Silent Hill - Good Solid Horror Movie

First off, I never played the video game and was not familiar with the premise at all. In fact, other than seeing the trailer, I really didn't know anything about this movie other than that it looked creatively intriguing.

I love seeing movies that way and letting the story unfold; this is why I stay away from critics and ironically stay away from blogs and so forth on films I haven't yet seen.

Anyway, with that said and done, I enjoyed Silent Hill; in fact I will more than likely watch it again - which is more than I can say for most films of late.

It started a little slow (just the first 10 minutes or so) but then the eerieness began picking up and moved into a fast moving, spooky film. The cgi is a bit over the top, but we're talking about a fantastical horror movie here folks - lighten up. While this movie is based on a game, it doesn't rely on the viewer being a gamer - just someone who likes wild horror movies like Hellraiser.

Here's a flick I can recommend. Enjoy.
