Boring, dull CG FX, easily forgettable effort

Rating: 2/10 (16 August 2014)

Sorry, fans of the computer game, but this is clearly one that did NOT adapt well to being made into a movie. Why game makers seem to think any old game will transfer well, I do not know.
At two hours and five minutes it is far too long for a flick that depends on one main theme, dismal cinematography, barely adequate "acting" and very standard SFX.
The creatures were the usual beasts-from-hell, straight out of the digital version of Central Casting. Uninspiring, insipid.
What did I like about this flop? Well, the big sign saying "Welcome to Silent Hill" was pretty good.
NOTE: I see loads of people on IMDB giving this rubbish 8, 9 or 10... these are members who have a list of only ONE or VERY FEW viewed and reviewed movies! In other words, they are people who have joined just to give this snotty film a high rating. There ought to be some procedure to prevent such abuse. I have noted it time after time with lousy flicks. For example, for this movie, "Silent Hill":
10/10
Silent hill isn't a horror movie its a nightmare drama
