Awesome survival horror movie!

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2006)

When I first read they were making a movie based on Silent Hill, my first thought was "Oh no, not another half-baked attempt at a game movie!", but unlike some other movies based on games, I think the makers of Silent Hill really did justice to the game. OK, being a fan of the games I obviously noticed that they weren't 100% accurate, but it was close enough for me to be called a success. The casting was spot on, especially Jodelle Ferland as Alessa/Sharon, and Sean Bean as her dad was a great choice, and Alice Krige was as awesome as always. I think they captured the atmosphere of the game very well, helped a lot by the very 'Silent Hill' soundtrack. It's hard to pin this down as being influenced by any one game as there are elements of the first three games, but I'd say more of one and three. There's some great FX and creatures, all directly from the games, nothing 'new' or 'invented'. I really hope they do more Silent Hill movies, bringing back Jodelle as Alessa!!
