranglers individually -- but let's just say everyone associated with the visual end of Silent Hill earned their paychecks big-time, and then some. At its darkest and gloomiest moments, Silent Hill is a masterpiece of visual ... ickyness. The sets, the design, the monsters and Gans' aggressively fluid camera flourishes all add up to a monster movie unlike any you've seen before. (The plot itself is, of course, nothing new -- but the look of Silent Hill sure as hell is.)
So to answer the question that Silent Hill's target audience has been clinging to for the past few months: Yeah, Silent Hill is probably the finest "video game movie" to hit the screens so far. (Then again, calling a film "better than Super Mario Bros., Double Dragon, and House of the Dead" is hardly high praise.) The movie seems to come from a group of filmmakers who want to please the game-fans at the same tWas this review helpful? Yes - NoA Truly Moving Film
Pros: Great atmosphere and story
Cons: deviated from game to nth degree
It's not common for a horror movie to be moving, but I think this is an exception. I was in tears at some parts. I loved the way it was filmed, the music used, and the use of suspense. For the most part it was faithful to some of the motifs and ideas in the games, though I wish it was more like the original game-mainly that it stuck more to the story. That was about the only thing I didn't care for...it excelled otherwise, the only good adaptation of a video game to film
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoSilent Hill is a Psychological Masterpiece
Pros: Wonderful art direction and story
Cons: Poor sound mixing in some sequences
An Outstanding and well-written adaptation of the popular sci-fi gaming title. Well acted and superbly filmed. I highly reccommend this one!
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoSilent Hill, not that bad.
Pros: visually stylish
Cons: over scripting
Huh? A movie adaptation of a video game that wasnt completely awful? I didnt think that it was possible. The movie was visually stylish, but it missed the mark when it came to the video games natural emotional horror. I liked the fact that the creatures were more disturbing than grotesque, which gave them a more realistic feel and added to their believability. One of the major problems of the movie came from the sets, most of the movie felt like it was shot in a sound stage, even where it wasnt, and that hampered the emersion that the movie should have had. The second problem was just plain over scripting. More running, less talking. At various points in the movie the dialog really slowed the movie down to much, which allowed the horror elements to fade.
The acting was superb. Radha Mitchell sold the Rose character which allowed you to sympathize with the character and share in her anxiety, fear, and dedication. Laurie Hold was an exceptional find for the Cybil character. She had the perfect mix of sexiness, strength, and compassion; which another actress could have easily blown and ruined the entire movie. Jodelle Ferland really did allow the movie to come together with her portrayal of Sharon and Alessa.
The DVD had a lack of outstanding special features like deleted scenes, but the few featurettes were entertaining. And it showed the shame of the lighting not being better when it came to the scene of the nurses.:)
Overall, I would say that this is a great movie to set back and relax with. It isnt going to terrify you the way that the video games series might have; and you are probably going to have to set through dialog that was probably better left out, but I think that you will enjoy it.Was this review helpful?
