Silent Hill

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2007)

Silent Hill, another video adaptation is actually the best horror thriller I've seen since The Others. Christopher Gans direction of a cold deserted town and a woman attempting to find her daughter is the most chilling effect, with a musical score that's similar to his last film, Brotherhood of the Wolf, although this score was adapted from the actual game. Performances aren't particularly solid but is forgiven due to the scares and pretty nasty shocks within. Some of the special effects are superb, and there is that sense of another world which you are glad you aren't entering. I'm just glad that it is a stronger film than other films in this genre have been of late, as well as giving hope for other video games that could be taken into consideration.
