It's a new favourite!

Though having not played the games I could say that Silent Hill was everything I hoped for. It was creepy, cool, dark and just bizarre. I actually went to see this film for the creatures and I was definitely not disappointed. There's something so utterly sick about the monsters of Silent Hill that makes me all giddy inside.
Also, the film makers made a move that has unfortunately not been done enough in other video game movies in my view, which was using the games' soundtracks. The music in this movie is simply brilliant.
Having said this all the only real disappointments for me were Sean Bean's character who didn't get to do much during the entire film and the ending which was too ambiguous in my view and didn't have the level of closure I had hoped for.
Regardless, this is a brilliant video game movie, and probably the first one to have taken a major leap in its plot writing.
