Hmmm . . . not a good adaption, much less a good movie . . .

Rating: 1/10 (22 April 2006)

Regardless of what others have said, anyone seeing this film should be forewarned: if you never played the game, you probably won't like it, and if you have played the game you will most likely hate it. As a movie it fails completely: has many characters that are unnecessary and should have been entirely deleted (I'm looking at you Sean Bean's character), not to mention weak acting on a whole from most characters. The story is pretty ridiculous and illogical (not in the sense of "could this literally happen" but in the idea that the concepts that are being portrayed are never clearly or consistently made evident.) and even worse dialogue. Cybil Bennett's character is completely out of context and is not an accurate representation of her character from the movie. This stands for the entire movie: none of the characters or even the plot represent and are an accurate adaptation of the game. In the game Dahlia Gillespie was at best a delusional psychotic, and at worst pure evil. In the movie she is portrayed as one of the most sympathetic characters in the film. The nature of evil in Silent Hill is clearly expressed in the game, whereas in the movie it is totally shifted and is never really explained. All I'm saying is be warned: great evil is approaching us, in the form of incompetent filmmakers who take good stories, throw them in the stupid-meets-total-bullshit blender, and creates total waste that continues to feed the minds of the moronic and dimwitted.
