Best Video game-to-Movie Adaption, however...

Rating: 8/10 (21 April 2006)

Silent Hill's plot is nothing like the plots of Konami's Silent Hill 1-3 (4 being completely different, so I'll discard it). However, it tries to remain faithful to the (first) games. My criticism is during the "light" or "day" times, and also during the Christopher parts. It tends to get to slow and a little boring. Then, all of the sudden it speeds up like the micro machine guy who talked really fast. I loved the darkness parts and found some parts to be really creepy (and really bloody and gory, but not disgusting, just like horror films should be.) The music is almost exactly the same as the games. The ending was pretty okay, since I hope there is a (superior) sequel nearby. I didn't hate this movie (like Doom), but it is not one of the best movies I have ever seen, either. I still recommend it to people who have not played the game, as well as people who have. Like books made into films, there will always be changes that one may or may not like. But, I think the movie is still worth seeing. 8/10
