It has been 6 years since the release of the first Silent Hill movie and fans have been eagerly waiting for a sequel. Now, we finally have one, and boy is it a let down. First off, this movie isn't so terrible as I'm making it seem. Heather Mason's cosplay was pretty accurate and they got close with Claudia Wolfe. It did have "some" good acting in it. It also started off good. However, the spoiling of what would have been a good twist to those who have not played Silent Hill 3 could have been easily done without especially since it was made in the first 15 minutes. The character Vincent was introduced well, but he said a lot of really bold things to Heather Mason for someone that just met her such as "I don't want anything bad to happen to you." Once the characters made their way into Silent Hill, the story just started to get really messy. Heather started coming out of character, there were pop out scare tactics so cheesy even William Castle would have thought were corny, and when Heather enters a room of mannequins, we all start to think "Oh, looks like we're actually gonna see Pyramid Head rape some mannequins!" Instead, we get more cheesy scare tactics and a character written in only to be killed off almost instantaneously. Also, our big climax was a poorly edited fight scene between Pyramid Head and the antagonist and our protagonist just watching. Yeah. The dorky hugging that only last a few minutes was not good enough to be the climax of the story? And to top it off, they presented an ending that was bland to those not fans of the game, and hysterical to those who are. If you wanna see, be my guest. I think fans of the games would appreciate it. If you haven't played the games, you might want to sit this one out. It's one of those films you watch on Netflix with your friends just to make terrible puns all through the night.
