Could have been great, must try harder :(

Rating: 6/10 (21 April 2006)

I apologise to my brother Roy for hi-jacking his login details but i need to share my thoughts after seeing this. Had high hopes due to the fella off Brotherhood of the wolf doing it but a bit of a let down.
The effects when the sirens go off esp in the school at the start are amazing and worth the ticket price alone. The Kristabella lady is ace and the one playing Anna is a scene stealer but for the love of god why the accent Sean Bean?
All the monsters were kind of explained as the film went on in the sense that we knew why they ended up that way but can't work out pyramid head at all. Was he a butcher or something? Also seeing as the man cop was in silent hill in the fires and got burned but then left silent hill how come he hadn't aged properly?
The ending is a bit of a cliff hanger but if there is going to be a sequel its fine.
Those of a squeamish disposition be warned there are 2 bits that will make your tummy go all funny here but i won't mention them, its pushing the 15 rating and my brother agrees with me on that.
He gives it an 8 as do my sister and husband and they have played the games. I didn't find it scary just a bit hammer horror only with better effects.
