About Silent Hill....well I realy likes the game saga, I've passed all the games etc so when I saw this film I realy enjoyed the first hour but when the cult appears....the film changes from a horror film into a monty python film (it's a witch!!!). I give to this film 3 over ten points
About Hard Candy, well it's a hard impact film but when I try to remember all the plot behind the images I realiced that it was weak. A sadic girl have a date with a photographer. The girl knows that this man has killed another girl just before her (but how the fuck she knows that?) and the must part of the film are sustented on all the tortures that this girl inflected to this man....on the biggest scenne I've to close my eyes (I think that every man that saw this, they have done the same). Nothing for me 3/10

Maybe something was lost in translation... but... I have to strongly disagree with "(but how the fuck she knows that?)". It's explained in the film, and is actually one of the most chilling statements in the final scenes.
In case you missed it, or didn't make the connection, here's how she knew Jeff was involved.
She "hunted" another before Jeff, a pedophile by the name of Eric. She, I presume, followed the same acts out on him that she did to Jeff, and as she states... Eric gave her the name of Jeff. In the questioning scenes, when Jeff reveals he didn't kill the girl, but only took pictures... she replies with "Funny, Eric told me the same thing before he killed himself."
Personally I'd give the film an 8, and it's definately on the "top films of the year" list for me.
