Silent Hill

Horror Movie of the Day, 19 October 2010
Silent Hill (2006)

Alright, my fellow follower, (hee hee) I do not have time to write a full blog today.  Ugh.  I need more time!!!  I'm hoping to update this week's blogs, if not tomorrow, then Thursday.  But, I do have a movie picked for today, and I'll say honestly, I did not like the movie the first time I saw it.  It was, however, scary.  I think I just expected something different.  But then again, I had not played the video game at all.  Silent Hill is scary due to its top notch special effects, effective use of tension, and the fact that the idea for the town is based on a real town.  Let me explain... Rose's (well, and Christopher's, but he's a minor character) daughter Sharon (played by the lovely Jodelle Ferland, who is in the currently screening Case 39) is having night terrors, dangerous ones.  Rose decides that perhaps the secret to what is wrong with Sharon can be found in the city from where she was adopted, Silent Hill.  Thus begins the trek that Rose and Sharon take to Silent Hill.

Well, that doesn't give off a sense of foreboding at all. An open inviting road... to death.  Yup, death.  Fog + creepy kid = death.  And scary.

Unfortunately, Rose crashes the car and is knocked unconscious. When she awakens, she discovers that Sharon is missing.  She must go in search of her daughter, but her car is certainly out of comission.  Before she can head off, a cop shows up, Cybil, and arrests her.  Before they can go anywhere (Cybil's motorcycle is wrecked too... not sure how she planned on getting Rose to the police station... not very bright this one...), some strange, creepy creature shows up to attack them...

And again... I must be off! I will update... again... hopefully tomorrow or Thursday.

Until then...

Go forth in fear!
