Finally, a game to movie transition done right...

Rating: 9/10 (21 April 2006)

There's Tomb Raider, House of the Dead, Resident Evil, Bloodrayne, and many others where gamers hear these names in cringe. Not because they're horrible games because they're not. But because they turned out to be horrid, horrid movies.
Silent Hill finally breaks the chain.
From beginning to end is nothing but edge of your seat suspense. Whether you've played one of the games or not, you're in for more than a treat and it's nowhere even near Halloween.
I cannot express in words how very much impressed I AM of how well they took story, music, and atmosphere that made Silent Hill such a breakthrough series, and transferred it and connected it into a two hour well done movie.
The visual effects are astounding. But to a fan of the series such as myself, it's almost breath taking how real they made it all seem. To go through the Midwich Elementary School, then the mall, and finally to the hospital kept making my eyes grow wider and wider because all these were familiar surrounding brought to life.
Couldn't be any happier with the soundtrack. Melissa Williamson has the most alluring and hypnotic voice in the biz today. Every song that played from the game, every sound effect made the hair on the back of my neck stand up because THAT is what helps Silent Hill be absolutely disturbing and riveting. It's the reason why everyone should own a surround sound system and no lights in the room...
I shouldn't even have to explain the Red Pyramid Head appearance...
And to sum it up, Silent Hill is definitely worth your $7.50 on a Friday night opening day. Heck I might even watch it again on my day off...
PRAY for a sequel...
