Silent Hill - Potential?

Rating: 5/10 (6 May 2006)

I've played the Silent Hill series of games am a big fan of the intricately detailed storyline which makes the game. I was excited to learn that Silent Hill was being released as a motion picture and I was first in line for tickets. However, after watching the movie I was a bit disappointed. The storyline was too hurried and the foreshadowing was overwhelming! They seemed to rush to get to the point and left a lot out in the beginning that was sloppily placed throughout the movie to connect events. I had a mindset that the movie adaptation wouldn't be as detailed as the games but I was surprised at the total lack. Overall it was a good movie and the visuals were great but what about the ending? Was that some crappy segue or clue to a sequel? I hope they put some more elbow grease in Silent Hill II if it makes it!
