I'm not even sure where to start with this one. If you're one of my regular readers you know that I don't condemn or spoil movies in my reviews. Even though I'm quite tempted to rant, and do both of those things, I will refrain myself. I suppose I'll have to start with what I thought of the original
Silent Hill.
Much like with
Doom, I've heard a lot of fans of the games
Silent Hill 2 &
3, (apparently there's never been another good one,) say that they hate the movie for not being like the games enough. I can understand that, but overall I like the first movie.
Silent Hill may have suffered from strong-woman-protagonist-is-strong-because-she-acts-like-an-insert-favorite-explitive-here, but otherwise was a pretty well-written horror movie with a more complex narrative than the usual, ghost is mad in a dark place and kills a handful of teenagers. Granted, as I've explained before, I am not a horror fan, but I typically include
Silent Hill in the horror movies that I enjoy.
