Despite some fairly dismal reviews from film critics, Silent Hill managed to surprise everyone and take $20.2 million last weekend, ousting Scary Movie 4 into second place. Released in just under 3000 cinema’s Silent Hill managed to take $3 million more than the horror spoof franchise, which managed to pick up another $17 million bringing it’s current total to over $60 million. Directed by Chritopher Gans, Silent Hill is an atmospheric and satisfying video-game adaption, a welcome change from Uwe Boll’s run of grotesque failures.
