Great Acting and Special Effects make Silent Hill a real gem

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2007)

From the very beginning, Silent Hill looked like one of those movies that was planned for an extremely long time, but could never really get off its feet. Suddenly, however, in 2005, the production started moving along at a steady pace.
The film was definitely worth the wait, as it seemed to play out just like the games. The special effects were amazing, and the town had the same look and overall feel of the games. The plot was excellent, but the explanation of events in the conclusion was slightly confusing. The actors and actresses (mainly actresses) did a great job, and the monsters looked like they were ripped right out of the game. One of the only complaints I have is that some parts of the movie really dragged, and the suspense was not built up as well as it could have been. Overall, the best video game adaption so far, right up there next to Resident Evil.
