This film is based off Silent Hill 3 created by Konami, and is a direct sequel to the film Silent Hill (directed by Christophe Gans). Heather Mason finds herself having visions of a town known as Silent Hill (an alternate hell dimension). After her father disappears, she travels with Vincent to find her missing father in Silent Hill.

This film was directed by Michael J. Bassett. This film is a direct on screen representation of the Silent Hill 3 game-no other way around it. It the game and changed it slightly to better fit as a sequel to the first film. I can see why it got negative reviews from critics, because this film was made more for lovers of the franchise. The story might appear confusing, because a lot of things are happening in this 94 minute film. If you've played the game it is easier to understand it. It also allows fans to pick up all the small tributes to the game franchise, and the familiar characters that appear in the end. The story follows Heather Mason, whose name is actually Sharon. In this film she wasn't reincarnated, but instead managed to escape Silent Hill, and grow into a young adult. This film follows her discovery of her own past. I think this film didn't fully pay attention to the small details that could've pieced it together much easier. But, it did a great job in creating a film sequel. This film does amp up the gore by a lot, and provides plenty of horror tension. It provides several disturbing sequences. So, this film is not for children. The creatures in this film were done amazingly well. They created several familiar monsters from the video games. They also created an awesome amped up mannequin spider villain, and a twist on the missionary monster in this film. It was also great how the monsters played with the 3D effects.

The cast worked great together. It was also great that most of the former cast returned for this remake. Although, it is a shame that Jodelle Ferland did not return. Adelaide Clemens played the role of Heather Mason/Alessa. She was great in her role. She created the iconic character perfectly, and gave the film a strong heart. Kit Harington played the role of Vincent. He was good in his role. His character is different from the game. But, he was good in his role providing a new image for the character. Sean Bean played the role of Harry Mason/Christopher Da Silva. He was great re-praising his role. Carrie-Ann Moss played the role of Claudia. It is unfortunate that her character didn't appear more in the film. Her being in only the final few minutes kept her from being a true villain unfortunately. Malcolm McDowell played the role of Leonard. He was great in his small role.

I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! I really enjoyed this film. Granted, its probably because I'm a fan of the franchise. It is also a good thriller film for the holidays.

 Answer to last blog: Director Steven Soderbergh and actor Tatum Channing, Magic Mike, worked together on the film Haywire.
