Outstanding

Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2006)

I just got back from the theater. The last screening of the movie on opening night...
I must say, right now that this is the best movie i have ever seen. The acting is beautiful, the music sometimes eerie... And the buildings in both realms (Normal and Dark) Were amazingly done. A lot of the special effects, whether it was Pyramid Head walking down the hall, the incredible amounts of beetles, the walls changing.. were well done. A lot of people on the forums and such speak of a scene where a girl gets her clothes and skin torn off by Pyramid Head... That is true, and its in the movie. And the footage of Pyramid Head throwing a dog towards the camera, is actually the woman's skin... (That might have been a spoiler) The only thing i have to nitpick about is a character in the movie says 'Im burning' in a weird voice as they catch fire, an evil character. That made everyone in the theater laugh. Like i said, the acting was done beautifully, the characters act like they should in those kinds of situations. If people think they are going to be let down because this movie is based on a video game, they are wrong. I thought it might be less then i hoped for, but it wasn't, it was the best movie i have ever watched. I recommend it to fans of the game series, to horror fans... To anyone really. Except children.
(Just as a side note, I own the game Silent Hill 4: The Room.) Acting: 9/10 Sound: 10/10 Special Effects: 10/10 Character Depth: 8/10 Scenery: 9/10 Gore: 50/10 Overall: 10/10
