This movie should be the panhandle of all video game movies!!

Rating: 8/10 (11 October 2009)

This movie is the nearly HOLY GRAIL of video game movies. These people actually tried and they actually cared, but if you are a hardcore Silent Hill video game series player, you might find this movie not accurate enough. With the whole Pyramid Head being there (Since he was the symbolism of James' self-destructive mindset due to his regret blah blah blah blah) is a major plot hole.
The only problem I have with this movie is that it had a REAL POTENTIAL to be a psychology based film, instead they made it "LET'S RUN AROUND SCREAMING. OMG SCARY MONSTER KILL IT ARRGH!! BUTCH LESBIAN COP FOR THE WIN (oh she was my favorite character! *cough cough*)" ANYWAY I think they should've stayed with the pack mentality of the people of Silent Hill, and the corrupt mind of the woman that practically ran the place. In my opinion, that is what makes the movie disturbing at all.
Though the ending made me cringe... and the near ending made me cry. Watch it, and you'll understand why. But in my opinion, if the directors were to get anymore loyal to the video game, that would mean sequels and cliff hangers. Lots of them. So take it for what it's worth, it has to be one of the more loyal video game movie I have ever seen. It blows all of Uwe Bol's films out of the water. (That's because that's Uwe Bol.... *gag*).
This movie is a couple steps away from perfect and loyal to what it was inspired from, but I don't think it's meant to be a carbon copy.
