Not only the best video game adaption, but a marvelous film in general.

Rating: 9/10 (21 April 2006)

I just got back from seeing Silent Hill, and all I can say is wow! This film has been everything I expected and more. Christophe Gans did the best job that could have been done with this video game adaption. The visuals were stunning, the atmosphere beautiful, and the overall mood was very poetic. The monsters were masterfully done and impressive (but don't expect to see a lot of them) and they were as disturbing as ever. The acting was very good despite a few moments of awkward dialogue, and the story, although somewhat altered from the game, was very good. I hear people complaining that they don't understand it, but I, along with the few people I went with (who haven't played the games) did, and it wasn't that complicated if you pay attention. The thing I really loved about this film is that it's unique. There are few movies that compare to this in originality. The music is absolutely marvelous as well, and many songs are ripped straight from the game. Overall, this movie is 100% Silent Hill. Every horror fan and especially Silent Hill fan needs to see this!
