Another film adaptation of a popular video console game, but one that'll actually scare so much you'll search for the pause button.
Silent Hill takes a fair stab at producing a three dimensional story without the use of hand controls while retaining key elements of the game's format.
A young mother, Rose (Radha Mitchell), is desperate to find a cure for her daughter Sharon's illness. Going against the wishes of her husband Christopher (Sean Bean), she decides to flee with Sharon and head to Silent Hill, the town her daughter speaks of when she's sleeping, convinced that's where she'll find the answer and cure to the mysterious illness.
As their car approaches the eerie town, it swerves and crashes to avoid a mysterious figure in the road. When Rose surfaces, after being knocked unconscious, she discovers Sharon has gone and heads into the town on a frantic search. She discovers a place that is smothered by fog, inhabited by strange people and that her lost daughter is being used as a pawn in a much larger game.
All credit to the director for being able to turn a classic game into a much more rounded story, that is thrilling and genuinely scary.
