Amazing, true to the Silent Hill Spirit!

Rating: 9/10 (24 September 2008)

I've just watched this movie for the second time today and i decided to write a review. Im a very big fan of the Silent Hill video game Franchise and, at first, i was a little cautious about watching this but i have to say, after watching it for a second time, its much better than i expected.
First of all, you cant expect this to be the greatest movie of your life, because that will never be the case. Its not supposed to be a pretentious movie, its just a horror movie a great horror movie.
The atmosphere is very faithful to the game's, the plot is similar to the one of the first Silent Hill game released for the sony playstation and it really looks like the silent hill from the videogames. The acting is pretty good, considering the fact that it must pretty hard for the actors to see themselves under the such crazy circumstances, and i really liked the ending.
I think that, in the end, this turned out to be a movie that can please the video game fans and fans of horror movies in general. So if you like scary movies with heavy atmospheres, lock yourself inside your room, turn the lights off and enjoy this great film.
Just remember, you cannot compare this movie to other movies outside the genre. This movie fulfilled very well its purpose. Before you judge it, i suggest you think about other horror movies produced in these last 8 to 10 years. If you take this movie for what its supposed to be, and you re slightly open minded, you will see that this Hell/Resort town has much to offer.
