Finallly got around to seeing Silent Hill last night. I kept waiting for the movie to scare me, but was left wanting. Pyramid Head was too obvious, the whole creepy little girl thing has been overdone, and the disfigured dead were just goofy. I miss scary movies that actually scared me like The Wicker Man, Alien, and The Exorcist. Am I jadded? Recent scary movies have been rich with formula and CGI, and lacking in story and believability (even Alien was believable on some level, because of the excelent acting, and perfect directing).
