"Silent Hill" *1/2 (out of four): Ambitious video game adaptation which stubbornly embraces gore and resists narrative coherence.
A quick note to horror film screenwriters: in a post-“The Osbournes” world, please refrain from naming the missing little girl in your script “Sharon”. It tends to bring to mind Ozzy’s uniquely incomprehensible warble when your protagonist is desperately running around screaming for her daughter. Not exactly the kind of feeling you want to evoke during a horror film like “Silent Hill”, the latest, most ambitious and perhaps least comprehensible video game adaptation in recent memory.
