Not bad at all

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2007)

We live in those times where directors throw game adaptation movies at us only to make a quick buck. We can only shudder when we remember Blood Rayne or Alone in the Dark. But Silent Hill is a little different story.
The movie, first of all, is very visual. Cinematography can be summed up in one word and that's gorgeous. Creatures look even better than in the game and sets are nothing short of wonderful.
Acting is decent here with a few corny lines here and there. One needs to remember that this movie relies on its visuals more than it relies on the dialog. Sean Bean's character and the detective serve as the characters who fill us in on what had happened before. It's a nice addition, a break from the adventures that are happening at the same time in Silent Hill.
Overall, a very good movie. Nothing deep, but there is still a message.
