Awesome, Awesome, and more Awesome

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2006)

As a hardcore Silent Hill game series fan, I did not expect much from the theatrical adaptation. But surprisingly, it's probably one of the best video-game to movie adaptations ever engineered.
This movie blew my mind. The graphics, the music (which of course comes from the game ost's) the actors, everything fell perfectly. Every minute was full of suspense. As with any horror movie, there are the obligatory gore scenes. However, the directors found ways to psychologically strike fear in the hearts of its viewers, just like the game accomplishes. The most important character development is seen through the actions of our genuine heroine, Rose DeSilva. Despite corny lines here or there, the characters complete the Silent Hill environment in their determination to find themselves amidst the murky, transient, thickle, and dangerous state of mind Silent Hill produces.
This movie will indeed send shivers up your spine, but all in good timing...it is indeed the psychological thriller (and or good commentary on the validity of religious power within modern society). Just as the game reveals these themes in the delicate placement of symbols and signs, and the actions/roles of certain characters, you will see the same in the movie.
Definitely watch it, it'll blow you away.
