Silent Hill

I haven't seen this movie, but my friend Krysten went to see it Friday. And this morning, we traded IMs about the flick. Here is our exchange, in which she succinctly states her opinion in her opening message:

Krysten: Silent Hill - SUCKED
Daniel: Really?
Daniel: That's the word I'm hearing.
Krysten: Oh it was bad - wait till i tell you.
Krysten: Sooooooooooooo bad
Krysten: The theater was laughing - and it wasn't a comedy/horror.
Krysten: You're gonna love this...
Krysten: There was this scene when she's trying to get through the bowels of the hospital to save her daughter...
Krysten: and she has to get past these mummy-like creatures...
Krysten: there's a whole troop of them.
Krysten: But apparently, they only come alive when there's light shined on them...
Krysten: so to test this theory, she shines a light on them...
Krysten: and the camera angle is straight on this group of zombie/mummy things...
Krysten: and all at once they start twitching and walking - in unison - towards her - and the camera...
Krysten: [My friend] rob & i both turn to each other and say: "Thriller video!"
Daniel: Nice.
Krysten: And the theater is laughing - it SO looked like the thriller video - it was pathetic.
Krysten: It was so obvious...
Krysten: The dialoge sucked ASS
Krysten: There was some cool death by barbed wire at the end - but not worth 2 1/2 hours.
Krysten: It was SUCH a disappointment.
Krysten: Towards the beginning of the movie they're discovering all the weird shit in this town..
Krysten: the woman and this female cop she partners up with...
Krysten: so this thing comes out of nowhere and starts lurching toward them...
Krysten: it's nasty...and it's spewing acidic black shit...
Krysten: and the cop is standing there with th gun pointed straight at it...
Krysten: and they just keep watching it in horror...
Krysten: finally like half the audience is like "Shoot the fucking thing already!!!"
Krysten: It was hysterical.
Daniel: lol
Daniel: Standard horror movie stupidity.
Krysten: Oh bad bad bad.
Krysten: I could go on, but why?

There you have it. Good enough for me to know I won't be seeing it.
