A great depiction of the Konami game 'Silent Hill'

Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2006)

For starters, the movie is a little over two hours long, but I does a tremendous job at portraying the creepy feel of the video game. It contains many familiar to fans sound effects such as background music, steps, echo and gunshots. Even a non-gamer will realize the quality of the the ambiance and mood attained throughout the two hours.
Crew and cast feel well suited for their respected roles, which allows the movie to grow on the viewer as it is a slow-paced thriller. Sean Bean("LOTR"-Boromir, "National Treasure"-Ian Howe) sells a solid performance as the concerned husband(Christopher Da Silva) and contributes nicely with timely placed secondary action and dialog. Rose Da Silva played by Radha Mitchell occupies the screen for the majority of the time and with great reason. Quality acting and action is at stake and Mitchell delivers with a Bang! Her mannerisms, gestures and sheer dedication stands out in a bland sea of game/comic to movie crossovers. Wonderful acting in a thriller is also rare, but not here, its present and it shows.
Visuals are simply amazing and stay true within the game's color palette. Within this scope, the enemies are plentiful and present a constant tension against the heroines quest, which proved solid at keeping action fresh. It featured numerous ghouls, monsters and night-walkers with a variety of gore and freight value. It does so in a just suited way and stays back of overpowering the main story. All in all, the graphic Konami valor shines through and pins 'this' winner on the silver screen.
Altogether, this movie will deliver on it's promise and will not disappoint. A standout amongst crossover failures and a big hitter amongst the current choices. A perfect not-so family film, so be cautious of the visuals as they are bang on for delivering the chills and thrills compliments of Konami.
