Silent Hill (2006)
10/10
Simply excellent
22 April 2006
When I first saw the trailer, I thought this movie would be a corny, not so great film. Everyone was pretty hyped up for it- just like they were with "Stay Alive" and the "When a Stranger Calls" remake. Both of those movies turned out to be absolute crap, with no quality whatsoever.

But Silent Hill surprised me. It can be really skin crawling when it wants to be- and that's pretty much all the time. Almost everyone in the audience was scared to death- just like myself. And I'm no scaredy cat. I'm a huge horror movie fan and have seen what people claim to be scariest.

Silent Hill was also packed with a few twists and turns. It kept you thinking throughout the entire film- it was a very interesting mystery! I sometimes found myself saying in my mind "I hate this movie" because it was so terrifying. But, deep down, I was loving it and wanting more! The acting was okay. Radha was a pretty good actress, along with many others. The only actor I'd consider "bad" is Sean Bean.

I was able to connect with the heroes of the story and feel what they were feeling.

Overall, Silent Hill is a must see for any horror fan. It's packed with surprises and scary scenes. Very good special effects, too!
