When her father disappears, Heather Mason is drawn into a strange and terrifying alternate reality that holds answers to the horrific nightmares that have plagued her since childhood.
Director: Michael J. Bassett
Stars: Sean Bean, Radha Mitchell, Carrie-Anne Moss, Adelaide Clemens
THE BUZZ: For some of us, Silent Hill was a dark-arts homework assignment as murky/foggy as the original video game, but its overall mood and memorable sequences made it a worldwide hit. (Pyramid Head was an underutilized terror, the climatic barbed-wire bloodfest scene was worth the wait, and Laurie Holden looked great as a lady cop in leather.) Six years later, an upstart distributor takes over the reins for the sequel's US release, and the storyline seems to be even more dense than the original, with Sean Bean playing two different characters and Radha Mitchell potentially still stuck in a different reality than her husband. We can almost hear the voiceover explaining everything during the intro credits, and we cannot wait to for some hopefully over-the-top acting from Malcolm McDowell and Carrie-Anne Moss.
