Near perfect copy of the first game

Rating: 9/10 (26 April 2006)

This movie, by itself, would be enough for an intelligent person to understand and enjoy. But this is no ordinary movie, this is a movie based on one of the greatest horror games made today. I found this movie very enjoyable because I have played all the Silent Hill games (including the gameboy advanced version only released in Japan) and I found that the story is a near perfect copy of the first game. Yes, there are creatures from the 2nd and 3rd games as well and they mixed a bit of the 2nd games story into the inner workings of Silent Hill, but the main story follows Rose (in place of Harry) who lost her daughter after getting into a wreck on their way to Silent Hill. There are scenes in the movie that were in the game, the same exact scenes! So, as far a video game movies go, this is the best one made to date. As far as Horror movies go, it is better than the regular "slash and kill for no reason" movies that are out today. I give it a 9 out of 10 only because the ending is very different than any of the 4 endings from the original Silent Hill for the PS1. Still, it was a nice surprise but it just wasn't in Silent Hill style.
