Great Visuals, Lacking Movie

Rating: 6/10 (23 April 2006)

First off, i have been a huge fan of the silent hill games and have played all of them. The movie really does a great job conveying the visuals from the game. The fog is awesome, the creatures look perfect, pyramid head is the best looking one in the film. The soundtrack is great too. The music from the game i thought always sound good and gave a real eerie feeling but here is sounds so much better. But all these great visuals cant make up for the rest of the movies pit falls. The first thing i noticed was that the acting was pretty bad. Every "it's going to be OK" line made me laugh. The story line didn't make much sense. It didn't seem very thought out. Bottom line: Worth a view just for the visuals and fans of the game should see it.
