best video game to movie conversion i've seen

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2006)

SH is visually very appealing. The scenery is simply amazing. The plot is also surprisingly good. I found the story quite interesting. However the dialogues sometimes lack substance and the acting is occasionally poor. The relationship between the characters and the characters themselves are arguably quite superficial. The characters sometimes feel awkward like in a video game. So not as much of a psychological thriller as expected. At the end, even though the story is explained some questions remain unanswered (but not as many as say in Donnie Darko). So in conclusion I believe that the strongest point of this movie is by far its visual aesthetics, the decor, the camera work, the monsters etc. I think this movie is definitely worth seeing.
