I'm writing this as a NON-fan of the game.

Rating: 8/10 (18 March 2007)

I have to begin this by saying that I don't understand the confusion. I followed the story line just fine, without benefit of ever having played the game. Other reviewers have declared this screenplay to be a convoluted mess, but I don't understand their perspective, as I had no trouble in following the storyline. Perhaps that was a "perceived" storyline, as I do have enough imagination to answer my own questions, filling in the blanks as the movie goes along, but either way, the time was lacking for the type of character and story development most seem to need in order to enjoy this work.
Silent Hill is a darkling wonder of twists and turns. It is one of the few contemporary horrors which caught me and moved me to the edge of my seat. I found it exhilarating and genuinely thrilling.
It rates an 8.4/10 from...
