Review of Silent Hill (2006) by Aaronw. — 29 Mar 2007
The film adaptation of Silent Hill shouldn't receive awards in all categories equally - far from it. However, it does enough with what it has to warrant a look if you like "creepy", though perhaps not if you want to see a 4 star movie Pros: Visuals - The Darkness is very "off".
.. in a good way (Filmed in HD) TERRIFIC ambiance and atmosphere - Silent Hill's one "true" strength. The Otherworld/Darkness setting is very well done. Silent Hill itself also gives you the feeling of isolation.
The... "unique" soundtrack, taken from the games themselves, feels very well placed. Great monster costumes - Pyramid Head especially. Cons: Acting - Cheesy at times ("They used to say this town was haunted" LOL) Development - Character personalities seem underdeveloped, and the plot seems to run around like a headless chicken for the 1st half of the movie.
