Hannah's blog: Silent Hill

The black soot in the beginning and the fog inflicts fear,
the colours used are very dull and morbid and the music is very old based and puts the viewers on edge.
The sirens which were initially used in war to warn people that a raid was coming,was used in this film to wan the people that the monsters are coming.Also the use of old footage makes viewers uneasy and gives them a sense of foreboding and foreshadowing.The graphics are extraordinary in this move and the whole film is very well done. It is a very evil an dark film which shows a lot of conflict.

In brief, the whole story is about how Rose Da Silva (Radha Mitchel) goes into Silent Hill to find her daughter Sharon(Jodelle Ferland). But little did she know, Sharon literally had a split personality who was called Alessa. Later on in the story we find out that Alessa was tortured by Christabella (Alice Krige)who was one of the founders of the church in that town. Rose does everything in her power to get Sharon back and in the end she finally does. but unfortunately they never leave Silent Hill and are trapped in another world.

Also the costume used for Alessa is very old looking and vintage, it fits well for her part. It is also very interesting how the Pyramid Heads costume is like a butcher apron. I shall definitely keep them in mind for my final piece.
