Beautiful.

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2013)

This is definitely the best horror film to come out between 2000-2013. It's damn fine for a video game adaption, the best for that matter. As a huge fan of silent hill and horror in film, this film deserved a bigger fan base.
I'm not going to get into the plot, I'll leave that for anyone who wants to view it. The atmosphere and camera work are spot on, some great stuff for a horror film. The soundtrack is some of the best music I have ever heard in my life. They took a bunch of music from separate games, and put it into one amazing soundtrack. Too bad they never released a soundtrack for purchase, they makes me sad, I could listen to this stuff for hours. I sit through the credits every time I watch this film, how many films does any one actually look forward to the end credits, just this one. Songs include: 1. Tears of 2. Laura's theme 3.You're not here 4. wounded warsong 5. Promise(reprise). I highly recommend you-tubing these songs. These songs have so much emotion to them, they are sad, depressing, but enjoyable to listen to. They really make me think.
The film is 2 hours long, probably the only horror film that actually deserves that kind of runtime. I will admit, the scenes with Sean Beans character slow the pace down quite a bit, I'd like to see a cut with that just stayed in Silent hill the whole time. The visuals and sets look great, it's the real deal. The acting is a little iffy at times, Jodelle Ferland really didn't sit well with me at certain points. I don't know, she did a good job in Case 39 though. Pyramid head didn't get much screen time, I wish they would have unleashed him at the end climax. The Colin monster was pretty sick the first time I watched this, you would not want to get caught by that.
The sequel was very poorly made compared to this, even just frustrating at how they squandered it. Here's high hopes to a worthy third film.
