Faithfully adapted freaky atmosphere

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2006)

I must admit, this is a shamelessly partial fan boy post, I must admit I can't imagine what it would be like to see this film without having played the games before. However, having played (and more or less liked all of them) the movie was a perfect way to relive some great moments!
Sure, the story was somewhat adapted to suit another media. Sure, some things were explained outright that were left for the player to figure out by himself in the games...
Still, nothing detracted from the original source material. Everything in the game payed homage to the games, showing that the makers surely knew what they were doing.
I hope this flick encourages those who haven't checked out the games, to do so! Rare is that game that makes you want to (and yet causes you to be afraid to) find out what happens next!
I would so love to see my favorite of them all, Silent Hill 2, adapted to a film..!
