Silent hill was one of the first games that scared the hell out of me. There is one scene in the game where you go into the school and there is a locker room and in there is a locker rattling. You open the locker, and nothing is there. After going though the clock tower in the school courtyard and the air raid sirens go off and all hell breaks loose you go back to the locker room (SIDE NOTE: As I got to this part there was a lighting storm and just as this happen there was a big flash of lightning and a big clap of thunder) I digress, now back in the locker room, the locker is rattling, I open it (BAM HUGH CRACK OF THUNDER OUTSIDE) and a body jumps out of the locker. Scared the bajesus out of me. The other part that creeped me out was during day time game play it is snowing (ash) and its foggy and you hear a mild wind blowing. I use to live down by the water, and one morning I go out side, its Snowing, its foggy and all I hear is the wind blowing. Kinda creeped me out, all I was thinking was, OK .... no static on the radio so i'm safe. SO, all in all this game left a good impression on me. After finishing the game I thought they should make a movie about this.
Loved the effects, looked video game'ish in most parts. I was a bit aw struck on how well the area scenery looked like the game, some of the small details were great. The coverings on the fences outside at night, the way the walls in the buildings looked at night. They did take some liberties with the plot, but thats to be expected.
The Monsters were excellent, the puppet nurses looked great, the Mumblers (Demonic Children) were creepy looking, and the best of all the monsters, always one of my fav's from the game, was the Red Pyramid. I thought this baddie was Very Well Done. He looked Killer, very true to the game.
Over all really enjoyed the movie. My friend who came with me did not play any of the games and was a bit confused at the end. So playing the game is a good prerequisite to seeing the movie.
