Silent Hill (R)
Radha Mitchell, Sean Bean

Based on the popular horror video game, Silent hill is the story of Rose, who decides to take her adopted daughter to a town that her daughter has been having nightmares about. The two get into an accident after being chased by a police officer. When Rose comes to she finds her daughter missing, and frantically searches the town. During her search she encounters a cop that is simply too hot for her own good, a crazy homeless woman, and a crazy cult bent on burning witches. Rose finds out that this town has a dark past that is responsible for the horrors that the town has to offer.

Having never played the game, I didn’t know what to expect from this film. As a movie, standing on its own, I thought it was pretty good. The effects were very good, the imagery was disturbing, and the story was solid. Don’t go in to the theatre expecting a lot of crazy plot twists, but you will be surprised by some of the details of the story. The only thing that I found disappointing about the film was the lack of nudity that I find to be paramount in any real horror film. That aside, I thought that this film did the job well.

Conclusion: Hottie cop. B+
