Misleading title, although Washington is brilliant in his portrayal of a guilt-stricken alcoholic pilot. I thought the film was at least 30 minutes too long and contained sequences which were unnecessary for the premise.

Despite what anyone says, I am a huge fan of the video-game series and an ardent lover of the original film. Needless to say, I simply loved this sequel! Can't get enough of this surreal, nightmarish vision of the known world and the unknown ones of Silent Hill. I really, really hope they turn this into a good franchise (there are plenty of hints dropped at the end about where the story might go). At least it's got a decent journey ahead of it, unlike the Resident Evil franchise which has nose-dived to nowhere.

BTW, Pyramid Head rules! I am definitely getting the BD.
