Silent Hill is an unparalleled masterwork of psychological survival horror, taking audiences into the depths of human psyche and exploring themes such as repressed memories, guilt, trauma and the subconscious mind. Silent_Chill continues this legacy in one of the finest video game adaptations ever produced – many consider this film adaptation one of the finest ever seen on film.

Rose and Christopher Da Silva become worried when their adopted daughter Sharon begins sleepwalking and experiencing nightmares, prompting them to seek answers in Silent Hill, which is shrouded in mystery by an enormous coal fire. Officer Gucci provides them with guidance as they navigate its natural hazards; further revealing that his father once owned the local barber shop.

As Rose, Lee and Tobin enter the Fog World, a woman wearing ragged clothing named Dahlia Gillespie approaches them and informs Rose of what has occurred involving Alessa. After hearing this news, Rose begins screaming and her locket is replaced by one made out of chain links.

Starting here, Silent Hill begins, and from here it all unfolds. While some fans were dissatisfied by some of the film’s decisions (such as making Alessa blonde rather than black despite hailing from Silent Hill), many felt that the movie successfully created an authentic atmosphere. Furthermore, many appreciated its use of dark timbres and striking harmonics to create feelings of discomfort and unease in its music score.
