 | Silent Hill is basically the equivolent of a really hot chick who's dumb as a bag of hammers and refuses to shut up... oh yeah, but bloodier and trying to kill you. So yeah, the movie was awesome looking. It was filled with unforgettable imagery, demonic creations, and insane recreations of Hell itself. That being said, the movie was about as well scripted and acted as The Cell. Yeah that's right, I pulled the J.Lo card. Silent Hill after all was said and done was little more than The Cell 2. Like its predecessor we got little more than imaginative settings filled with laughably boring characters. It was just so good and yet, so very bad at the same time bringing to mind memories of Star Wars Ep 3. I just don't know what to say. It's like they gave a touch up to a Uwe Bole script and put a decent director behind the camera. See it if you can watch it with subtitles. I suggest gouging out only the very most sensative portions of your ear canals so that you can still hear the music and atmospheric stuff, because bar none that was excellent too. So what do we got here? Fantastic direction and set design, great music, and beautifuly horrid monsters. It's just missing a script and a good dialogue coach. Get it right next time, Hollywood, cause this one really showed some awesome promise. 4.9/10 Side Recommendations: The Cell (even though I hated it) or Resident Evil (because I still consider that a competent video game movie, enjoyable even) |
