definitely worth seeing if you're a fan of the games...

Rating: 7/10 (22 April 2006)

As an avid fan of the games, I was half impressed and half disappointed.
The atmosphere was set up perfectly. The darkness, the fear, the feeling that something is wrong and you don't understand what it is or why it is happening, are transferred from the game very nicely. The actors do a great job; very convincing in their roles - and the actors that play the creatures are AMAZING! Hooray for live action creatures instead of CGI! It's just a shame you don't see more of them. My only other complaint is that they do try to wrap things up somewhat conveniently in the last ten minutes, and one of the things I love about the Silent Hill games is that things were always left somewhat uncertain.
I see this movie as being pretty good for fans of the games, but somewhat confusing for those that don't know the background...
