Excellent for a movie based on a game, good for a horror

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2006)

It is definitely the best movie of those based upon a game up to date. And it is a good horror even if you ignore its roots. In my honest opinion, it is as close to the Mulholand Drive fame as Christophe Gans can get, and probably the closest any living director can, nowadays, so it is worth your time. The design is totally awesome (though most of it is borrowed from the original game), Silent Hill is worth a look just for the mere sight of those barren, picturesque ash-covered landscapes of a dead town. The story is better than average, somewhat lacking compared to the second and third of the games, but sill a solid one, exceeding those of most modern horror movies and the last of the parent game series. Recommended for those of you who have a good taste for tense, depressive and extraordinarily stylish horror movies. What else can be said (without spoiling)? Watch Silent Hill and have a great (or maybe horrible in the good meaning of the word, you know...) time
