Strong and Moving!
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
We all know that video games movies are most of the time complete garbage. Movies like Alone in the Dark, Mortal Kombat Annihilation, and House of the Dead are universally hated for being terrible adaptations of the games they're based off of. But not this one. This movie is actually pretty good, for a video game movie. It has a decent cast, good writer, good special effects, and is taking one of the best video game series and turning it into a movie. This movie is destined to be a great video game movie, but is it a great movie? Not really. If we pretend that this movie isn't based off of the series we know and love, it just comes off as a mediocre horror movie you'd find on tv at 2 am. The dialogue sucks, the actors (despite some of them being good actors) really don't do that good, Sean Bean's character felt like he was just shoved in the movie (which in fact, he was) and the "scares" don't even seem like they came out of the Silent Hill series. While this may be an impressive video game movie, it isn't a very impressive movie. But hey, it is better than the sequel.
Not a great horror film - but not too bad. It's your standard modern day horror-thriller without a lot of thrills. For me, the only reason to watch the movie is for the beginning and ending with Sean Bean - outside of that it's just mediocre. 5/10
Without doubt one of the best movie adaptions of a game: full pro production, good actors (Radha Mitchell, Sean Bean, Jodelle Ferland), directing (Christophe Gans, the guy who directed Crying Freeman and Le pacte des loups!) and last but not least superb "graphics" and an intense sinister atmosphere. If you like(d) to play the game, I guess, you already watched the movie or if not, if you will, you will like the movie too. The second movie Silent Hill: Revelation is for sure not as strong as this one, but despite many negative critics, I like the sequel too.For the connoisseur of horror and thriller indeed Silent Hill is a great pleasure..
Silent Hill is a 2006 horror movie directed by Christophe Gans,after a script by Roger Avary,Christophe Gans and Nicolas Boukhrief.Rose DA Silva is a mother who notices that her daughter,Sharon,has a strange behavior.When Sharon disappears in Silent Hill,a village that has been abandoned for many years,she goes to look for her,but she notices that there are different strange creatures and discovers that the survivors hide in a church.In the end,she needs to make a pact with a ghost to save her daughter.From my point of view,Silent Hill is an excellent horror movie with well-placed details and with an interesting story.I saw it five or six times and I still like it.Source:www.wikipedia.ro
