Silent Hill had some of the elements that I appreciate the most in the horror movie genre:
Mind numbing boredom.
Pitch black scenes where I can't see what the hell I'm supposed to be scared of.
Lack of anything even remotely resembling a plot.
I'm still trying to figure out why I didn't turn the DVD player off. This movie is two hours of your life that you will never get back. To say that this was a bad movie is like saying the Titanic had a small accident. Massive understatement.
What little I managed to piece together of the plot goes something like this: Some woman has a demented daughter so she takes her to the lovely town of Silent Hill which has more ash falling out of the sky than a Nazi death camp. She is accompanied by the scrawniest biker cop I've ever seen and the town has the usual supply of deformed demons, pyramid headed ax-wielders, and burned up witch children with tentacles made of barbed wire seeking revenge. This film is like a really bad acid trip, no matter how hard you try you can't wake up from it. It kept going back and forth so fast it made you dizzy enough to vomit all over your coffee table. Come to think of if instead of "Silent Hill" they should have titled is "Throw as Much Random Shit onto Two Hours of Celluloid as You Possibly Can" Do yourself a favor and pass on this cinematic turd.
