Don't go if don't know the Game

Rating: 3/10 (24 April 2006)

I knew nothing about the movie other than the trailers or that it was a video game prior to seeing the movie. As a horror fan I was looking forward to Silent Hill only to be disappointed. Perhaps too much explanation of the plot/subplots ended up on the cutting room floor? And I know I'm not alone -- I heard MANY from the Sunday afternoon audience who were as confused as I. Even the synopsis on this site is very little like the movie -- there were no references to faith healers or a fatal illness - only sleep walking and bad dreams! There was only one allusion about something weird going on by the actors and absolutely no explanation of road or other weird goings on. Maybe if you played the game the movie would make more sense?? On a positive note, assuming you already knew the plot, it was a fantastic horror movie - it built suspense, great set, excellent camera work, great special effects/monsters, good acting - great fun and gore....If someone would please just tell me what happened?!?
