silent hill na!

Yay!

For years, videogamers have explored the dark side of a mysterious town called Silent Hill. Now's your chance to see why many of them haven't come back. Of course, you may hear the words "videogame adaptation" and justifiably flinch in terror, but hear this: Silent Hill is groundbreaking, at least in being the first such film of any cinematic merit whatsoever. When Radha Mitchell loses her daughter in an abandoned mining town, things quickly go from bad (lost daughter!) to worse (forebodingly foggy town!) to absolutely unspeakable (unspeakable horror!). Silent Hill's dense plotting and troublesome, occasionally feckless dialogue don't do the audience any favors, and writer Roger Avary, who obviously wants us to take this seriously, ought to know a little better. Still, the pervasive sense of horror--aided by atrocities both human and supernatural and a clear refusal to bow to convention--can't be underestimated. The film's terrifying disintegrations into pure nightmare--and the hideously warped denizens of one city's private hell--are what you'll remember: murderous refugees that might have come from Francis Bacon's darker fantasies, wandering a hallucinatory village of the damned. Love it or hate it, this is one former videogame that isn't playing around.
