Absolutely loved it

I normally don't care for horror movies because it's all gore just to show gore. I know everyone says this is "unoriginal" and that many elements come from other movies etc. but honestly, NOTHING is completely original anymore. What makes a good movie are myths and folklore from the past that could make a connection now. Look at things for storyline and special effects now, not for originality. Complete originality is impossible because everyone is influenced by something.
The story line was amazing. Maybe I only care for it because I can relate to rejection turning into hate and just blooming into something beautifully monstrous. Some gore was unnecessary, but it makes the point of the nightmare world. I never played the game, so Pyramid Head was silly to me, but I pretty much got sucked into the screen and felt like I was in Silent Hill battling for life.
If you put yourself into any character's position, you'd have to be heartless not to feel something. Deep and moving...maybe only some, "gifted" people will understand the message :)
