amazing film

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2006)

I've been a huge fan of the silent hill series since the first one came out and have played all four many, many times. that said, let me say that this movie is hands down the best game to film adaptation ever, but, not just that, its actually a really good horror movie. players of the games will appreciate the references(and there are many that are quite cleverly woven into the plot)to the games, and i also think that they will really like what has been done with the story. the four games, although somewhat connected(obviously 1 and 3), all have their own stories to tell and utilize silent hill in different ways. the movie does a great job of re-creating that world and giving a story that fits. will it be well-received by the critics? doubtful.(roger ebert already reviewed it, apparently, and it wasn't that good) will fans of the horror genre appreciate the film? i don't see how they couldn't. my girlfriend doesn't like horror movies and we saw silent hill twice on Friday and now shes wanting to play all four games. will fans of the game AND the horror genre like the film? its likely to be in their top 10 favorite horror films of the last twenty years. speaking of 10...thats exactly what i give this movie.
