Silent Hill

I disagree. the pacing was terrible. everytime it gets exciting, it slows down with scenes of the husband and detective.

DARKNESS IS COMING!

yeah, i agree about that, we could have done without. it's just sort of this tack-on thing thats more of a breather than anything interesting and could totally be cut out.

but it didnt really bug me. it was more like "ok sure.. now back to pyramid head and the growing nervous breakown of being stuck in a place so completely FUCKED."

which was done well *golf clap*

You know I'm that poor that I can't even afford a trip to the cinema at the moment. Though this has forced me to re-evaluate my situation. PH is the shiznit.

Only one word came to mind: NO. Left one hour into it and snuck into MiIII, again: NO. Thank god we bought the massive, guargantune popcorn and soda's with free refills or we would have starved, bored to death. Not enough green ginger in the world could have saved our night.

Shame. I've just seen it and whilst I wasn't anywhere near walking out I do appreciate that the first half is pretty slow. I thought the whole thing was pretty good however, and much better than I had expected. Cast was a bit limp (particularly that little girl) though the dark was brilliantly realised and the gore was grade A stuff. Aside from a few jumps the only real scares came from the mentality of the people in the church which was very reminiscent of The Wicker Man to me. The last 20 minutes were fucking ace. A nice smattering of cap doffs to the games too without being annoying for those who haven't played them (i.e. Lisa the nurse - that shit with the bleeding eyes scared the fuck out of me in the first game).

I liked it.

Oh fuck, I forgot all about 'Colin' crawling about all hog-tied with barbed wire. That was the best SH moment in here for me. Genuine horror and revulsion swept over me at that point.

Oh, ripping peoples skin off is AWESOME.
