Easily the best Video game adaptation(but that really isn't saying much)

Rating: 9/10 (12 October 2006)

Silent Hill is one of those movies that you will either love or hate. I personally loved it, though being somewhat of a fan of the games really doesn't hurt.
The story is told quite well throughout the movie, though at points it can get a bit confusing and you have to make a lot of inferences. Most of it is straight forward and can be easily understood. It focuses around a woman who takes her daughter, Sharon to Silent Hill, as she goes into outbursts and screams that name over and over. She loses Sharon in the town and learns about the towns horrible secrets and how her daughter is connected to them all.
The special effects are very well done, especially when the "darkness" comes over the town and the walls are peeling and all the wonderful little creatures come out to play.
This is easily the best video game to movie adaptation made so far, but then again, when a movie is in the same category as Super Mario Bros. The Movie, it really isn't saying much.
