Brilliant "inspired to video game" movie

Rating: 9/10 (8 July 2006)

Silent Hill: 8,5/10
Let me explain this high vote.I think that, for a movie based on a video game, nothing better could be done. Soundtrack was brilliant, scenery was perfect.I have played all the silent hill chapters and i must say that the movie perfectly reflected the game-play tension and scenery. On the contrary of many video-games-inspired movies like Resident Evil, the director gave a lot of attention to the plot. The only lack of the movie was approx. at the end, when Rose enters room 151 and they explain all the plot in 5 minutes. The explanation was brilliant, but i think it had to be done during the whole movie and not just in the last 10 minutes. I really loved also the moral of the movie, which was already known to me since i played the game. It proves how ignorance and blind faith can take to intolerance like happened with Alessa, who then, thanks to the hate that she accumulated during her pain, manipulated reality at his will. The young girl was very appropriate for the role of Sharon/Alessa. The best "inspired to video-games-horror" movie i have ever seen, and one of the top horror movies ever.
