It Still Looks Visually Striking
3 Reasons Why You Should Watch the Silent Hill Movie on Its 15 Year Anniversary
Combining tangible practical effects with modern CGI, Silent Hill’s spine-chilling visuals stand up surprisingly well even to this day.
Moreover, Dan Laustsen’s terrific cinematography puts the foggy streets, husk-like factories and dilapidated buildings of the titular town front and center, accentuating the idea that one of the most distinct and interesting “characters” in the entire film is the foggy town of Silent Hill itself.
Meanwhile, rounding out the eye-catching aesthetic of the flick is a myriad of disturbing monster designs lifted straight out of the classic video games, as well as a number of impressively epic sets that boast some eerily hellish imagery. Simply put: 2006’s Silent Hill not only feels authentic, but it looks hauntingly on-point, too.
