Silent Hill

Keeping Akira Yamaoka’s ost from the games was the appropriate decision—the soundtrack gives me inner restfulness during harsh or even peaceful days; providing Silent Hill with enough seclusion and contentment during all of its metallic, hellish nightmare. Gans’ shear talent of immersing into full video game territory in its set-pieces and camerawork that invokes Team Silent’s vision to the core. A relic of its time and further proof that Gans’ Silent Hill remains the best entry in video game adaptations that we’ve gotten over the years.   “Mother is God in the eyes of a child.”
