This edit shortens the film and focuses it on the character of Rose and the town of Silent Hill.

While I greatly enjoyed the original Silent Hill when I first watched it, I, like many others, wasn't that big of a fan with the Sean Bean scenes. Not that he gave a bad performance (in my opinion), but the heart of the story was with Rose and her struggle, and the real world scenes not only slowed the story down, but created a number of "safe spots" where the viewer could catch their breath. Not so any more!

This version of SILENT HILL is more akin to the video game horror series that inspired it. An improvement.
