Creepy and Brilliant

I just saw Silent Hill tonight and was very impressed. The production values were amazing, such as the sets, make up effects, and I definitely got a video game vibe at times (though I've never played the games).

The story was interesting and contained a good twist when it's revealed why the town has turned into the hell hole that it is.

The acting was great, too, on the most part, with a great performance from lead actress Radha Mitchell.

Silent Hill left an unsettling, disturbing feeling on me after I saw it, which I find a lot scarier that the typical slasher-shock flicks. The movie as a whole is genuinely scary, and leaves a lasting effect on you.

Brilliant.
