Decent horror flick as far as video game adaptations go.

Rating: 7/10 (21 April 2006)

This film is a decent flick as far as video game adaptations go. Based on the video game of the same name where a mother gets into a car accident in the city of Silent Hill and awakens to find that her daughter is missing. As she sets out to find her she quickly realizes there is nothing normal about Silent Hill, and she will need to find her daughter as quickly as possible if they are to get out alive. In the film a combination of horror, mystery/detective, and special effects themes make for a horror movie that will keep you thinking as well as scared; though the scares are more disturbing and creepy than outright frightening. Overall, this is a horror flick that is full of disturbing imagery but definitely not your typical slasher fest. I played the video game as a child and there are some remarkably good adaptations from the video game that are pretty satisfying if you played the game, though not at all necessary to enjoy the film. If you like horror flicks it is worth a viewing while still in theaters.
