Really disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (30 April 2006)

I have played the games and I'm a huge fan. I went to see SIlent Hill hoping this was gonna be great. For the first 45 minutes it's very good, excellent, just like in the game. And then comes the cult. That destroyed all the movie. It's so bad you're asking yourself if Gans didn't try to make a remake of Monty Python Holy Graal. BURN HER BURN HER. My god this was lame. After the cult appears, you don't see a single monster, they try to explain all the movie in a sequence with dialogs like "congratulation rose you've won the grand prize, know i'm going to tell everything about this town". Plus, Sean Bean's character broke all the tension, he's useless and the final sequence is ridiculous. VERY DISAPPOINTING AND EXTREMELY BAD. Although the music and sound effects were great. Gans didn't understand the game at all. In the game you're alone, you can't communicate with the people outside the town. Here, Rose is always with the cop, she can call her husband and there are 5000 people from the cult always screaming: BURN HER BURN HER. And contrarily to the game, this movie doesn't scare at all. There is only one big moment of tension and terror, it's with the Janitor but that's it. Plus the movie is too long, everyone was yawning and laughing at some sequences, like when Rose, Cybill and Anna jump to another building and rose saying: " where are we?" and Cybill: "looks like were in the other building" DUH?! The nurse scene is a remake of Micheal Jackson's Thriller. The only thing good in this film are the janitor sequence, the music and the first 45 minutes. The rest is pretty BAD. Hope Gans isn't going to make more films.
