Thursday, November 09, 2006 |
Silent Hill: (127min, set in the present, out on dvd.) Directed by: Christophe Gans Taglines: -Enjoy your stay. -The game is on. -The silence will be broken. -Welcome to Silent Hill. -Not so silent anymore. -Once you enter Silent Hill, there is no turning back. -We've been expecting you. Starring: -Radha Mitchell -Sean Bean -Laurie Holden -Jodelle Ferland -Deborah Kara Unger
Sharon, (Jodelle Ferland) the daughter of Rose De Silva, (Radha Mitchell) has been sleepwalking and suffers from nightmares. While in these 'trances' she says "Silent Hill." Rose decide to take her to Silent Hill, in hopes that it will help Sharon's nightmares cease. However the road to Silent Hill has been blocked off, because it is an abandoned town, which burned down some years ago and is seen as a "dangerous" place, but Rose is determined to get to it. She ends up in a car chase with a police officer, Cybil Bennett, (Laurie Holden) and they end up crashing into the entrance to Silent Hill. (breaking the fence, you know, all that) When Rose wakes up, Sharon is gone and she now enters Silent Hill in search of her daughter, while discovering it's past.
If you are a Silent Hill fan from the video game series, then I think you will love this movie! It sticks to the original Silent Hill plots, it is true to the video game, they even used the video games series music composer Akira Yamaoka. It wasn't a disappointment like Resident Evil. (Horrible movie) This movie kept me on edge, just like the game. It was scary, mysterious, it has meaning to it. It was a very well done film and I really appreciated the fact that it was true to the video game series. Unlike (some) movies, this one, when they got sprayed with blood, it stayed there! As it should. Very realistic. By the end of the movie, I thought Rose had changed her outfit, it was so drentched with blood. It was an amazing film. The acting was great, I believed it, it was really, really good. I liked it a lot.
10/10
Favorite Taglines: -Enjoy your stay. -Welcome to Silent Hill. -We've been expecting you.
Sidenote: Look out for the nurse. She's a good actress and really pretty. I believe it's the first movie she has ever done.

When playing the Silent Hill games I get a sick, nauseous feeling in the pit of my stomach, it’s so unsettling and this movie totally captured that feeling of fear and impending doom. I’m so glad you liked it. I think it is a totally underrated movie and it is so sad other movies based on video games aren’t this good. You can really tell this director was a fan of the Silent Hill series
