This movie was an okay movie, but horrible if your associating it to the Silent Hill video game franchise. I don't know how people can say that they'll like this movie, if they like the game. In my experience, I was let down when I associated it with the video game.
First, lets talk about Silent Hill, and why people end up their. In all my experiences with the video games (now I did miss one or two, so correct me if I'm wrong), the person that ended up in Silent Hill did something awful that they felt guilty for. Something sinful. Then, Silent Hill became whatever hell that the person made for themselves. Now, in the movie this wasn't the case at all. A lady had adopted this little girl, the daughter of the lady that had hate so bad for this cult leader of a woman, who sacrificed her daughter. The woman who adopted the little girl (her daughter) ended up in Silent Hill (the mother of the little girls Hell that she created for herself). The movie says fate brought her to Silent Hill, because she adopted her. In other words, she was "chosen."
Her purpose to being there was to find out what actually happened to the town, and the woman and her daughter during that time in Silent Hill. Then, bring the truth into the cult (which exists in the mother's hell). Once the truth is revealed, then the mother could take out her revenge on the people who tortured so many people in life.
In the game, it was always something that a person DID that caused them to go to Silent Hill, and pay back what they owe. Silent Hill was to punish the guilty (I do believe), by having the people live in the hell they created. The movie did do a good job on the monsters though. That I did appreciate. Also, when the darkness takes over, they also do a good job with the surroundings, and effect. Otherwise, I did not appreciate the story-line at all.
The movie had good physically related elements related to the game. Otherwise, the story-line sucked and the dialog was so-so. If you like the game, do NOT watch this movie.
