good special effects,flawed story

Rating: 6/10 (23 April 2006)

When I first heard that they were going to make Silent Hill into a movie, I thought that it would be another video game movie disappointment. While I thought it was very creepy and shot well,I thought it was unevenly paced,some of the dialog was week and the overall plot of the story could have been better. I have not player the game,so I'll assume that it can explain one major question,that for some reason,the filmmakers decided they didn't need to answer. If you have not seen this movie,let's just say you'll be scratching your head at the end. Ultimately, if you are a fanboy,you will probably love this movie. If not, then you should probably wait for it on video. If you absolutely have to see this movie,go in with great reservation and maybe you won't be disappointed. It's definitely not terrible,but it surely could have been better.
