127 minutes of your life you will never get back (Silent Hill)

Advantages: the special effects are impressive
Disadvantages: disjointed story, not scary, irritating, bad accents, overly long

Silent Hill (otherwise known as 127 minutes of your life you will never get back) is a "scary movie" staring Radha Mitchell and Sean Bean. Ugh where do I start? Well the positive is that on the back of the DVD the summary makes it sound intriguing and interesting with the potential to be a real jump out of your seats thriller. The other positive is that the high polish production and special effects really are excellent and despite my opinion of ...

Silent Hill - where the unimaginable horrors live

Advantages: Great game to movie conversion, real horror movie
Disadvantages: Can't think any, but maybe too scary for some viewers

I knew Silent Hill for the first time when the game for PSOne console was out on the market, and being a fan of survival horror game I tried the game and proven to be one of the scariest survival horror game ever made. And when I heard it was going to be made into a movie, I couldn't wait to watch it though I had a thought that "it will be disappointing", so I did (few times in fact he..he..he..he) boy I was wrong !!!. Based on a video game for Playstation ...

Rose Da Silva (Radha Mitchell) : the main character, ...

The Silence before the Screams

Advantages: Good horror, especially for gaming fans
Disadvantages: The plot deamnds your full attention

Video games turned into movies do not really entertain me, the recently released Doom movie starring the Rock I thought was dire, not to mention a few other video games turned into movies. So I can't say I was interested in viewing this at all. However, so many friends were recommending it, and after reading some reviews on the film, which did not make it sound bad, I thought ...

After much concern over her ever growing condition, her adopted mother, Rose Da Silva, takes her to the place which is continuously haunting her daughters dreams, much against her husbands wishes. Their journey to Silent Hill becomes increasingly difficult and a Police Officer ends up pursuing Rose, until they all suffer a ...
