Make sure you see this at least once! Very unique, very good.

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2015)

Silent Hill does an amazing job of capturing the inherent creep vibe of backwoods West Virginia, and then warping that into a truly twisted conclusion. The movie incorporates shots which are composed based on the angles of the camera in the video game.. while you might not care about that, it ends up meaning that the film visually looks really unique, so even if you're Joe Horror & have seen everything, it will at least engage you on that level.
The acting is this films worst aspect.. (maybe because of the foreign language director?) While filming the actors must've had no clue what the final product was going to look like, I think. It certainly isn't "bad" but it stands out more because everything else is damn good.
The reason I give it 10 stars, however, is because I don't think any other film (really) has done such a good job in the mood & music department. When you watch this movie you really do feel like you are going into Silent Hill, discovering the truth, and then barely making it out through a truly twisted ending.
There's a reason this movie hasn't been forgotten like the other VG franchise movies that came out around this time (Bloodrayne anyone? Resident Evil also). It stands on its own as a damn good film. To be perfectly honest its a lot better than some of the Silent Hill games! To me, its perfect, but even if you don't feel that way, I think you'll feel its at least 8/10. Give it a chance. But oh god do not watch the sequel, it sucks.
