Plot

Yet another movie based on a video game. A little girl sleepwalks and has bad dreams about some place called Silent Hill. Her mother (Mitchell) researches this and discovers an abandoned town with the same name; it was abandoned due to an underground coal fire. She takes her daughter without the consent of her husband (Bean) and that's when all the fun starts.

Pros

This movie has an original storyline with good special effects and acting. It manages to keep your attention for all 125 minutes (a little long for most horror/suspense films).

Cons

The ending has left a number of people I know confused.

Extras

  • Path of Darkness: Making "Silent Hill" 6-Part Featurette

Recommendation

I would highly recommend this movie to anyone that is a fan of this genre.
