Silent Hill (2006) 5/10

Starring : Radha Mitchell, Sean Bean, Laurie Holden, Deborah Kara Unger, Kim Coates, Tanya Allen, Alice Krige, Jodelle Ferland
Director : Christophe Gans
Running Time : 126 mins

Rose Da Silva (Mitchell) runs away with her daughter Sharon (Ferland) to the small town of Silent Hill to prevent the young girl from being committed to an insane asylum due to her suffering from somnambulism which puts her in constant danger, but Rose discovers that the town has been all but abandoned, and that strange zombie like creatures have been kidnapping the town's children and may have now taken hers.

Horror movies should not be this long, especially when the horror blatantly starts so early on with little or no build up. Mitchell is a weak lead, one of the weakest actors in Pitch Black, and spends most of the movie just wandering around the large sets. Stylistically this is an impressive movie, but plot wise there isn't enough substance to stretch its plot as far as it went.
