Turistas (2006)

Why the bad rating ???

[9/10 · 2 July 2007]

I almost was not going to see this movie because it was giving such a bad rating by so many.

I don't know why though. I watched the movie and it was very very good.

It had a great story line that was believable and made it more creepy. When something exciting was not happening it had great visuals of Brazil. It had some intense scenes also. It also had a lot of shocking parts u would not expect. I really liked this movie. Better then hostel definitely.

It shouldn't have a bad rating. At least should have a 7 or 8. Worth watching.

Silent Hill (2006)

Alright but could have been the better

[10/10 · 24 June 2007]

This movie was OK. It was not that scary though. I liked how it changed from fog to evil darkness. there were great special effects and great visuals.

I am a Huge fan of the Silent Hill games (except silent hill 4). They didn't add as many horror elements from the Games as they should have. (1) The was only one scene where the main character was going down a complete dark hallway with a flashlight (there should have been more of that)cause it was a great scene. (2) They should have added that the town was completely obsessed with a dark religion. It created a creepy mood in the game and kinda explained why the town was so messed up.(there were symbols for a religion but it didn't explain the religion. Also Alessa was burned because they thought she was a witch and not because they were trying to create a hellish god). (3)This movie had only one ending.The DVD should've had more. the ending was very unclear. Each silent hill game had at least 4 endings.LOL (4) one thing that made the games so scary was that the main character was alone a lot and only meeting crazy characters. (5) They should have added the radio better. The loud scary sound when a monster was near definitely should have been added more. Cybil had a radio but it was not loud or creepy enough and the main character should have found the radio. (6) They needed more creatures. (7) The movie showed the real world with the father searching. The ruined it a lot. the games would just through horror at you the whole time. This took away a big horror aspect.

I admit if that it shouldn't be too much like the games they just should have used more horror techniques from the game :)

IT WAS OK BUT COULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST XD The creatures looked very creepy and i liked that they used the pyramid head creature. The fog made it creepy. Amazing special effects. A lot of good things about this movie too.

Great Movie . But if you are a fan of the games it not as good as it should have been. (although best game-to-film crossover yet) Everyone should see this movie :)
