Yup! You want my quick-and-dirty review?\n\nI quite liked it. The visuals were amazing, and all the creatures gave me the shivers. The cinematography was pretty spectacular as well. There were a few issues I had with it; the characters did dumb things in order to speed up the pace, and the whole premise seemed rather improbable (well, I guess it makes more sense once you watch the rest of the movie, but when I saw the beginning I thought "yeah, right"). Also, the climax didn't really interest me. It was certainly gruesome, but it really wasn't scary. Some of the lines were silly as well.\n\nSo, to sum up: it's a good movie, but it needs to be parodied. PRONTO.

See the original.  I love a good horror and suspense but this wasn't scary or suspenseful.  There were a few scenes where the filmmakers throw out some stuff that makes you jump in your seat a little, but it's really just the shock of going from the slow boring stuff, to a dog jumping out of no where.\n\nI love the original movie.  This remake was for the most part poorly acted by the cast, with the exception of mia farrow and Liev Schreiber.  There were also a few scenes where most of the audience was laughing and it was obvious that the director did not intend for the scene to be humorous in any way.  The director was actually in attendance and i felt really bad for him.\n\nI would never tell anyone not to go see a movie, you should see it and form your own opinion.  But, don't expect too much!

Silent Hill was a Disapointment. Listen to the Critics and rent it.

The 2 that answered you previously are wrong. The 2 were not dead because if they were the police woman wouldnt have been burned to death. You cant die again after your dead and that would have defeated the whole purpose of the movie if you think about it. True they were still stuck in hell. If you had actually played all of the games they would see that once youve been to Silent Hill you will always be affected by it. 1, the little girl got possessed at the end of the movie because she opened her eyes. 2 Since she did get posessed at the end she was the reason that they were still stuck in the hell dimension (you can tell she got possessed  once you see that  she never even speaks again after she opens her eyes even when her mother says I LOVE YOU). 3 there is going to be a sequel. If they were dead then that would mean that all the people that got killed in the church were dead too (b 4 they got murdered). But you can't die twice so they are NOT dead. If thats not the case then someone needs to rewrite that script because nobody in the games that were in the foggy silent hill was dead\nPlay the 2nd game

i saw it yesterday. it was hilarious! the part with the grudge with the sterotype japenese was funny. i thought it was good, but not the best. i can't really compare it to the others cuz i only saw this one and the third. but it was still good.

Yes, It's "supposedly" based on true events!!\n\nWHAT MOVIES.COM SAYS ABOUT THE MOVIE:\nTwo hundred years ago in Tennessee, a demon called Old Kate takes up residence with the family of John Bell (Donald Sutherland). It torments them, and even causes a man's death. A local schoolteacher, Richard Powell (D'Arcy), witnesses the events and writes them down for his daughter.\n\nI saw this movie tonight. I was pleasantly surprised because this movie was GREAT!!!! My favorite genre of movie is suspenseful/thrillers (psychological) movies, and this movie had the BEST ending, my jaw almost hit the floor!! LOL I would not classify this movie has a horror movie, it's more of a thriller. So for those of you who want to see a scary movie (it had a few scary moments...there were some jumps and screams in the theater) this may not be the movie for you.

I dont want to ruin it for others but I do recommend playing silent hill 4.  It brings them all together and explains a lot.  My fave was 2 though.

Audition.\n\nIt's a Japanese flick.  A bit hard to find, but worth it.\n\nI've seen most major American horror flicks...but Audition makes my skin crawl.  There were actually scenes that I had trouble watching!  (Yes, I watched the hobbling scene in Misery without a problem.)\n\nThis movie is worth watching.  The begining is a bit slow....but stick with it.  It's really worth it!  Genius flick!

Rent it and find out.... It's a great stop-action film by Tim Burton.  \n\nJack Skellington, the pumpkin king of Halloween Town, is bored with doing the same thing every year for Halloween. One day he stumbles into Christmas Town, and is so taken with the idea of Christmas that he tries to get the resident bats, ghouls, and goblins of Halloween town to help him put on Christmas instead of Halloween -- but alas, they can't get it quite right.\n\nDefinitely worth the time and effort!

Yeah, just caught it opening night. For a horror movie it was real good. For a Video Game movie, it was freaking awsome! Well acted (as in all the characters were believable, and you could buy it was happening to them), mostly mood as opposed to a gorefest, but when they do the gore, wow, they went for it. (The audience was flipping out...I'm a little jaded...) They managed to have just enough of the patented "twist" when they reveal the core of the story left unsaid that they managed to slip some stuff by me too...\n\nOn the whole, I'd give it 3.5 stars out of 4, or to put it more plainly, see it at a matinee showing, or if you have one in your area, see it at a drive in (in other words, not worth 10 bucks, but definately catch it on the big screen if at all possible.)

Before I answer, let me say that my brother-in-law is fire chief in Shanksville so responded to the crash.  As a result, I have seen all the immediate after photos so this movie was important for me to see.\n\nYes, I felt the movie was based on fact.  It is well done and not at all exploitative.  I think all Americans should see it.  Those people really were heroes and I would like to think, in the same situation, that I would choose to go down fighting and not just let it happen.\n\nNot a sound was heard in the theatre during the entire film.  I have never been in such a silent theatre.  I also don't think there was a dry eye in the place.  The movie is very emotional and makes you feel like you are right there with them.\n\nOne warning, the movie will be difficult for those that get migraines from extreme motion.  The film is very jittery...like the Blair Witch Project.

I really liked it though. I don't think it was really meant to be "scary". Just made me think of life. Of course I thought that guy was sick, but you know. Like he said, he didn't kill them, they killed themselves and each other. \nI liked the second better than the first. More people I guess, and that twist at the end. It was cool.

Yes.  It was really good.  Usually, sequels are horrible, but this one has new material that is as good as the first, but not redundant.  It has a really good twist at the end.  A lot of it is pretty freaky.  Without spoiling it for you, there's something in it that has scared me from ever checking to see who is at the door!\n\nI really suggest picking it up and giving it a chance.

This movie was a beautifully created film.  The cinematography alone made it well worth the cost of a ticket.  The costuming was beautiful, artful and relatively authentic.  As long as you are/were willing to sit through the length of the movie, it was very well done.\n\nI do agree that the use of a Chinese actress versus a Japanese actress was not the brightest call, but unfortunately, most Americans really don't recognize the differences (very sad, but also true.)\n\nI loved the story, though now that I have it on DVD, I tend to skip over the beginning where she's a child (except for the flavored ice scene - it's just beautiful).  I really love watching the development of the characters.\n\nWhile a lot of people think it isn't worth renting over and over again, let alone owning, I see it as a beautiful rendition of a lost part of history.  And to think - the book was written by a man! Go figure!
