Silent Hill

Movie is very good. Slow creepy stages with shocking / gothic creatures. A few very gory deaths but these are so ketchup / video gamey that they are not realistic. Very dark themes of puritanism, witch hunts, revenge. Child abuse is alluded to, no sex and no drug usage in the film. On the positive side, the film is about motherhood and bonds between parents (mothers) and children and the importance and strength of family. highly female led - men play a secondary role, which is refreshing.

Really liked this movie was really good in all ways got nothing but praise for this, to the excellent acting to the brilliant special effects, and good story line, with camera works. (No too close to actor's, shaky screen or moving too fast.)

An incredible movie but not for the faintest of people. There is some blood SPOILERS: Somebody gets there skin ripped off but not as graphic as it sounds, somebody gets ripped in half and dead nurses slit each others throats and faces. Some scariness like a huge man in with a pyramid for a head, and some swearing like s*** f*** b**** and c***. The monsters are from hell and some people might find disturbing. Overall a very good movie recommend.

I honestly don't think there is anything super bad about this film as long as your child does not mind a little blood and some monsters. There is no sex or nudity in this film so I do not know why it is rated a 3 for sex. There is some language. If your child has an interest in horror films I do not think this is a bad one to start off with.

If you like "trippy" films- this is perfect. A film that has created an immensely dark atmosphere for itself and builds upon the creature and characters within Silent Hill. Although confusing and maybe somewhat slow at times- whenever the action starts; it is relentless. With some of the most grotesque death scenes tied with the often surreal imagery, the film does exactly what it wants to: disturb the viewer. If your kid has seen horror movies- then yes, they will handle it. It never really goes into a ultra-violet torturous territory such as films like "Hostel" or "The Hills Have Eyes" but it definitely pairs its gore with nightmarish images. An awesome film for your older teen if they love horror movies.

I personally love this film, I first watched it when I was 11 and am now 13, recently I watched it again. It is a quite violent and gory film, with some grisly deaths, such as people being burned alive by some religious cult, a lady's skin being ripped off and barbed wire tearing people apart, but to be honest it's nothing any horror film fans such as my self wouldn't have seen before. There's some disturbing monsters which help complete the whole trapped in a nightmare theme, I think whether you decide to watch this film or not depends on your maturity and how much gore bothers you, it may be difficult to follow for some younger viewers, I probably wouldn't recomend it to under 12s unless you're very mature for your age. Great film though!

The silent hill franchise is incredibly popular for horror lovers. It is about a mystical town called Silent Hill. The town gives all the people in it different nightmares depending on what they have done of bad things. This movie (horrible compared to the original video game) is about the cultists nightmare that occurred after they killed an innocent little girl. I recommend that you let your kid watch this if he or she feels they are ready and let them deal with the consequences. Remember: this movie has extremely "creative" monsters and very violent images. (:

i think this film is great i dont care that my son and his friends watched it didnt scare em a bit my son loves this movie and watches it often hes turning 14 and has seen it when he was 11 and found this movie on dvd i think parents shouldnt be worried about their children seeing this movie it depends if they are scared easily but i like this movie and some people should watch it some day its my favorite

It took me a long time to finally see this movie as the description didn't really appeal to me. Well, I was right. I didn't enjoy it much at all. Even the beginning was dull and slow moving. I have to agree with CommonSense that it is very grim, violent and certainly not for kids or younger teens. I couldn't get into the story so I ended up turning it off about 1 hour later. Language is strong. Violence is very gruesome and gory with lots of weird creatures throughout. I didn't notice any sexual content. I don't think any positive messages would exist in this movie. It is likely to scare teens and sensitive adults but I did not find anything scary about it half way through. Alright for 16+ viewers I think.
