A real stinker...

Rating: 2/10 (16 January 2018)

I am a gamer and I enjoy films so I appreciate just how difficult film people seem to find converting a tense game into a tense film. Maybe it should be requisite for the people at the head of creativity in these kinds of films be forced to complete the game on the hardest setting; this should eliminate the idiots from the game players and ensure a truer adaptation.
Admittedly I never completed Silent Hill but I played enough of it to grasp what made it work; why it was scary, tense and why gamers (blokes) liked it. The film of Silent Hill is just really poorly scripted and choreographed, the introduction of frightening characters is fluffed. It felt half-hearted and that shone through.
