The best horror movie for quite some time

Rating: 9/10 (5 May 2006)

I hate games to movies crossovers. They are rubbish. Really really bad...... with very very few exceptions.
This is one of the exceptions. It scared the pants off of me just like the game did. In fact the reason I liked this so much is that it is a natural progression from the film. It took the best bits from the game and brought them to life. In such a CGI laden film the actors did a great job and the pace was magnificent. Not too much back story in one go...a nice toeing and froing of exposition and action at just the right times.
As for the supposed "weak" ending...it isn't. It leaves everything open very nicely for a sequel. Can't wait for Sean's trip into the hell of Silent Hill.
