A genuinely scary movie, with disturbingly beautiful graphics.

Rating: 7/10 (24 April 2006)

I must admit when I saw the trailer for this movie, I got incredibly excited as most that have played the video games would. But still, I feel that Silent Hill could stand alone as a descent movie for those that just want to have a good time at a theater. Though the acting was not the greatest, and the story seemed to drag at some points during the movie, the graphics and goriness of the film were certainly the best I have seen in a long time, and it gave you a sincere feeling of nervousness and terror, I would dare say. I loved the use of the theme song through the movie from the first video game, as well as the unnerving, chaotic soundtrack that the Silent Hill series is known for. For those that go to a theater to nitpick a movie for all its worth instead of to enjoy it, stick to your Brokeback Mountains, and leave the fun of seeing a movie to the people who really want it.
