Synopsis: Heather Mason / Sharon Da Silva (Adelaide Clemens) and her father Harry/Christopher (Sean Bean) are on the run from a cult group that wants her back to Silent Hill, but Heather does not fully understand the entire situation. When her father is kidnapped by the cult group, she is determined to come to Silent Hill to save him and learn the truth about herself and the nightmares that haunted her for so long...
I'm not a gamer, so I'm not aware of the existence of the Silent Hill video game series until recently. Anyway, one doesn't have to be a fan of the video game series to enjoy the thrill ride through "hell" conveyed by this movie.
The visuals are dark and creepy; and the atmosphere of gloominess and uneasiness as expected from a video game adaptation is always heavy in the air.
In fact, this movie somehow reminds me of A Nightmare of Elm Street - horrific nightmares, imagination versus reality, monsters, and everything scary.
In a nutshell, do add this horror flick to your movies-for-Halloween list. It may not be the best horror movie this year but it has its fair share of scares and horror to scare non-horror movie goers. :)
