Nice game, nice music, bad movie.

Rating: 4/10 (22 April 2006)

I love the Resident Evil series, I love the Silent Hill games, however this movie really got to me when it tried to incorporate all of this absolutely random and unnecessary witch-burning, the mass killing with barbed-wire and the general way the movie went. That girl really annoyed me, as did Sean's voice, I've seen him in movies playing far better, Sharpe has always been a superb series of his, I don't know if he's best suited for roles such as this, even his part in The Island was just about on par (no offense. :p). The good parts of this movie I'd have to say is the way in that Silent Hill changed from normal to nowhere, the first 30 minutes were simply great, and from there on it got too painful to watch. I think to the average person, people wouldn't understand the crash issue the first time round, probably a lot of "OMFGWTF?!" and get angry, rather than get into more depth, which is a shame really because this movie did have potential, but it fell early at the second hurdle. A complete translation from the game to the movie would have been much neater, looks like some of those Pyramid heads are going to be stumbling towards the film crew's way.
An unsatisfied 4/10, I feel conned.
