An excellent adaption of the legendary video game

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2006)

Looking back at the history of movies based on video games, i never thought to see an adaption i would really like. If you think about titles like "Street Fighter","Alone In The Dark" or "Bloodrayne", you're right when judging them to be the worst movies ever made.But Silent Hill is different.Keeping it straight to the Video game, Christophe Gans did a hell of a job and created a very good horror-film. No stupid *non stop blasting away everything that moves* or *hey all my friends were killed by a monster but i'm still looking after every strange sounds coming out of the scary room*-standard-movie-s**t, but an atmospheric, intelligent and unpredictable (well, for those, who didn't play the game of course) piece of work. Even those, who know about the story of the video game, will have their fun because of the tons of details, like the characters and creatures, locations and even camera-angles, that appeared in the game.
I can really recommend this film to anybody, who likes to see good movies.Don't expect an Oscar-nominee,but you can surely give it a try. Thanks to Mr. Gans for not making it an Uwe-Boll-disaster, but a great VG-adaption.Go for Metal Gear!!! ; )
Peace!
