Silent Hill / USA / 2006

Rusted industrial interiors, a hospital strewn in ancient surgical equipment, a classroom coated in a layer of ash: these locations comprise much of Silent Hill, which looks like it has not been touched by a human finger in decades. This environment is probably appropriate to the videogame on which this film is based (which I’ve not played) because you’re inclined to investigate every decrepit corner within. It makes for quite a picturesque film, however, even if you spend its entirety looking over the shoulder of Rose, who, naturally, has lost her child in this ghost town. A departure from Christophe Gans’ prior — and magnificent — Le Pacte des loups, Silent Hill is neither thrilling nor horrific, but its set design and photography is exemplary.
