Silent Hill at its best

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2006)

People complain movies are not faithful to the games and now some say too faithful...i say to them..."shut up" The movie has the same feeling of the game, you don't feel the character is safe and you just wish they don't go to the town...but then it wouldn't be much of a movie. The story has basically mixed all Silent Hill Games together to one big freaky one, which is good because it made it script worthy. The music is amazing because there is so little of it, like the game, music game on when it was emotional and when you where getting chased by a dead janitor. With the return of some of the games biggest monsters makes the movie even more chilling because you know how the character in the movie feels to get attacked by nurses and stalked by a large demon with a sword longer than it. The acting was always breath-taking, like a few people, i was worried about the little girl in the movie, Jodie Ferland. There was a line near the start which starts with her saying "mummy" in a really childish voice, and i was thinking of the annoying stupid kids in other movies and games, but later in the movie when Jodie Ferland is "the reaper" the performance is award winning, never has a child looked so evil and actually scared me this much. Also the main actress in the movie Radha Mitchell should win awards for how she expressed her fear, it was not the annoying repeating of the high pitch scream, Radha Mitchell's gasp's and expressions made the movie more terrifying. I was lucky enough to get a ticket the first night it was out in the Scotland and the cinema was full, and you could hear everyone gasping, screaming and jumping out of their seats. Silent hill is so far the best game-to-movie i've ever seen and i hope for a sequel but fear one in case it doesn't live up to this amazing movie.
