Once you enter Silent Hill there is no turning back.

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2007)

Rose and her husband Christopher Da Silva, are worried with their little girl, Sharon, who sleepwalks and has seizures with frequency. Since the medical diagnosis of their daughter is not good, Rose decides to take Sharon to Silent Hill (against her husband's agreement), the name of a city that her daughter keeps repeating all the time. When they are near the city,Rose creates a high speed chase between herself and a suspicious and strange police officer. While running with her car, Rose avoids a young girl to be crashed. She is then knocked unconscious. When Rose wakes up, she sees herself alone in a strange and foggy city, where no one seems to live and her beloved daughter is missed. As Rose begins to search for Sharon, many bizarre things and situations starts to happen; they will make Rose discover the true and disturbing secret behind Silent Hill's apparently calm.
Silent Hill'' is one of my favorite game series, and I think that even Resident Evil, one of the most well known horror games in the world, sucks near it. The movie is not exactly faithful to the games stories and logic, being based mainly in the first Silent Hill (where Cheryl gets lost in the city), but with elements from the other Silent Hills ( like the Pyramid Head) . They created new characters (with exception of Cybill and maybe Lisa) for instance, Rose Da Silva is the female version of Harry Mason, the main video game protagonist, and Cheryl's father of the first Silent Hill. And they also changed some relationships of the game, like Dahlia and Alessa Gillespie, and 'the order'' ( a demon cult), that is different in the movie and the game.
Even with so many changes, I liked the movie very much (more then I imagined), as it contained many of the horror and creepy traces of the game. Many times, I felt disturbed as I felt while playing the game, what is a good sign. For people who doesn't know the story of Silent Hill, the movie will be confusing, since it's hard to understand what is going on in some scenes even knowing the game (specially the end) but even so, I recommend to read the FAQ, where many of the explanations are given. And if you a horror game fan as well, and never played Silent Hill, I totally recommend you to play it. :)
Ps: ''The Janitor'' transformed to a monster, really scared me!
