“Silent Hill,” the latest video game to become a movie, opens today without an advance screening for critics. In the film, Rose (Radha Mitchell, pictured) cannot accept a doctor’s diagnosis that her daughter, Sharon, is dying of a fatal disease. Over her husband’s protests, she flees with her child, intending to take the girl to a faith healer. On the way, she ends up driving through a portal in reality, which takes her to the eerie and deserted town of Silent Hill. Sharon disappears in Silent Hill, and Rose follows what she thinks is her daughter’s silhouette all over town. Silent Hill is inhabited by a variety of creatures and a living darkness that descend and literally transform everything they touch. The human inhabitants who are left are trapped and fighting a losing battle against the darkness. The movie, rated R for strong horror violence and gore, disturbing images and some language, opens today at Alderwood Mall, Everett 9, Galaxy Monroe, Marysville, Mountlake, Meridian, Metro, Woodinville, Blue Fox Drive-In and Cascade Mall.
