Excellent movie

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2006)

I saw this movie on it's opening night and I left the theatre very very pleased. I've been a fan of Silent Hill since it first came out on the PS back in 1999. When I heard that a movie was finally coming out I couldn't believe it, how could they turn such a horrifying game into a bad movie? there was no possible way and yes I was right, they didn't turn it into a bad movie. Everything in the movie ties in so well with the contents of the game. The atmosphere was very claustrophobic which everyone likes cause it makes it so much more intense. The monsters were well done, most of them actually done by real people dressed in costumes and make-up. The story can get a little confusing (more understanding for people who have played the game) so it's something you really have to pay attention to and when you do get it, you like it and when you like it, you like it a lot. Silent Hill is one of those films where you can't take your eyes off of the screen, you want to know what's going to happen next and you're anxiously waiting for that scare that you want and it delivers it damn good. This film is a must see for fans of the game and or fans of a good horror movie done with amazing CGI, a powerful and emotional story, and anyone who enjoys one hell of a scare.
