The best game to movie yet !

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2006)

When I saw that someone was going to make Silent Hill a movie I thought "Great, another fantastic game to get screwed by making it into movie." Being a gamer, for the most part I am very disappointed when a game comes as a movie. Most of the time, someone is just cashing in on a hit game.I buy them anyway in hopes that the person making the movie had at least played the game before going after the Almighty Dollar!
I was shocked and greatly pleased when I got finished watching 'Silent Hill'. At the opening of the movie my first thought was "Oh no, here we go again" but by the time the credits rolled I was pumped up and had to watch it again. You can tell that Christopher Gans is a gamer. While he may have took liberties with some of the characters such as changing the lead from male to female,he stuck with the eerie feeling of the game so much that the movie will shock even the most die-hard fan of the game.
From the set design to the costumes to the creatures Mr. Gans and his crew were dead on. The only negative thing I can think of is that I have a feeling that some the good stuff got left on the cutting room floor. You can forgive him that one because he took a game took hours upon hours to tell the story and no one is going to sit that long at one sitting. Any gamer who enjoyed 'Silent Hill" the game is going to love this movie.
I hope this isn't the last game Christopher Gans creates a movie out of. I will be waiting on pins and needles for his next foray into gaming. ('Parisite Eve', Christopher?)
