Very Well Done

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2006)

I've only finished the first of the Silent Hill games, and I have to say this movie depicted it extremely well. The game was one of the creepiest I've played, and to see it on film, it doesn't disappoint. The plot seemed to carry along pretty well, although there were some scenes that dragged out a little. The soundtrack (as previously mentioned by another voter), was straight out of the game. As soon as I heard the sirens go off, I had chills, anticipating what was about to come. The creatures were also very recognizable from the games as well, adding to the suspense. When the "darkness" took over, even the backgrounds were straight from the games, along with the creepy music and camera angles made this an eerie, yet very thrilling movie to watch. I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen.
