Silent Hill was like watching someone play a video game, the characters were pretty horrible and the acting was pretty bad for a big budget movie.

On the subject of video game based movies.....House of the Dead was equally as worthless. :rolleyes:

For what it is, I don't think Silent Hill is bad at all. Not brilliant by any means, but entertaining enough. But yes, it did have that video game feel, which just doesn't work very well in films. And even though I don't, I can understand why others would dislike it.

I thought Silent Hill was pretty good...nothing mindblowingly amazing, but it was a fun way to kill a couple hours.

I liked Silent Hill. Not too much, but I liked it. The monsters were cool, the atmosphere was interesting and Alice Krige did a good job. I wish the story were more substantial, but I still think it worked. Especially for a videogame movie.

Absolutely not. When compared to those two, Silent Hill would be a masterpiece. But its a good entertainer, a fun way of killing off 2 hours.

The atmosphere may be video-gamish, but thats what makes it entertaining...because it sustains the stuff from the most chilling video-game ever made, I dare say. I would recommend it.


Righto...this is getting good. People coming forward all keen to bash a movie, others to defend it. I must commend the bashers for putting forward very frank views.

I have read comments made that this movie helped kick a failing genre back into some hyper-activity in the 90s, but others say they found it obnoxious, annoying and boring. What is the real reason behind the haters giving

Scream

such a hard time?

Not a big fan of Scream, I'll watch it when it's on but I won't choose to watch it. The only character I really liked was Jamie Kennedy's.

I actually like Scream. Very refreshing at the time of it's release. Wes Craven brought life back to the Slasher genre in the mid 90's with that film. I liked the old school Horror film stereotypes.
The only thing I hate about Scream is that fuck Skeet Ulrich. That Depp wannabe is a terrible actor. :rolleyes:
