Probably the best videogame adaptation ever.

Rating: 8/10 (28 October 2019)

In the cinema, there is this close curse of creating works based on videogames in the worst possible way; adaptations that end up falling into a pit of mediocrity and oblivion both by fans without knowledge about the videogame itself and by fans from Cerrino who were looking for a faithful adaptation. It's something that's been going on for years in Hollywood and it doesn't seem to stop. However, sometimes we are blessed with a gift totally different from the formula that finally works. Silent Hill is a horror movie based on the popular and unique video game, creating what is one of the best adaptations in the world of cinema.
Silent Hill can be a bit confusing for those who haven't played video games; it can be enigmatic, different and disturbing, but this is one of the characteristics I can respect. You can see that the director had a great passion for the creation of this film, getting to put a multitude of succulent references within the film and following a perfect archetype to successfully create the feeling that Silent Hill causes, even going so far as to use much of the original OST of the video game. It is an entertaining film that manages to satisfy in the art of the pertubacion, with excellent overwhelming scenes that can traumatize to young spectators. This is a horror movie that builds itself through the visual experience and the disturbing environment, achieving a unique and fantastic scenography like no other. The actors deliver an unexpected quality in this type of film, presenting themselves as excellent protagonists with sympathetic motivations. The film is not perfect, may have overexposed and boring scenes, may even feel slightly long at times, but even so it is a solid horror film that manages to create a unique atmosphere not found in other films of the same genre.
