Good game adaption

Rating: 6/10 (26 August 2006)

The story is very simple. a girl sleepwalks and talks about a place named Silent hill in her dreams. One night when she sleepwalk, she almost fell down a high cliff, until her mother saves her. Then the mother decides to take her daughter to Silent hill once and for all after doctors and medicines haven't succeeded of helping her. They leave soon after without her husband knowing anything. When their almost there, a girl suddenly come in front of the car, and they crash. Few hours later the mother wakes up, and the daughter is vanished. Then she walks into Silent hill looking for her daughter. At the same time her husband tries to find out what have happened in Silent Hill.
The movie is adapted from the game with the same name. This is probably the best game adaption ever. It's much better than movies like Resident evil apocalypse and Doom that had worse story and was not very interesting.
The movie featured not great but watchable CGI-work. Many of the CGI created creatures was cool. Specially the tree head monster. The set-design is great. Every street, building and the rooms in the houses where very good put together.
The movie have a very creepy feeling while you watch it. The mood in the lightning and how the monsters walk makes it scary for some and compelling for others. The movie also features a lot of blood and gore throughout the movie.
The actors in the movie does a good job. Specially Radha Mitchell as the desperate mother looking for her daughter. She was much better her then she was in the bad ''Deep Blue Sea''. But Sean Bean that is good actor, i thing didn't do as good job as Radha.
But the movie is not perfect. the story is very simple (not as bad as Doom), how the mother reacts at the beginning of the movie when she speed-drives from the police with her daughter in the seat next to her (a normal person would never do this), is bad scripting. It looks like the screenwriter rush through just to come to Silent Hill as soon as possible. But still the movie was very entertaining, and has a lot of gore and bloody scenes that will enjoy horror and game fans.
Welcome to Silent Hill
