A Review reflecting movie to game comparison of Silent Hill.

Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2006)

As a fan of the video game and others, I was kind of skeptical that this movie would be good. I was wrong! The crew did a very well job of re-making the game series into a movie. The main characters, mom and daughter, were played very well. The monsters, were even more scary and realistic in the movie than the game! Pyramid head, had a good role just as the nurses looked and acted very horrifying. The backdrop of the movie scenes, were very well done, looked very much like in the game. The movie even had a bit of a comedy element to it, as the audience members laughed at a few of the character comments. Other audience members reflected being scared, as the game series does to people as well, it can be very scary! I think the best viewer of the movie would be fans of the game or at least someone who has played it, it would help them to understand the movie better. People who are new into the whole Silent Hill "cult", may enjoy the movie as well. The graphics were outstanding, minus the few times they were comparable to the cliché'd "The Ring" movements, even if they are the latest form of horror effects. What was even better, that the monsters were not full CGI, as in the games of course. Another fun part of the movie, being a horror movie, it had a lot of Horror as some movies show very little. This one had mental horror as well. This year 2006, has a lot of horror movies coming out, Silent Hill is a must see if you are indeed looking for a Horror movie. I must say I have no complaints. This movie might even be the best horror movie out in years. Hopfully it will make a path for the future of horror movies. However, some may say it's not a horror movie or more than, more psychological, it may still change the path of such a genre.
