bad movie

Rating: 3/10 (5 May 2006)

When I went to see this movie I was expecting a lot and turned out I was completely wrong. Before I say why this movie is so bad, yes I've played the video game and also I'm one of those people that get scared very easily by movies and I sat there the whole movie without being the tiniest bit scared.
Like one person said they did do some changes but they weren't huge ones which is what makes the video game remakes terrible. Who would rather sit and watch a movie or go play the exact same thing as a video game, or for the people who play video games a lot who wants to see what the exact same thing they've been playing for the last week or so. All the video game remakes need to try and change the movie so you aren't seeing what you've been playing because that's just plain boring. One movie that tried to change it from the game(but failed miserably) was Doom. Anyone who's played those games would agree the movie is a lot different then the game but most likely would've been worse if they just copied exactly from the game.
Now going back to Silent Hill, it was just terrible. It could've been semi scary if they didn't show the only things that could've possibly been scary in the trailer. Also the acting wasn't that great. The only one who does good acting is Radha Mitchell. I would avoid this movie if you can especially if you haven't played the game and expect this to be a non stop action horror movie(like some of the people I went with).
