Silent Hill Restless Dreams

Well acted, well shot, well directed, well produced Silent Hill fan film. The whole thing has a professional look and sound. Vic Mignogna and Mercedes Peterson give solid performances as James and wife Mary/Maria, and the locations are suitably creepy. Two things hold it back. One, it doesn't quite have that eerie sense of other-worldliness I expect from Silent Hill, and two, it suffers from a similar problem as Christophe Gans' 2006 SH feature film - it's not very accessible to non-fans. I know this is a 'fan film', but that should refer to it being MADE by fans; non-fans should still be able to understand what's going on. I can see people watching this and thinking 'Well, it looked good, but what the heck was it about?'. Nevertheless, director Colten Dietz clearly has talent and is a name to watch for the future. 6/10.
