"Mother is God in the eyes of a child"

Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2019)

Being a big fan of the Silent Hill games growing up I went to see this movie when it was released in 2006 and honestly it didn't disappoint a few things were changed for the big screen adaptation to make it more appealing to people who haven't played the games but the movie still sticks to the games original storyline and brought the games most iconic creature's and a few new ones to life too create a dark atmospheric horror movie with original soundtrack music from the games to bring the dark and twisted town of Silent Hill to the big screen.
Very well directed by Christophe Gans who played and researched the games before filming started taking inspiration from the games low light setting and unique way of using fixed camera angles and overhead shots to recreate the games creepy and atmospheric theme's very successfully.
A few of the monsters and creatures are brought to life by real actors in green screen suits and makeup to give more realistic movement's and body characteristics.
The Acting is very good in this movie most notably from the then child actress Jodelle Ferland who plays two separate characters in the movie both very different from each other and required a change in voice tone and body language but she performed both characters flawlessly and showed her range and abilities as an actress at such a young age which is impressive and shows dedication and maturity especially in a horror movie with Co Stars four or five times her age.
I recommend this movie to any Horror movie fan and fans of the video game series I also recommend watching the extras for a better look into the making of the movie and the talent involved.
