silent hill movie

This movie is as good as "Stay Alive", and nope, that ain't a compliment. Some of the worse dialogue i've heard in awhile(well since stay alive). Check this out, there was a moment in the movie when the antagonist saw the heroine enter her domain and said "You're here." Then the heroine answer her by saying (lol): "I'm here". I remember writing those kind of dialogue in 4th grade for english class. 1 to 10, this movie gets a 2. only saving grace was the dreaded setting and morbid atmosphere.

Thank you for the indepth review, Ebert.

agreed^^^^

Just saw Silent Hill - Good first hour, which was surprisingly faithful to the game, lost itself towards the end with a bunch of needless religious undertones and half-assed attempts at surprise twists. The ending of the film definately left something to be desired.

Worth seeing.

Since ticket prices over here are $9.00 i dont recommend watching it at the movies. I agree it started good but it went downhill the second half.

I never played the first, so my only knowledge was the beginning of 2, and 3.

*spoilers*

Pyramid Head was scary as hell to me, and the anna slaughter scene was one of the most graphic, and best things I have ever seen.

*end spoilers*

viagra? huh?

Well, I'm gonna go see it today (being a fan of the franchise, it's my duty) I'm pretty much only seeing it for Pyramid Head, but I'll see how it goes. I've seen some good, bad, and "meh..." reviews.

I thought it was excellent, although the long exposition scene dragged the second half down a little. The entire school sequence was amazingle well-done, IMO.

LOL....forget about it.

Pyramidhead was by far one of the scariest parts of the movie

:😖hudders::

A great flick...still number one at the box office last time I checked.

1. ticket sales don't equal great movie. I'm sure most people went to see it for the same reason i did; i'm a big fan of the game.

2. my oppinions are a product of my thoughts alone. If you don't agree fine, just don't take it too personally. 🙂

3. to be fair, this movie has it's good points (atmosphere was awesome, and yep pyramid head was kickass) however (I) believe that the bad quality totally outnumbered the good quality. But again, for the cry babies, this is just (MY) oppinion. 🙂

4. any more comments?

I liked the movie. I've already said that. But one thing that really, really bothered me, even more than the exposition ... every time the cult started chanting to "burn the witch," I flashed back to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Acting and dialogue weren't that bad, by horror movie standards. It probably helped that I didn't go in expecting very much from that department.

Most of my other complaints are the result of fanboy rage. They should have left in the nurse as an innocent victim who took a brief nap, and when she woke up, Jesus, the place is full of hideous zombie nurses--the end of her story, when the truth was revealed, might just be my favorite video game moment ever, and it's a damn shame that it didn't make it too the big screen. What they did with the police woman was okay, but what happened in the game (another of my favorite moments; that was a great game, I need to replay it) had a lot more impact. They cut out the drug storyline, but, hell, that never made much sense in the first place. They changed the main characters sex, which .. well, whatever. I suppose if Hollywood made a horror movie with a male protagonist, the world would end or something.

Maybe "excellent" was an overstatement, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

you know what i notice that too, alot of the horror movies now has a female as lead protagonist. anywayz, we have different issues on the movie. your concern is that the movie doesn't really stay true to the game( yeah i would've enjoyed the game-ending a hell of a lot more), but my concern is with the idiotic characters and the bad acting. I honestly see this more as a rental.

I usually don't like to read reviews of "experts" but this one here summed up the main issue i had with the movie. Though there are parts of it i didn't agree with. I want to post it because i'm too lazy to type all the issues down. Just the first paragraph and the second paragraph will sum up my main problem with the story.

I actually enjoyed the film in its entirety.. the morbid.. the grotesque.. the wierdness, tragedy and depression... I think the fanatics put a damper on it just a bit.. not entirely.. perhaps had they worked on the idea more it could have flowed better.. but it definately didnt make the movie horrible at all

The video game movies never seem to get cut any slack though.. its always "They didnt stick close enough to the game" or "The problem was that it was 'too' faithful to the game" and so forth..

If you love silent hill, go see it... but I dont think you'll care about it if you havent played / dont know about silent hill

7.5/10 from me

the movie had the exact same monsters, music, and town graphics as the video games. So if you've played the video games, you'll love the movie. And as all the silent hills, they all have different stories to them, so does the movie. it's own story with the same effects. I loved it and I want to see it a second time in the theatres!!
