Finally

Rating: 8/10 (22 April 2006)

It was refreshing to finally see a director bring a video game to the movies the right way, and that is purely for the fans. Gans has managed to completely capture the esthetic terror of Silent hill. From its disturbing creatures to it unreal sets, the movie Silent Hill is the Game. Although it displays wooden acting in several parts from some of its key characters, I find myself not caring as much as I would with other genre movies. This movie has everything in it from the game that the fans love. The hell world, the darkness, the fog, the siren, PYRAMID HEAD!, the music and sound was pure silent hill as was the cinematography. If you are not a fan of the games or hate gore, you probably won't like this movie. Some reviewers are already puzzled from the movie and therefore rate it poorly, which is fine because this movie is not for the average moviegoer. It is for the fans of the games, people who know that the way silent hill works is to keep you in mystery forever, which is pretty freaking scary.
