Throughout the movie, I loved the Visual Effects, and I also felt like a lot of backstory was told, creating a good plot and also an engaging experience. I can still remember a lot of scenes, like the nurses which had an amazing design and were faithful to the game as well as the Pyramid Head that felt slow but strong on his attacks while pursuing the protagonist. I would say this movie was the best Silent Hill movie ever released and it should deserve some praise because it captures the essence of Silent Hill - eerie, gorey and brutally horrific.… Expand

Taken from the video game of the same name, the film is quite beautiful and also quite faithful to the settings of the video game. Frightening the righteous and also very sad, perhaps too much.

El concepto de pyramid head esta muy bien usado, dándole respeto en su aparición y dando a entender que es el monstruo mas peligroso de todo Silent Hill. La mayoria de escenas me parecieron asquerosas, que ese era el objetivo sin duda. Lo hicieron genial en cuanto a lore y monstruos. El final no lo entendí del todo pero me pareció bastante inesperado.… Expand

Terror in Silent Hill is a remarkable film for me, I really admire the importance that director Christophe Gans gave to the production of the film, trying to create an adaptation in the hope of pleasing game fans and the general public is not easy, and it is course there were changes to the plot. as a fan I believe that these changes (motivations and personality of some characters) are acceptable for a film production, for those who do not know the games, we have a mother in search of her daughter in a cursed city, with the brilliant performance of the main actresses , Radha Mitchel, Laurie Holden, Alice Krige, Deborah Kara Unger and of course Jodelle Ferland, for the fans, we have a wonderful art direction, the film sets and various elements and references to the games are present in all details, angles of cameras taken from the games not counting the soundtrack that is fully adapted from the first three games and it works for the film as well as it works for games, particularly I get goosebumps at times, the characterization of the characters is also wonderful, especially the monsters of the games, some faithfully adapted and others created for the universe of the film and that fit perfectly within the context of the film, in fact the link The action of the creatures with the plot continues as strong as in the games, in relation to the performance that I already mentioned, it is emotional as the characters develop and reach their limit at the climax of the film.

The visuals are really damn good (though it still can look very cheap at times). The acting is pretty good, though Jodelle Ferland who plays Sharon really isn't.

The film is too long and it loses all momentum whenever it cuts to Sean Bean's character. There's a fanedit that is shorter and removes all of Bean's scenes and apparently it's pretty good, so I might have to give it a watch.

This is a movie that's better to look at than to actually watch. It gets very repetitive and I kept losing interest, but it sure does look creepy.

The sound and music are also very good (though I did notice one line that sounded like it was composited from two different takes and it sounded really bad).

Overall, this is one of the better videogame adaptations, though its flaws still keep it from being more than average, which is still a big step up from other films of its kind.… Expand

Terror en Silent Hill (2006)

Sinopsis: La producción narra la historia de Rose, que desesperada por encontrar una cura para la misteriosa enfermedad de su hija Sharon, rehúsa ingresar a la niña en una institución psiquiátrica a pesar de lasTerror en Silent Hill (2006)

Sinopsis:

La producción narra la historia de Rose, que desesperada por encontrar una cura para la misteriosa enfermedad de su hija Sharon, rehúsa ingresar a la niña en una institución psiquiátrica a pesar de las recomendaciones de los médicos, y decide huir a Silent Hill, un pueblo del que su hija habla constantemente en sueños. A pesar de que su marido Christopher se opone al viaje, Rose está convencida de que la respuesta se encuentra en este misterioso lugar.

Opinión:

Esta es definitivamente una de mis películas favoritas de toda la vida, no estoy de acuerdo en lo absoluto con las malas críticas que recibió en su momento siendo yo también fan de la saga de videojuegos, o al menos de los primeros 3. Creo que el guión es impecable, la historia está bien narrada, la dirección es excelente, el diseño de producción ni se diga, que hayan cambiado la niebla por cenizas me pareció acertado, incluso se ve mas realista. Los personajes también me parecieron muy buenos, aquí tenemos a Rose, la cual no existe en los videojuegos en vez de a Harry Mason, protagonista del juego original, buena representación de Cybil Bennet y la inclusión de Christabella, la cuál cumple el mismo rol que Dahlia Gillespie cumple en el videojuego y esta a su vez su personaje sufre un cambio drástico pero bien recibido, la banda sonora, los Monstruos y el clímax ni se diga, en fin, para mi es impecable de principio a fin pudiendo verla una y otra vez sin aburrirme.

Valoración:

5 ⭐ de 5 ⭐

Existe una secuela, la cual es tan nefasta que no quise mezclarla aquí, la añadiré mas tarde.… Expand

But like all video game movies there is the ambition to have some absolutely unnecessary blockbusters traits. My major complaint is that this movie tries also to appeal to people who have never heard of Silent Hill, it's reasonable, but does this in the wrong way. It spends too much time on literally explaining and breaking the atmosphere completely, instead of giving visual hints or conversations in town on what, why and and how is something happening. Also, some of the lore gets purposely twisted.

But I took a chance and I was surprised by the positive. It's not the best horror movie I've seen, but for anyone who does not know the original game, it's intense. The action takes place in Silent Hill, a ruined village that was abandoned in a hurry after a serious environmental incident, and is now haunted by powerful and cruel supernatural entities linked to the village's past. Here, a young mother searches for her missing daughter, knowing only that she went there. The story begins brilliantly and gets better and better as we watch the succession of scary events at that location. It is as if there is a dark and scary alter-ego of the village that only appears at night. The creatures that are coming up are truly the product of nightmares. By day, it's all quiet but wrapped in permanent, stubborn haze. More frightening, impossible. Of course, the film is packed with stately and well-crafted CGI, just like the sound effects. The script, however, lacks solidity and there are several plot holes that the film simply ignores, leaving unexplained to try to tell a totally ridiculous story involving witches. At a certain point, the whole story of the film can only endure if we ignore the incongruities and focus exclusively on what we are seeing. Radha Mitchell gives life to the main character, the mother who seeks her daughter, but does so in such a forced and implausible way that we can only conclude that it was a mistake to put her in that character. Jodelle Ferland gave life to Sharon and her alter-ego Alessa, the great villain. For such a young actress is undoubtedly a test of versatility, but let's face it, they were not very difficult characters. Sean Bean also appears in the film, but his character is so absurdly misused that the actor ends up almost like figuration.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm gonna be harsh on this because I love the first 3 games, and people are saying this movie follows the story of the game. Well I'm an expert on Silent Hil, and I'm telling you right now, this movie doesn't even come close to the story of the game. It's not even interesting. There's a few interesting visuals and like half of the movie is boring. The story of Silent Hill in the game is about a cult that lives in Silent Hill and they are trying to birth a demon god through one of the members psychic daughter, Alessa. The movie has nothing to do with this. Alessa is good and in the movie they made her the villain? What? They also made Alessa an evil girl who just wants to torture people and kill them. Trust me, if you want to see this movie because you like the games, you will be very disappointed. If you want to see this movie because you think it's good, it's not. Ignoring the source material for this movie, it's just boring and uninteresting.… Expand

The problem with "Silent Hill" is that it lacks balance. Some parts of the film are over-explained while others leave you in a constant "What the f***". Some parts are just too creepy and shocking, while others get a little boring. Some partsThe problem with "Silent Hill" is that it lacks balance. Some parts of the film are over-explained while others leave you in a constant "What the f***". Some parts are just too creepy and shocking, while others get a little boring. Some parts are taken right out of the film, while others seemed added for no good reason. Some acting is very good, while other is very questionable.

This lack of balance is enough to make many people disinterested in the film. Either they think it's too confusing, too gory, too different from the game, too slow, etc.

Although IMO his "Brotherhood of the Wolf" was most definitely a better film, Gans definitely managed to provide something the Silver Screen hasn't seen in a long time : a dark and genuinely creepy Gothic environment with a Clive Barker sense of aesthetics. Too bad the "darkness" had only so little presence in this film, although I guess they had to make it fairly short to make it even remotely possible to survive in there.

In spite of its many flaws, however, I can say I really loved seeing "Silent Hill". It's definitely refreshing after seeing all those cliché American horror films or typical Japanese gore.… Expand

"Silent Hill " was a very scary movie , but almost unexciting , but do not say anything to others, projects at least in script and chilling soundtrack was almost in the attempt.

Silent Hill isn't about jump scares or an incredibly fleshed out story, so why give it an awful score because it lacks those things? I.E. the ''Critic Reviews'' are useless in this particular case, if you are a fan of Silent Hill, you'll at the very least enjoy this movie.… Expand

I've never played the games, and I probably won't, but I was surprised by how much I liked the movie. It was kinda episodic because it's based on a video game, but I thought the movie was really scary and entertaining.

Aburrida y sin tensión, otra película floja sobre videojuegos que, no se como, logra gustar a algunos. Todo es una sucesión de chorradas que no asustan nunca, es una pérdida de tiempo, pese que la atmósfera se parezca a la del juego.

Silent Hill is a very atmospheric movie that does not entirely live up to the epic video games. It is disturbing, it is frightening at times but it is dull and an overlong experience.

Takes many aspects of the video game series, but sadly fails to capture the fear. That being said it's not bad and is definitely worth a look for any fan of the video games. They'll be the ones who will grin at all the references to the gamesTakes many aspects of the video game series, but sadly fails to capture the fear. That being said it's not bad and is definitely worth a look for any fan of the video games. They'll be the ones who will grin at all the references to the games like familiar locations, enemies, and characters. By far the best thing that was taken from the video game and applied to this movie is the soundtrack. Just like in the games it adds to the atmosphere and definitely takes the movie one step further to make it feel like it is Silent Hill.

As you might expect of a video game adaption many liberties were taken with the plot, which is loosely based on the first game. Despite an overall feeling of vagueness, which does clear up as it nears it's end, the plot is much more comprehensible than that of the first game, even if I didn't quite get the ending. Still fans will appreciate the many nods to the source material.

What ultimately hurts the movie is that it's just not scary. Meaning that while fans like myself will be eating up every little thing related to the game series, those unfamiliar with the source material will be left unimpressed and possibly bored. It tries hard to pull outsiders in, but this is a video game movie for the video game fans. Others might want to look elsewhere.

As it stands it's not a good horror movie, but it's good video game movie. One that will delight fans of the series. It's a great display of fan service for anyone familiar with the games, and they're the audience that should check this out. At the end of the day that's what a video game movie should do. Too often games are translated into movies that make mockeries of the games they're based on. Yeah, it might not be scary enough for most horror-movie buffs, but this is the first video game movie I've seen that actually comes pretty darn close to capturing the magic of the game and putting it on a DVD. IT's just a shame the scares aren't there. Still, as a huge fan of the game series I really enjoyed it, and I give it a 7.9/10.… Expand

The special effects and CGI are suitably creepy and really evoke the mood of the video games and overall everything is well directed making for some fairly interesting scenes.. Unfortunately however, despite far too much exposition and explaining of back stories, the plot doesn't make much sense and isn't particularly interesting anyway (something which is even more frustrating since the second video game in the series has a pretty decent storyline) meaning parts of Silent Hill can be a bit of a chore to sit through.

Some horror fans may enjoy it but In the end this is yet another example of a video game license being mis-used.… Expand

The movie also criticizes the society, how people are so horrible. This movie is something more than awesome! The storyline makes sense, the cast is too good, the effects are really good. There are some really intense scenes that are totally worth it! And the creatures? It's just the best movie ever! And it is really emotional too, at least for me. It made me cry.. not only because of Cybil, but because the world we live in is too sad... Thank God the users see this movie with the potential that it really has. But the critics? sad.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1. Of course, its always a good idea to take your child to a place she
has nightmares about.
2. Of course, you should always make a beeline for it wen a cop stops
you from going to said nightmary place (she could've saved you a hell
of a lot of trouble than u cud imagine, but nooo, you have to save your
child by taking her to spooktown....which you have read about in detail
in websites!!)
3. Of course, its a marvelous idea to have a chat with one of the three
witches from Macbeth who looks beyond dead and rotting.
4. Of course, Macwitch has a penchant for quoting inane biblical
phrases.
5. Of course, bust out the chesty lady cop to appeal to the male
demographic.
6. Of course, you should put your hand inside an impossibly twisted
rotting corpse. Ooh, nothing can go wrong there. NOT! (Gosh, leave the
dead and their belongings alone. Its bad enough that they are dead)
7. Of course, the husband gets help from the most unhelpful cop in town
(from the way the cop talks, it looks like he loves puzzles and must
moonlight as a puzzle maker.. And a lousy one at that! Or maybe he's
constipated. Yep, that's it...that's why he talks like that.)
8. At this point, its safe to assume that the mother and daughter are
dead what with the father sniffing out mommy's dang perfume and not
seeing her.
Fun fact= Ideas that the producers thought would make this movie
screwy...er..scary- disabled zombies, paint peeling, mutated bugs
9. Of course, the grim reaper (or whoever that guy who has a short self
esteem and carries a ridiculously big sword to compensate)...yeah, of
course, he has a Toblerone for a head.
10. Of course, by all means let the basket case of a lady accompany
you. She won't be irritating at all, its especially endearing to be
preached at (Hey, newsflash ms.nutty, Moses called, he wanted his lingo
back!)
11. Of course, I fell asleep. (sigh...rewind)
12. Of course,
being holed up with a bunch of Bible thumping freaks who looks as if
they haven't bathed in over a 100 years is always a great idea (I'd go
with Mr.Tobleronehead. At least, that death will b quick)
13. Of course, undertake a quest as proposed by Lady Creeptastic. She must
mean well and care about you.
14. Whoa... McBusty cop dead? (Right at this point, the male
demographic must've left the theater)
15. Of course, more dreary and boring rusty decor (What is this style
called? Urban evil chic?)
16. They've busted out chesty nurse zombies. Of course, the male
demographic are back.
17. Of course, unoriginal flashback bla bla bla shown on old film reels
(You'd think that the dark forces, with all the power they've got
going, would have better quality film reels for flashbacks)
18. Of course, I fell asleep.....again. (Gee, i wonder why?)
19. Of course, the movie's going downhill, so why not add a bucket more of gruesome to
it. Burning a small girl sounds just about right. 20. Whoa! Busty cop's alive? Of course, she is. I mean who wouldn't be, after being whacked on the head with iron pipes. 21. Of course, she's alive only to be burned in the next shot. (Note to producer- stop yo-yoing, **** and make a decision) 22. God, this movie's laaaaame. Kill me now. 23. Dayyum... Mother got sucker punched. Niiice. Of course, she needed that, what with all the bloody useless running around and putting hands in dead ppl and **** 24. Of course, trying to talk sense into a group of fanatics is always a good idea. Sure, they'll listen to u and change their beliefs. 25. This evil entity likes to peel paint. 26. Of course, kill Lady Creeptastic with an unoriginal rectal cleaving and the others with fence wires. 27. Of course, the mother and daughter were dead. U gave that away in the first part itself, moron.… Expand

First the good: if you love..wait let me re-write this so I'm clear....IF YOU LOVE SILENT HILL(game)YOU.WILL.LOVE.THIS.MOVIE.PERIOD!! Silent hill almost perfectly resembles the first game with the exception of the lead characters gender.While I don't have a problem with this change,some hardcore fans of the series will be disappointed but Rachel(aka rose)does great job as she ventures into purgatory(hell?)to save her daughter the adopted sherry.What this movie does correctly(& better)then silent hill revelation is really helping the audience understand the nature of silent hill,characters and what there willing to go through to save their daughter! Rose(rahda) is commanding as she searches relentlessly for sharin will being relentlessly tormented by the evil that lurks around every corner while her husband(played by sean bean) searches for rose.silent hill makes anyone who ventures there suffer until they are killed or worse..become trapped in the eternal nightmare that is silent hill..this is evident when rose reaches the school and when it changes she runs toward the camera pulling on a gate while screaming her lungs out while looking for an exit or when she see's pyramid head any his legion of killer bugs....an exhausted rose gives in waits for her impending fate only to be saved by cebil! This is silent hill in its entirety....to torment you to the point of submission which revelation had neither. Pyramid head in silent hill is much more menacing in the first movie because he's powerful meant to be feared as he rips the skin off a poor soul throws her still warm flesh into the church but is reduced to a mere body guard in revelation...oh god...silent hill also has good pacing. It took its time with each character even if they were expendable which keep the spirit of the games has a MUCH better version of the occult that lived in silent hill vs revelation as the occult seemed like an unimportant afterthought used as filler to extend the movie.The bad:since i played the first games almost everyday the movie was kinda predictable but thats as bad as it was for me. The ending of silent hill,unlike revelation,was a nightmare come true for the damned soul in silent hill as alessa her evil half gruesomely kills the occult zealots inside the church!!The story,pacing,camera angles,sound most importantly...THE ESSENCE OF THE SILENT HILL GAMES ARE DONE PERFECTLY IN THIS DEFINITIVE VERSION OF SILENT HILL FOR THE BIG SCREEN! Skip revelation not only because this one is better but for the fact that at the end of silent hill the good part of alessa was no longer needed was either returned to alessa or killed by the evil that gave alessa the power to create hell that kept the occult rose in silent hill. End of story 8/10… Expand

But unlike the, to me, quite close to disastrous, Resident Evil remakes (although I haven't seen RE: Afterlife yet) I was pretty much surprised about Silent Hill. The atmosphere in the games is amazing. And I think they managed to convert it into the movie pretty well. The acting isn't bad at all either. Jodelle Ferland who seems really talented to me (based on her roles in Kingdom Hospital Tideland) again is pretty steady in this movie although her role is quite small this time. Same as Radha Mitchell and Sean Bean act pretty decent. You can easily imagine the fear Mitchell (Playing the main character) is experiencing during her forced visit to lovely Silent Hill. Like most horror movies nowadays this one isn't outstanding either but it definitely will not waste your time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For all the guys who played Silent Hill, this is a masterpiece. For all the guys who didn't It's still a masterpiece. The thing is, the guys who didn't will never get the plot. It's as deep as the game goes.… Expand

This is the best horror movie ever made the critics obviously have no idea what the words "deep storyline" means this is so true to the game its ridiculous its also one of the only movie based off of a video game that was a good movie insteadThis is the best horror movie ever made the critics obviously have no idea what the words "deep storyline" means this is so true to the game its ridiculous its also one of the only movie based off of a video game that was a good movie instead of things popping out at you every 5 seconds this movie delves deeper then that the beginning starts kinda slow but once you get to silent hill it starts to get interesting the psychological horror is is amazing with flashbacks and hallucinations and with few but huge scares this movie will keep you guessing and want more… Expand

It's just okay. I'm a huge fan of the silent hill series, and there are a lot of things this movie does right such as the art direction and the settings always look great through the whole movie. However there were many changes to the plotIt's just okay. I'm a huge fan of the silent hill series, and there are a lot of things this movie does right such as the art direction and the settings always look great through the whole movie. However there were many changes to the plot that I found unnecessary and caused it to lose the unique touch that the older games had. Also the script writing is very hit and miss, sometimes the dialogue is good, other times it falls flat on it's face. I know SH1 wasn't exactly a shining example of good script writing and voiceovers but that was a game made in the 90s. I will say that it's miles above many of the other game-to-movie adaptations and doesn't just feel like a cheap cash in. It just could have used a lot of improvements and I really wanted to see the actual story of silent hill 1 play out in a movie... I mean how can you make a movie based on the first game and not include Harry Mason?… Expand

I saw this movie again recently. This is a great horror movie: the acting, direction and storyline are all very convincing, and the flawless blend of make-up effects and CGI helps drag you right into the hell that is Silent Hill. The endingI saw this movie again recently. This is a great horror movie: the acting, direction and storyline are all very convincing, and the flawless blend of make-up effects and CGI helps drag you right into the hell that is Silent Hill. The ending is ambiguous; after watching this movie several times since it was released, I still am not sure whether the main characters are dead and in Hell, or alive, and trapped in an alternate dimension somewhere between here and the Devil's realm. I like that it is not explained, so it makes you think, and wonder.... A dark, beautiful, horrifying vision of what can happen when hatred and true Evil meet.… Expand

Though not as emotional or deep provoking as the game series, it packed some good scares, and music to my ears soundtrack but the things that made silent hill fans cry because of the game never appeared in the film but don't be disappointed.

I am not surprised Roger Ebert did not understand the story, it required he actually saw it and Roger do you actually have any functioning synapses? I know complexity to story is rather beyond some film goers these days, so buy it on DVD andI am not surprised Roger Ebert did not understand the story, it required he actually saw it and Roger do you actually have any functioning synapses? I know complexity to story is rather beyond some film goers these days, so buy it on DVD and watch it several times, it may sink in then. This film is an adapted video game and shows great creativity with more creature creations from Patrick Tatapoulos who with Stan Winston have probably created some of the best creatures seen in film. In essence it is a film about revenge on religious zealots who "kill" a child. The young actress who plays three parts I last saw playing a ghost in Kingdom Hospital and clearly has no problem playing highly variable roles from a sweet child to the manifestation of evil.. This film is hauntingl beautiful with great incidentatl music and the ending, well try it.… Expand

This by far was the best horror movie I have seen created in this century. The acting wasn't too bad but there were moments where the characters don't give you the feel of the movie. The monsters were probably the most realistic then any other movie I have ever seen. The atmosphere gives you an eerie feeling. The music was excellent and was played at the right moments. There were parts in the movie that made me think what the hell am I watching. In my personal opinion I thought the movie was perfect.… Expand

A process of illustrating this movie is quite flawless, soulless, and joyless. Of course, the set design of scree translations is too much anomalous from that of the original game.

I dunno. Maybe it's because I used the play the original Playstation game back in the day, but I thought this movie was surprisingly good. It was maybe a little predictable, but whatever. You have to apply a willful suspension of I dunno. Maybe it's because I used the play the original Playstation game back in the day, but I thought this movie was surprisingly good.

Ultimately, I thought the movie made a pretty convincing statement about society on a metaphorical level. Don't take too much stock in what the critics say about this one. Sometimes bad movies can be totally awesome. (Easily one of the best renditions of hell I've ever seen.)… Expand

I found that the critics' low score in Silent Hill to totally unjustified.

I seriously suspect their low scores were more to do with the fact that Silent Hill was adapted from a video game than anything else. I was intially "dragged" into seeing it, and I was under the perception that this would be another of those mindless popcorn movie. I came out of the cinema feeling rather intrigued by it. And let me put this into perspective: I'd never played the game (and I don't plan to) before I saw it nor I was a fan of the horror genre. While I could see why the critics would give low scores to a movie like "Transformers 2", the low scores they gave for Silent Hill showed us that critics could be equally fanboys when it comes to something that they have perceived snobbery upon like video game entertainments. The bottom line is, while Silent Hill may not be any Oscar materials, it definitely is a solid above average horror/suspense/thriller movie.… Expand

Silent Hill was an extraordinary horror film. That. *shock* actually focused on horror, rather then scaring you senseless or portraying as many grotesque maulings as it could.

That. *shock* actually focused on horror, rather then scaring you senseless or portraying as many grotesque maulings as it could. The movie was dramatic, though the acting wasn't perfect, the scenes were amazing. They felt both real, AND terrifying. The plot is not dry at all, in fact, I've few times seen something done that Silent Hill did. While it can be somewhat confusing, that only adds to the mystery and suspense. Instead of having your movie spoon fed to you, it makes you think. I didn't even play the game and I liked it.… Expand
