Good but not perfect!

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2006)

This is perhaps the best video game adaptation yet. Of course it is not perfect. Some of the dialog is finicky, certain monster sequences play out a bit awkwardly and the addition of a crazy Cult really takes away from the mythology of the games. But overall the movie captures the essence of the Silent Hill franchise. The opening sequences are almost identical to the games and the transitions between dimensions are wonderful. The movie even has Rose use maps, look through rooms and use clues to get to her next destination. The music seems out of place at times but fans will be pleased to hear familiar music from the games. I was happy with the film but it could have been much better.
