A little creepy, a little corny, but a good crossover.

Rating: 6/10 (22 April 2006)

I saw this movie last night after I read some reviews, and my expectations were high. Well, the movie starts out kind of corny. The dialog seems a little clumsy, and I don't know why everyone is hyping the actors because most of them delivered their lines a little cheesily.
To give the movie credit, the special effects were pretty incredible, but sometimes the CG blood looked pretty fake. Characters from the game popped up now and then (i.e. pyramid head) and were pretty scary, and they definitely got the zombie/freaks exactly right, and they were pretty scary as well.
Overall, the plot was a little lacking, especially toward the end. It was a great concept, just not as well executed as it could have been. I didn't really feel that I cared about the characters, with the only exception being Sean Bean.
This isn't really the type of movie that would make me pee my pants, but it was better than anything else "scary" out there right now. It brought the feel of the game put together with a good new story, and I would recommend it to anyone who's played the Silent Hill games, or anyone who's got an open mind about odd/far fetched films.
