Disappointing.

Rating: 3/10 (12 September 2006)

Just to make this clear, the only reason this film gets 3 stars is because of the cinematography. It really does at times look like a Silent Hill game with the angles used. I have played the game, but not a huge fan, although i did find the game the scariest i've played. But the film, made no sense to me, there was so much explanation, yet so much was un-explained. Pyramid Head.. He was a cool character, pretty scary if he was coming after me, but why the hell was he there!?! And the nurses, i was expecting them to break out into the Thriller dance! If you were driving along a dark empty road in the middle of the night, not breaking the law and the police put on sirens to pull you over... why would you drive away, putting your child's life in danger? Maybe i didn't play the games enough to understand, but there are a lot of people out there who won't have played the game at all, and i don't see how this film provides these people with anything enjoyable within the narrative.
