Worthy of a 10 for the hardest SH fans.

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2006)

I can't believe how badly this movie has been slated, and under voted.
Heres a PROPER review from a true hardcore silent hill fan, and of age instead of immature bash. We all remember following old Harry down those foggy alleyways and bloodstained rusty hotel corridors, now is the time to experience it on the big screen. The gore, the surreal nightmaristic creatures which pay the series dear respect. Nurse, zombie child and pyramid head to name a few. There is even a scene which strongly represents The Room, with the "Victim" coming alive from a death scene.
A cast of not so well known actors and actresses was probably the only flaw if one must pick and choose, from a fan's point of view of course. I will first state a few things : 1: If you haven't played any of the Silent Hill games, you wont have a clue who the most symbolic character of the whole franchise is, Pyramid head. He is the sword wielding guy with the metal triangle for a face. Fans of the game will recognise his appearance, brutality and down right coolness. Tearing skin straight from the muscle and bone of a defenseless cult member to name one of his appearances. I hear all the fans thinking how typical of PH.. and damn right! All the games have small relativity to the film, including camera angles, monsters, music and just symbols in general. As a horror film it tends to stay away from such "loud drum BOO" type scares that are so overused in the industry today by sticking true to the series with down right creepiness, mood setting music, tasteful blood and guts with a faint but sincere and brutal "WTF?" factor.
Fans of the game will NOT be disappointed, others will still be able to enjoy the story but will probably not understand most of it, and some scenes will be confusing.
I recommend this movie to all true Hill fans out there.
