Good, Especially for a Video Game Movie

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2006)

It met my expectations. If you've ever seen Resident Evil 1 and 2 it is almost as good as 1 but not nearly as bad as 2. There were a couple spots that had some awful acting and reactions that I can't believe they weren't re-shot. Overall it was good and that's a plus for a video game movie. If you saw DOOM or House of the Dead you know how bad a video game movie can be.
The gore wasn't overdone and yet was plentiful enough to create a good horror pick. I also enjoyed the fact of them incorporating all of the usual characters and environments you would find in any of the Silent Hill games. You knew eventually you'd see the next monster and the graphics didn't disappoint, especially for not using a lot of CGI. I was overall pleased. I even found myself scared and jumpy just as the games make you feel. They really caught the scope and strange feelings all the games create.
