I just watched this and really have no clue what it was supposed to be about.  The fact that I saw the original in the theater should help, you'd think, but...

Damn, this is some terrible film making on display here.  Writer/Director Michael J. Bassett should be ashamed or maybe this is a good effort for him?  I don't know, but IMO, he sucks.

$20 Million budget and somehow, this stinker actually made $52 Million at the WWBO.  That's just not right.

I have to say this again - why, oh why do film makers/Producers/Executives cast actors in their mid twenties to play 17 year old High schoolers?  It's just so silly and stupid.

Our main Protag here,  Adelaide Clemons, looks like Michelle Williams' younger sister. Shocking how much she resembles her.

Lots of very ugly, horrific images on display and not a single one of them has anything to do with...well, anything, really.  Just one after another of these images and "scenes" that go nowhere and mean nothing.

Terrible in every way.  Poor FX work, terrible acting, horrific writing (dialogue), and all around senseless, meaningless waste of time.

Piss poor is just about every way imaginable.

I agree with Jeff. This movie really sucked. The main girl was hot though...

That's a shame to hear, Jeff. Not surprising at all, but the original had a good bit going for it. Avary's script became a complete disaster in the third act, but the acting was fine and the set design was really good. I am a bit surprised to hear it made $52 million worldwide, though.

I was drawn to the first film due to the talent of the director - Christoph Gans did that outstanding genre hybrid Brotherhood Of The Wolf - but over the years, the first Silent Hill film has, for me, become less interesting. I rolled the dice on the sequel, even though Gans walked away from it.

Silent Hill 2 is a piece of junk. It makes the first film look that much better.
I think it's time to give movies based on video games a rest.
They just aren't working.

If there is a Hill 3, I suspect it'll go DTV/VOD.
If not right in the ashcan.
