Title: Eerie & atmospheric, but too little action
Review: (2 & 1/2 stars) In the past I've enjoyed some of the movies made from video games - the 1st Resident Evil flick comes to mind - but this Silent Hill was just a little too lifeless for me. The LOOK of the picture is intriguing, with some relatively strong horror effects. However, there are too many scenes of people just walking around, not really doing anything. To put it another way, when the lead character sees the monsters, she usually just screams and runs away. She rarely does anything to combat them. And there were too many things in the plot that made no sense. The Silent Hill movie just never really grabbed me.
Is the review positive or negative?
