My new favorite movie

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2006)

Watching movies of all kinds my whole life, I've learned to never set high expectations for an movie, as most of the time I'm left disappointed in one way or another. But because I'm such an huge die-hard SH fan, I set my expectations more then just high for the movie, and I wasn't disappointed. Silent Hil delivers everything an fan of the games good of hoped for in the movie...well almost everything. The only thing I wished that they would of done differently, was to give Pyramid Head some more screen time, but seeing as the screens with him were just so damn awesome, I don't really mind all that much. :) Everything else, perfect.
The atmosphere was amazing. The town has the same look, and feel to that in the games.
The creatures looked just as they do in the games.
All of the characters and acting were excellent. Radha Mitchell, Laurie Holden, Deborah Kara Unger, Alice Krige, Jodelle Ferland, and everyone else were excellent!
The story was excellent. Very silent hillish.
Special effects were great. Hardly any CGI used in the film? Beyond amazing.
The gore, oh how I loved the gore!
And the sound and music were beautiful. An lot of it was taken from the games, and if your an fan, then I'm sure you already know how truly beautiful all of it is.
Silent Hill is by far the best film this year so far, and I don't see anything else topping it anytime soon. Perfectly identical to the games if your an fan then see this as soon as possible, you will love it.
And thank you Christophe Gans, and Roger Avary for creating not only one of the best horror movies ever, but the best movie/video game adaptation ever.
