A little too gory... but somewhat scary...

Rating: 7/10 (26 April 2006)

To begin with, I haven't played the games. I went into this movie with very little idea of the plot. On the plus side, I think it was filmed pretty well. Though the story was a little "off" at times, it did set up the plot pretty well. It was one of those classic gory movies. In my opinion, the film makers focused too much on the gory aspect. Although there were many instances where I was somewhat scared, there were also instances where I almost burst out laughing at the misfortune of the main characters. If you've liked the games, I suppose it'd be worth seeing. If you haven't, but you like scary movies which focus on gore... well, this one's for you. And if you're anyone else... I'd tell you it's worth seeing only if you're in the mood for it...
Don't read this next part, it gives away part of the movie.
For those who have played the games, a question:
What's up with the pyramid headed guy? Why do the spirits of the dead people (who hide in the church) try to attack them at first?
