Best video game adaptation

Rating: 7/10 (26 April 2006)

Now I know that a lot of people don't like this movie, but overall when compared to other video game based films (I.E. In The Dark, Doom, Bloodrayne) this one can easily be seen as above the norm. Its original because unlike basic horror movies it presents an eerie feel that isn't based on dumb moments that attempt to make you jump. Instead it focuses on the the disturbing, like the Silent Hill games. The acting in this movie was pretty exceptional for the talent they had, although at some times the constant screaming by Rose gets annoying. Seeing a bit more of the fighting in the movie would have been good, considering that in the games you get to beat the creatures with lead pipes and shoot them with a variety of weaponry. Overall, however, I think that the movie provides a good introduction into the world of Silent Hill and should be seen by every moviegoer interested in a new type horror experience.
