Reminiscent of the PS1 game

Rating: 7/10 (26 April 2006)

If you're a fan of the game, then you will love the movie because it recreates a lot of what you love about the game in the movie, and it works. The one thing I didn't care for was what happened to Cybil, and hopefully if there is to be another Silent Hill movie, they will find a way to "un-do" Cybil's fate in this movie. And work in the White Claudia contribution. Other than that, the movie was like a flashback of the game. I hate horror, but I make an exception for Silent Hill. It'll make you want to dig your old PlayStation 1 game out and play it again!!! The fact that Harry was replaced with Rose wasn't that disappointing, there is a lot left open to another movie, and it would be nice to see Harry surface in the future, or at least have that ending explained a little bit more. The baddies were awesome, I didn't think they could be recreated as well as the makers of this movie managed to do, so for those familiar with the game, this movie definitely won't disappoint. For someone who goes to see it and is not aware of the game, it may pique their interest after the movie...(The game should still be available in stores on Play Station 1's Greatest Hits, or look on eBay.
