For a movie based off a video game, it was good.

Rating: 9/10 (21 April 2006)

First off when you enter the movie theater remember that everything has a double meaning or a completely different meaning to it. Now most movies based on video games just plain blow, Super Mario Bros(Nuff said.) But this was a nice surprise, it was good. However if you aren't a Silent Hill fan, or if you never played at least one of the games then you may be slightly confused. My one and only gripe is that the movie is loosely based off of the first game, don't get me wrong the plot was good, but it made the movie feel like it was in an alternate dimension, as in a completely different one, not Silent Hill's actual alternate dimension. Anyway, I heard somewhere that the only CGI used was the fog and when Rose, the main character, enters the dark world. I was lied too, and if you heard the same thing you were lied to too.
*Warning Spoiler* Okay now if you're a fan of Silent Hill then you know that the monsters/demons are usually reflective on the main character, but unfortunately this isn't true here. They used the Paitent Demon from SH2, Nurses (which actually can be forgiven, to a point.), and the infamous Pyramid Head from SH2. Now the Nurses I can see since Rose went to the hospital, but the Paient Demon I was disappointed in seeing since it really didn't belong. But Pyramid Head jeez he actually was a bit of a surprise, and I was actually glad he was in the movie. Now the Nurse can be forgiven, but when you see them think of Micheal Jackson Thriller, don't ask me someone else said they reminded them of Michels Thriller video. Not sure why? Oh, and at the end during the credits they played the opening song from SH3, and oddly enough it fit in well to the credits.
All in all it was a great movie and even if you're not a fan of the Silent Hill series it's still worth seeing.
