Very able horror flick that makes you think

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2006)

Thoroughly enjoyed this film and can say I agree it is the best game to movie port I've ever seen. The acting was spot on and the monsters and effects all very true to the source material, unlike Resident Evil. The feeling of dread when the sirens start to sound can only be matched by the dread felt in The Descent - another excellent horror. I loved the Pyramid head character but felt he could have been in the film more, at the expense of much of the scenes involving the remaining locals of Silent Hill. However, use of these characters did go some way towards explaining the origins of the town. The ending was perfect as it matched the game's confusion in just over what happened. Such an ending is perfect for post film discussion. Sequels will hopefully be forthcoming and should be based on Christoper's attempts to find out what happened to his family. I'd like to see a sequel concentrate on the prison found under the lake in Silent Hill 2.
