 'Silent Hill' - This movie is 127 minutes long. Why? - Zap2it
Instead, under the careful watch of Christophe Gans ("Brotherhood of the Wolf"), "Silent Hill" is utterly nonsensical, abusively overlong and painfully performed by its entire cast.
Meanwhile, in the real Silent Hill, husband Christopher (Sean Bean) is wandering the streets yelling his wife's name and learning huge blocks of exposition from a very badly acted police officer (Kim Coates).
Rose's journey through Silent Hill takes her from creepy bowling alley to creepy school to creepy hotel to creepy church and the only thing guiding her is an innate ability to know that a key clue is inside a corpses mouth or that a secret chamber is behind an old painting.

The makers of Silent Hill have two things going in their favor: they're making a game based on a well-loved game franchise, and they're making a horror movie.
There are a few clues about her illness, with one of them being her screaming the name "Silent Hill." Being the modern folk they are, her family does some quick Googling to find out that Silent Hill is a ghost town, the victim of out-of-control coal fires that are still burning beneath the streets.
Silent Hill, at its best, succeeds as a horror movie better than almost any other film in the genre in recent memory.

 'Silent Hill' - Zap2it
"Silent Hill" is the latest cinematic adaptation of a video game, and for a change, "cinematic" is the operative word.
Given that the story is about a desperate mother's frantic journey through hell in search of her missing daughter, it seems like there should be a little more urgency to the goings-on.
Radha Mitchell, as the mother, gives a pretty good performance, mixing panic and resolve to convincing effect; also surprisingly strong is "X-Files" veteran Laurie Holden, as a motorcycle cop who responds to the increasingly bizarre situation by standing her ground and shooting back at it.

Silent Hill is the latest crossbreed of video game and horror, a genre which has had some trouble of late, as this year’s BloodRayne and 2005’s Alone in the Dark failed to make even a small dent at the box office (not to mention the nearly unanimous condemnation of critics, ouch).
Silent Hill took the video game world by storm when it was released for Playstation back in 1999 by Konami.
Another cool element of this film is that it doesn’t just borrow the video game’s name, it actually feels like a video game at times, as we collect inventory, open passageways, dodge obstacles and, of course, fight monsters.

 MovieCrypt.com » Review: ‘Silent Hill’
Silent Hill is based on the video game of the same title, but I’ve neither played the game nor seen it played, so my initial impressions of film were through the advertising and trailers just like many other folks.
While the mystery of Silent Hill is the glue that ties the horror together, a love for the kinds of twisted evil plots about outcasts and sin is the guise it wears.
Silent Hill doesn’t rely on the games as a crutch to help it stand and even as far as horror movies go, SH pretty much is of its own ilk.

 The Cinematheque - 2006 Reviews / Silent Hill
Silent Hill is just about everything one might expect from a movie based upon a video game - a style over substance exuberance fit perfectly for the rather philistine mindset of those who typically play video games - and I am sure the genre itself would not allow anything else.
Silent Hill also fits in perfectly typical Christophe Gans style - as in his previous film, Le Pacte des loups (Brotherhood of the Wolf) - all guts and no glory - a visually stylized slap in the face with no real meaning or essentiality behind said slap.
Of course once mother and daughter get to Silent Hill, the requisite creepy-assed little girl in a pretty outfit walks out onto the road and the mayhem begins.

"The Silent Brotherhood" is certainly a good read, and is also extremely well-researched, but "Brotherhood of Murder" by Thomas Martinez is even better, as it is a firsthand account.
