Synopsis

Rose Da Silva is a young mother whose adopted daughter Sharon speaks of the West Virginia mining town of Silent Hill as she sleepwalks. Rose decides to take Sharon there in an attempt to discover why it haunts her dreams but Silent Hill has been a ghost town since a series of underground coal fires in 1974, and the residents who stayed behind are the stuff of nightmares. It's always been said that a video game cannot be successfully adapted into a film. With SILENT HILL, director Christophe Gans (BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF) and screenwriter Roger Avary (KILLING ZOE) have the benefit of the atmospheric and often terrifying game series of the same name. With a budget reportedly in excess of $50 million, they wisely eschew dense plot in favour of a kaleidoscopic nightmare--culled from several volumes of the game series--designed to give horror fans what they crave. SILENT HILL is notable for having a largely female cast (the male characters were reportedly added at the studio's behest), with Radha Mitchell (PITCH BLACK), Deborah Kara Unger, Alice Krige, and Laurie Holden in the principal roles. But the film's real star is production designer Carol Spier (known for her frequent work with David Cronenberg), whose work makes the deserted town into a true vision of hell. Utilizing an effective combination of CGI and latex makeup effects, several of the creatures on display may upset more sensitive viewers, as will some of the carnage. On the other hand, seasoned horror fans and gamers who have been waiting to see a joystick-free version of SILENT HILL are likely to come away feeling like they've just taken a nightmare vacation to the spookiest town in America.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's better on Blu-ray, 12 May 2009
By Mr. L. C. Button "ashend10" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Because Silent Hill was a movie adaptation of a video game series many critics thought it lacked integrity. But for fans of psychological horror and the macabre it succeeded in giving movie-goers an experience they were unlikely to forget. The storyline is very simple. Rose loses her adopted daughter in the town of Silent Hill and tries to find her. What happens next is a struggle for survival against supernatural creatures and the insane human inhabitants. As a big fan of the Silent Hill 2 videogame it was great to see such an impressive depiction of the town and its monsters on screen. Radha Mitchell (Rose) does her best to look terrified and distressed (she succeeds). And its great to see the Bean Machine in another movie role.

The obvious benefit of Blu-ray over dvd is the higher defintion. Because many scenes in Silent Hill were set in dark locations it was difficult to make out the finer details on the dvd version. This is not a problem on Blu-ray. Put simply, it is easier to see what is going on. Pyramid Head is more impressive and now the viewer can easily see the hideous little faces on the Creepers. Extras include making of documentaries, UK TV spots, a photo gallery and the theatrical trailer.

I thought Christophe Gans did an excellent job of translating the mythology of the Silent Hill videogames to the big-screen. Silent Hill on Blu-ray is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars For fans of the series., 2 Jun 2009
By Mr. Dennis J. Bergin "Denboy" (Pompey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This for me is a film for the fans. Not to say I wouldn't recommend it for every fan of the genre, but you'll miss the subtleties that refer to the original Silent Hill for the PS1 and may get lost with the story which can sometimes seem complex.
