Silent Hill (2006)

"Silent Hill" is a fun and visually enticing horror film that was adapted from the the game series of the same name. Knowing that is it adapted from a video game allows for enough room for the movie to move along and get to the heart of the story without having to explain all of the little details that might be demanded for in a typical horror flick. Who and what are these different creatures that are stalking the heroine isn't important, just the fact that she is being chased by such creatures is. Never having played the game before, my only impression is purely what the movie provides and I liked what I saw. The cast is solid and delivers an entertaining performance while the eye candy is tasty and delicious.

Rose and Christopher are the adoptive parents of nine year old Sharon. Sharon sleepwalks, draws eerie pictures, and talks in her sleep about a town called Silent Hill. Looking for answers, Rose takes Sharon without Christopher knowing to Silent Hill...where things quickly go out of control. First Rose has a car accident and awakens to find that Rose has wandered off, and then she is confronted with police officer Cybil (played by Laurie Holden from "The Walking Dead"). They are suddenly attacked by one of the creatures that roam Silent Hill. Rose continues her quest to find Sharon and the mystery that surrounds her daughter and the curse that haunts Silent Hill. What are those air sirens about? How many demons are there to hide from? Why are there demons? And why does ash constantly fall from the sky?
