Movie Story
The eerie and deserted ghost town of Silent Hill draws a young mother desperate to find a cure for her only child's illness. Unable to accept the doctor's diagnosis that her daughter should be permanently institutionalized for psychiatric care, Rose (Radha Mitchell) flees with her child, heading for the abandoned town in search of answers -- and ignoring the protests of her husband (Sean Bean). It's soon clear this place is unlike anywhere she's ever been. It's smothered by fog, inhabited by a variety of strange beings and periodically overcome by a living Darkness that literally transforms everything it touches. As Rose searches for her little girl, she begins to learn the history of the strange town and realizes that her daughter is just a pawn in a larger game.

Some folks will nitpick anything. Silent Hill being no exception, but I found it refreshing and Spooky as Hell! The music really set the scenes, the actors portrayed their fear of this strange and macbre town extremely well. Too me this was one movie worth seeing, especially if watched alone and in a pitch black room, it's the only true way to get the real feel of this movie. Now I've never played the game as yet, but after seeing the movie, you can bet I'm going to have t get it and try it out for sure. This movie was great in the fact it left the viewer to use their own imagination against the "what if" or "could this really happen" in real life. If anyone has ever seen any photo's of babies born to mothers on hard core drugs or other happenstance photo's of true freaks of nature, wether human or animal, then Silent Hill is not far off the mark from reality, which if thought about, is really downright scary. A great film, a great cast and a wonderfully scary musical score! Definitely worth a 5 STAR+ rating in my opinion.
posted by Clay on Jan 20, 2007Movie 5 stars+, but what I am disappointed in is the fact that their is no soundtrack of the movie available. I would love to have the soundtrack to this movie and my question to any of the Hollywood folk that score these type of movies is: "Why do you not release Movie Soundtracks to many of the horror movies made?" There are many of us out here that would love to own soundtracks to certain movies, yet, none ever seem to get released. Why is this? Can anyone answer that question? Other than this one minor (major for me though as I am a collector of horror film music) thing, I loved the movie, per my other review left at this site earlier. I want the soundtrack to Silent Hill "the movie"!
posted by Clay on Jan 20, 2007Silent Hill is the BEST movie I've ever seen! They have the perfect actors, too! Especially Radha Mitchell and Jodelle Ferland! The first time I watched it, I got so obsessed with it! I even got it for christmas and atleast watched it about 50 times! (Seriously I've been keeping track!)
posted by Philomena on Feb 04, 2009I also wanted to mention the music in the movie is awesome! The music in Silent Hill is way better than the music in any other movie. I wish they made another Silent Hill video game that was EXACTLY like the movie!
