Say what you will about this film, every expectation I had was completely satisfied. Silent Hill reminded me that I like horror movies. The storywas very well played out and made what turned out to be a mundane plot seemed inspired as it was slowly being revealed to us. A lack of nudity sufficiently distinct from a gruesome evisceration scene will hold this back from lasting success in the genre. Particularly disappointing was the busty cop who managed to keep her clothes on all the way up to her gruesomely depicted death. The directors managed to salvage her role by prominently displaying her smoking corpse in the background of the entire following scene. Two of the roles I noticed in the credits were "Armless Man" and "Slashing Dark Nurse". I'm pretty siked for A Scanner Darkly.
