Are you ready for MAMA?

Heard of MAMA? I’m really so excited and can’t wait to catch MAMA in cinemas. So based on the trailer, it seems quite scary but what excites me is the story plot. I am very curious as to why is there a child in a closet and why “A Mother’s Love is Forever”, the movie’s tagline.

If you had watched MAMA, do share with me if you would really encouraged me to watch this movie. And for those who have not, watch this trailer.

Excited,

Ross

Plot

It all started with Sharon (Adelaide Clemens) being chased by some monstrous creatures in an unknown carnival where she ended up being burned alive on a merry-go-round. But it turns out to be a dream when she was woken up by her father, Harry (Sean Bean) consoling her. Harry was suddenly killed by a creature from behind. Sharon screamed and woke up from a dream so it turns out that it was a dream within a dream of her dream. Okay that sounds like Inception (it’s a great movie by the way). The beginning was quite intriguing to me because of the suspense that kept me questioning like why did she had such a dream and why is Sharon presuming the name Heather and going to a new school?? I would agree that the audience were kind of trick at the first part of Silent Hill Revelation.

The suspense was greatly built on at the next part where a man started stalking Sharon when she was about to leave school. She called Harry to pick her up as she was scared. Harry asked to meet at a shopping mall but when he was about to leave the house, he was captured by creatures from Silent Hill. Things get heated up when Sharon started to “hallucinate” and see humans changing into some scary creatures. There was too much blood on screen that I could not stop myself from covering my eyes. But I did manage to take a sneak peek when a private investigator, which works for Silent Hill, suddenly chased Sharon.

I assumed that the private investigator was going to catch her but instead, he warned her to run away. But it was too late because the private investigator was killed right in front of Sharon by some creature covered with sharp blades. The murder of the private investigator was being investigated but Sharon managed to run away. The story became more impossible when things happen illogically, like Vincent (Kit Harrington) appeared out of nowhere offering to send Sharon home.

Sharon came home to a message that says “ COME TO SILENT HILL”. Vincent became a savior that offers to help Sharon to bring her to Silent Hill to save Harry despite the fact that Harry had reminded Sharon to not go there no matter what happens. Along the way, Vincent turns out to be the child of the order, son of Claudia Wolf (Carrie-Anne Moss), the cult leader of Silent Hill. In which, he was suddenly being taken back to Silent Hill, leaving Sharon alone in the cold to walk to Silent Hill. Things get more and more weird when Sharon entered Silent Hill and met Alessa’s mother. It was said that Sharon is the inner part of Alessa and that Claudia wants Sharon in order to kill Alessa.

I was looking forward to what was going to happened the moment Sharon entered Silent Hill. Turns out that whatever she dreamt of came true but the climax was weak. Alessa appeared in the middle of a burning merry-go round and hugged Sharon and they became one. In real life, I am pretty sure that something like that would not happened. Somehow, Sharon survived the burn and managed to meet Claudia, where Harry and Vincent was imprisoned. It was pretty hilarious that the script seems pretty immature, like how Harry shouted out to Claudia “You do not hurt her!”

Overall, Silent Hill Revelation was just a 2 star movie to me because of its weak story plot that was built up with a lot of stunning effects and costumes. This 20 million budget movie was good with all the graphics and settings but it failed to capture the audience with a good story plot despite being a sequel to Silent Hill.
