why the sub plot?

Rating: 3/10 (30 April 2006)

Okay, to be fair let me first say that Silent Hill 2 is my favorite video game of all time. I went into the movie expecting a totally mysterious and creepy showcasing of all of the scary characters from the game. Instead, I got two scary scenes (the two times Pyramid Head showed up) and another hour and a half of some crazy, random, and completely WEAK subplot involving witches and burnings and conspiracies. Where did that come from? Also, I know that the first game had a police officer in it, but wouldn't it have been much creepier if Rose had been alone the entire time? She didn't even fight anything....I'm pretty sure that is completely opposite from the game. A better idea for the film would have had Rose, totally alone and scared, wandering around kicking creature ass. She would have had to find different weapons to use (as in the game), and eventually would have had to fight Pyramid Head in the end to get her daughter back. I had been looking forward to this movie for a year, and was so disappointed that I wanted to cry....does anyone agree with me? Woudln't my version have been better?
