Great Flick

Rating: 9/10 (23 April 2006)

I've played the games, and thought the movie wouldn't capture the same kind of scary and captivating suspense that the genre usually presents. I am glad to say I was wrong. This is probably one of the best game adapted movies I've seen thus far and gives me hope that directors won't take a fun and/or interesting game adjust the plot to include non-linear extras, drop there own brand of steaming pile on it, and serve it to the unsuspecting public as something new and fresh. Examples "Doom," and "Resident Evil," granted "Resident Evil" was OK...but come on "Doom"...like who OK'd that? I could just imagine the pitch session for it, "Ok were going to make a movie about a game that isn't remotely new and fresh, and we'll copy all the ideas of the games, but not as creepy and/or as cool." I digress, in any case, I've see this flick, I liked this flick and I'd suggest seeing this bad boy in theatres, I don't know what it is, but horror's seem to be making some serious ground these days in terms of air time on the silver screen, if you enjoyed this flick, you'll probably like "An American Haunting," same kind of feel, didn't care for the ending but its not like I'll get into that here.
Cheers.
