hmmm stephen king liked it and I dig jessica chastain and mia wasikowska... and I mean it's del toro, he's brilliant. pretty excited about going to see it. although I'm very into horror films, so I am rather picky about them.

It looks like a spooky movie for kids. The trailer tells the whole story and it isnt a scary one. IMO

I love del toro but yep. I tried so hard to get hype while watching the trailer but it just doesn't look hype at all.

Silent Hills should never have been cancelled.

went and watched it. it's good! not great. nowhere near pan's labyrinth. its biggest flaw is definitely spoonfeeding the plot. sadly, for a student of lovecraft, del toro doesn't master the fear of the unknown in this one. but the aesthetics are top notch, and the acting is great. chastain in particular is sufficiently crazy.

so my verdict is: go see it if you like horror flicks. it's a fun night out. but don't expect pan's labyrinth level genius.


I wish my bro del toro would go make at the mountains of madness already...
