Artistic and Tense...awesome movie.

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2006)

I will be first in line to buy this sucker when the DVD comes out. I am a huge horror fan, and not a gore guy at all. I like tense movies like the Shining, the Exorcist, and Hellraiser (ok that one is gory but the story holds up too). I've played the Silent Hill games as well. Anyway, this movie does not disappoint in any way. The graphics are stunning and detailed. The story is good. The acting is solid. I loved it. They paid homage to the video games without being corny or goofy and it probably helped that the games are story based anyway as opposed to most shoot 'em ups. The CGI that was used did not look cheesy in the least and did not distract or look forced. I have to say I was very impressed and I recommend this movie wholeheartedly to anyone who likes artistic horror. I hope this movie makes a bundle just to send the message that classy horror has an audience! Amazing - they made a movie out of a video game that didn't suck. Wonders never cease.
This one might make it to my top ten horror flicks...
