Silent Hill is an amazing movie!! I loved it! Yes something is wrong with Rose Because she has this thing were when something weird happens she runs away from the cop who has the weapon!! I mean she’s crazy for doing that, I would be holding hands with the cop crying telling her not to leave me! The end is they go home with no husband there but the husband can smell her just like at the school he notices some presence is there. But the girls are stuck in a different demension then the husband is. :[ Pretty sad, but great movie!!

I thought the movie was pretty good but there were alot of things that i didn’t understand..
The man that raped Alessa, when Rose was in the bathroom and saw him all tied up and nasty, she took something out of his mouth..how did she know that was there and how did she know it would help..i mean i wouldnt be sticking my hand in that guys mouth if i didnt know what i might find. or what might happen.
I didn’t really understand either, what made the people of Silent Hill so wierd and screwed up. and why were there no children?

and the one that confused me the most. was why couldn’t Rose and Sharon see the husband in the end???? why were they still in parallel universes. if thats what they were in.
i would love someone to explain that part to me!!!!
Though there were parts missing in the plot, overall i thought it was good.

As a Silent Hill Fan this review can go both way.
1. I hated it because it was a mockery of the first Game
or
2. It was great, the movie made the events of the game it’s own and actually followed most of the games events.

I will have to pick 2. Any Silent Hill fan can see this and determan if they like it or not. Any TRUE Sielnt Hill Fan can actually sit there, watch it and connect the dots of the characters, events and origins of the town.
I’ve seen this movie probeby 16 times now and still counting and I can assure all who read’s this that there is nothing to be disapointed about.
Dahlia in the movie was way better then the one in the game, It was said she had gone crazy when Alessa was burned, in the game she seemed fine but the movie did justice and made her seem like a wreck, that she actually had gone crazy.
the most pined point of disapointment was that there was no mention of God in Alessa’s womb, now this is the part where All SH fans should have payed attention to If they have played the first game from a book that Harry reads called “Leonard Rhine, The Monster Lurks” Chapter 3 “Manifestation of Delusions” look it up.

The down side?
The ending was kinda lacking, the least they could have done was have Pyramid head burst through thoes church doors and start killing people with Alessa, oh well, her revenge, not his.

Over all Grade…

Ok so I’ve watched the movie and read some reviews and have to say i (mostly) loved the movie. i have found some things with the film wanting however. first, what the hell is wrong with rose character? she’s stuck in this hell with a cop who has the only weapon between them, yet has a bad habit of running away by herself. now i don’t know about anybody else, but personally i find it hard to believe that someone stuck in as scary of a place as this would stay with the only person who has a gun. the second thing i found is the ending. what the hell happened with that? the little demon girl, Sharon, and home, there needs to be some explanation there. I’m left under the assumption that the little girl was possessed by the demon girl, but i have no clue if this is correct, and whats the deal with them going home? why are they in this parallel universe still? theres no explanation as to whats going on. did they die in silent hill, and now they’re in some sort of heaven at home unaware? i realize that there probably wont be a response to this post but if there is then i would love to see it

[...] all those scare effects were done better in other movies. These effects essentially come across as “Silent Hill” lite. There are also plenty of the hackneyed, “Man, this is stupid”, false alarm, loud noise, [...]

I can kinda agree with you on Pyramid-Head. While most of the other monsters got explanations and origins as to why they exist, they give you absolutely no information on Pyramid-Head. I thought it sorta added to his mystique, but it was a lingering question left unanswered. I’m sure they’ll pick it up in the sequel, though.

I really didn’t find the explaination to be that long or boring, for that matter. If anything it made the clues that were being dropped snap into place.

For instance the Bathroom sequence just feels out of place - but once the flashback sequence occurs its signifigance suddenly jumps from throwaway Hellraiser-esque scare to a very signifigant event. If anything felt tacked on, it was Pyramid Head. Which is sad, because his sequences were very well done and he was handled with dignity (It’d have been far too easy to lean on him like a crutch as the main “bad guy” of the film like oh say Nemesis from RE: Apocolypse), but he was never really placed into the Silent Hill mythos as well as the other monsters. He was just “there” - which works if/when he returns in the Sequel which may or may not have anything to do with the first film - but hurt the film in general, I thought.

But I digress, I can see why some thought the flashback was tedious and even understand it, but from my perspective it was really well done and made everything you’d seen up to that point make sense in a new light.

If you want a movie with a tedious and tacked on explaination, watch “Death Tunnel” - Hour and a half of “What’s going on here?” wrapped up in the last 10 minutes…which of course, resolves nothing and explains even less.
