THEY SAY
Based on the Konami game of the same name.
The eerie and deserted ghost town of Silent
Hill draws a young mother desperate to find a cure for her only child's
illness. Unable to accept the doctor's diagnosis that her daughter should
be permanently institutionalized for psychiatric care, Rose (Radha
Mitchell) flees with her child, heading for the abandoned town in search
of answers — and ignoring the protests of her husband (Sean Bean). It's
soon clear this place is unlike anywhere she's ever been. It's smothered
by fog, inhabited by a variety of strange beings and periodically overcome
by a living Darkness that literally transforms everything it touches. As
Rose searches for her little girl, she begins to learn the history of the
strange town and realizes that her daughter is just a pawn in a larger
game.
WE SAY
This horror/fantasy movie about a mother trying to find her daughter in
another dimension and is forced to bargain with a demonized version of her
daughter in order to get her back might just deliver some chills . . .
