Not really like the game at all...

Rating: 1/10 (24 February 2007)

I'm sad to say that I was massively disappointed when watching this feature. It falls incredibly short of the glory of the first two Silent Hill's made by Konami. Anyone who says, "This movie is like the game," is unfortunately, sadly mistaken. I had the same feeling when I watched the Resident Evil movie. Why must movie makers butcher works of originality? If one is to make something and give it a name, it must be called a name which in unique to itself. The Silent Hill movie storyline was mass-proportionately changed from the Sony Playstation's original title by Konami. The main character was not a woman. The little girl's name was "Cheryl," not "Sharon." The pyramid-head demon was a nemesis fought by the character(s) in Silent Hill 2, and never even entered the storyline in Silent Hill 1 for Playstation; especially with Cybil the police officer in the same game. There were no cell phones in the original game, because THE YEAR WAS LIKE 1975, right? My advice to movie makers is that if you are going to make a movie based off of a video game or other work of originality: DO NOT CHANGE A SINGLE ELEMENT AND HAVE THE NERVE TO CALL IT THE SAME TITLE!! If you want to make something and change it a little, fine, but for God sakes, don't give it the same name and put it off as the original.
