Silent Hill
Much to my dismay, my daughters love this video game and LOVED this movie. I finally sat down and watched it with them the other night. It sucked. It sucked so bad that my ears are still popping. This ambitious piece of shit proves once and for all that films based on the plots of video games, much like the saga of Britney Spears and K-Fed, are crushing the soul of America. Good night and good luck.
2/10 - that includes 2 stars for set dressing.
