Very bad

Rating: 2/10 (13 August 2006)

I've never played the Silent Hill games so I'm not a fanboy like most of the reviewers here seem to be. What maybe worked in a game certainly does not work in a movie. The so called plot of this movie makes no sense and it's also very boring. Why do little girls always represent evil in Japanese horror? This film isn't actually frightening at all, although it's supposed to be a horror movie.
Video games in general have very poor story lines, they're just there as an excuse for the action. It's pretty clear with this film, when they try to convert a video game straight into a movie, it just doesn't work.
Anyway a complete waste of time, avoid at all costs unless you're a fanboy of the games. Even Uwe Boll makes better movies.
