When it comes down to it, this movie is terrible. It is not scary, it's just stupid. Silent Hill jumped on the films made off of videogames band wagon. Silent Hill gamers may enjoy it because they get to see characters immersed in an environment that's terrorized them before. However, if you are looking for a good movie, look somewhere else. The story centers around a mother, Rose, looking for her daughter who is too creepy to care about. The go to the ghost town Silent Hill because it's a place she dreams about. From there it just becomes one nightmarish spectacle after another. Silent Hill attempts to scare you with deformed monsters that spit acid, bugs, and giants with ten foot butcher knives. Rose's search for her daughter is entertaining but far to slow and interrupted. The movie is too long and tries to reach some higher meaning that it just can't quite grasp. The ending is bizarre and unsatisfying. In the end, Silent Hill fails as a horror movie, a thriller, a suspense film, and everything else it tries to be. Do yourself a favor and stay out of Silent Hill.
