When its being creepy, its fantastic....

Rating: 6/10 (24 April 2006)

I'm gonna sound like an short attention spanned teen by saying this , but silent hill is only really enjoyable when it cuts to the action-stuff like weird mutant babies gallvanting around, a monster with a pyramid for a face freakishly stalking our shreeking heroes and when hordes of satanic bugs swarm the place: When things get creepy in silent hill- thats when things are interesting.
When characters are talking however, things become dull. Christopher gans has succeeded in delivering an incredibly disrturbing looking film with an unnerving atomstphere and beautifully nightmarish set pieces but when it comes to making the characters interesting and the acting decent he falls short-the frights and the creepy creatures is where you'll get your enjoyment with this game adaptation.
Great when its trying to scare you, but dull in other departments, silent hill is worth a watch .
