Screen adaptation of the Silent Hill VG

Rating: 5/10 (25 September 2006)

I'm the kind of person who watches movies with an opened mind. But I cannot agree with gore for the love of gore, or killing main characters for fun in original ways, like burning them alive. The setting is pretty interesting at first and the backgrounds, filled with falling ash look great, but that's where the good things stop.
You start seeing things go wrong with this movie right from the beginning. One of those things is that it's highly predictable - you kinda' know the trip to Silent Hill is a one-way ticket to hell, you realize the cop is there for a reason. And the zombie-fighting is useless really, the main characters can't be touched by anonymous zombies, only by "level bosses". However predictable, the story manages to bring some interesting twists by the end of the movie, but too little, too late. It's still a "zombie roller-coaster ride".
