silent hill:what the hell


Sony Pictures describes "Silent Hill" as an Action/Adventure, Suspense/Horror and Adaptation film. The movie is based off of the video game under the same title. Based off of the popular video game(s) and comic book(s), Sony decided to create a movie. A brief synopsis is as follows:
After the continuous sleep walking episodes of Sharon, the young daughter of Rose Da Silva, the decision is made to take Sharon to the place only mentioned in her restless dreams- Silent Hill. However, the road to Silent Hill is anything but easy to access, and Rose creates a high speed chase between herself and a police officer only to end in a crash for them both. When she wakes up, Sharon has disappeared and Rose is at the entrance to the deserted, dream-like town of Silent Hill. A woman named Rose, desperate to find her child Sharon, finds herself trapped in an alternate dimension as she searches for her daughter in a world of decay inhabited by strange beings. Over the protests of her husband, she flees with her child, heading for an abandoned town to which the child seems drawn. Sharon disappears in the town, and Rose follows what she thinks is her daughter's silhouette into what seems like an alternate reality. It's soon clear this place is not like 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. Joined by Cybil, a local police officer, Rose searches for her little girl while learning the history of the strange town and realizing .

Within this movie, most of the main characters are women. The following is a list of photo's and names of characters in the movie.









-Rose Da Silva









- Sharon/Alessa











- Cybil Bennett











- Dahlia Gillespie











- Christopher Da Silva

The movie is made of many scenes containing Cybil and Rose on a quest to find Sharon. The first time the audience sees Cybil is at a gas station. She pulls up to the station on a motorcycle in a tight leather outfit. Thoughout the movie we see Cybil in a tight police uniform with, unusual pair of high-shine, glossy leather pants and an extra tight shirt.







Set out to be seen as a lesbian, Cybil stood out as a woman who is as strong as a man. She protected Rose till her the very end of her life. Accused of being a witch by Silent Hill citizens, Cybil was burend on a ladder.

Other then the dynamics held between Rose and Cybil, there were many scenes where women's breast were out of this world. Rose, Cybil, Dahlia, the bed side nurse, and the group of nurses all had shoots where their breast were front and center. It just didn't make any sense what so ever.

This movie upset me for a few reasons:
1. It wasn't well written. A lot of key elements were left out while adapting this once comic book and video game to the big screen.
2. Too many breast shoots. To be a horror movie I saw so many push-bras being used in costume I thought I was seeing porn or the Nelly "Tip Drill" video, it was crazy.
3. I paid to see it and I want my money back.
