Rating: 9/10 (30 January 2013)

This is, by far, the best adaptation of a video game. Even so, you don't have to be a gamer to enjoy this movie. All you have to do is a bit of research and, if you have the time, watch a game walkthrough (or just the key events) to understand the story behind Silent Hill. I've been a gamer ever since i remember and i'm always aware when i read or hear that a game is going to be adapted to a movie, because the transition isn't always what you expect, mostly because whoever directs the film doesn't have the game experience (Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and so on) or doesn't research about it. In this case, it's exactly the opposite. The director was able to catch the essence of Silent Hill, although with some script changes, and the result is the best adaptation of a video game until now. Nevertheless, it's all there and whoever played the game will notice that. If you are a fan of the game, i recommend this, it's the best adaptation from a video game i've ever seen. If you're not, well, you have two choices: don't watch it and don't review it, or embrace the mystery, insanity and darkness that Silent Hill offers you and take a journey to a place where no one as ever returned.
