Worth seeing for the first hour and a half

Rating: 6/10 (22 April 2006)

Superb presentation of a video game as a movie. From the original song played, its abrupt cutoff and to the point where rose enters the church the movie is almost flawless. I use the word "superb" because it couldn't have been better if done any other way. The acting pulls the movie through all the tricky spots that seem to be dying fast because nothing is going on. What many wont understand is that those moments, where everything is quieting down is what Silent Hill is really all about. If you're looking for a horde of Marilyn Manson songs to be filling the soundtrack look elsewhere this is not some rock concert on film like Resident Evil was. If you've played the games you will get this movie and should enjoy it for the most part. It was worth two screenings until the last scene in the church. "Give me the strength to stay pure." Wow what the hell was that about. Silent hill is about what you Don't see or what you can almost see and try to move in you seat to get a glimpse of. However I must say Pyramid head is worth the ticket....
