Silent Hill: Revelation tops my list as the worst movie of
2012
It’s getting a little colder outside and one of the best
things for me to combat the chilly weather is Hot Chocolate. I love a good cup
when it starts getting cold out. There is something so simple and comforting
about it. So one day, a few years back, I was in New York for work on one of
the coldest days of the year and decided that a nice cup of coco would hit the
spot just right. I placed my order, waited, and was finally given this overly complicated
monstrosity of a drink. It didn’t even have a top on it because it was so full.
It had whipped cream, sprinkles, some kind of glaze and was topped with a
cherry. After digging through the mess for a while, trying to just get a sip of
coco, I finally threw it away because it just wasn’t worth the hassle. I can’t
think of a better comparison for this movie. It took something that was simple
and unique with Silent Hill (2006) and destroyed it with a contrived story, bad
acting and poor effects...and a cherry on top.
Storyline: What do you do when you can’t trust the world
around you? That is a question that is plaguing Heather Mason (Clemens). Her
vivid dreams of a place called Silent Hill and the horrific monsters that she
sees when alone make her question everything about her life. When her father
(Bean) is taken in the night, and a strange message is left that tells her to
go back to Silent Hill, she embarks on a journey to save him. But when she
arrives at the town she is quickly confronted with the truth of who she really
is and how she is connected with the town of Silent Hill.
What is going on with “scary movies” this year? Between this
and Paranormal Activity 4 I actually
had pretty high hopes for a few good Halloween scares. They just keep getting
it wrong this year, and this movie is the worst offender.
Worth the admission? I wouldn’t even recommend renting this
from RedBox when it comes out. This movie is HORRIBLE. They couldn’t have
gotten this movie more wrong. The first movie was actually really good
(considering what I was expecting) and the story could have continued on from
that very easily, but this movie takes a hard left turn and crashes into the
trees. Don’t even get me started on the acting. Redwoods are less wooden than
the acting in this movie. I, honestly, made jokes during the whole thing
because I was so bored. And no, me talking in the theater didn’t offend the
other three people that came out to watch this horrible movie on its opening
night. Please skip it. I hear that Sinister
is a solid scary movie, so I would recommend you get your Halloween frights
from it.
