Silent Hill movie Options

Wow. I am very surprised that no one has posted anything about this yet...
This was the best video game to movie translation I have ever seen. Hands down. AND it was a damn fine movie too boot!
Seriously!
They nailed everything about Silent Hill: the look, the sounds, the "holy shit what the hell is that thing?!!", even the music was straight from the game.
I highly recommend this movie to any horror fan and if you're a Silent Hill fan, then RUN to the theatre and see it.
One caveat though - This is one gorey friggin movie. Much more so than I ever thought it was going to be. Super violent, too. I guess it was to be expected seeing that you are running for your life beating things down with a pipe or blasting them with a shotgun, but when you see it on screen it's much more so! Just a slight warning.

Silent Hill movie - Two thumbs up!

ps: I'd say more, but I don't want to give anything away for those who haven't see it yet.

I'm a huge SH fan, and of course caught the movie on the opening night. I have to concur with unitself's rating, 2 Crushin thumbs up. For the first time EVER a VG movie actually stuck to the fucking source and made a motion picture true to the original source. The special effects, story, and music were spot on.

I can see how someone who wasn't a fan of the VG series might be turned off though, the pacing was very much like the game, with a "get a clue, go to this place, get a clue go to another place" kind of feeling. Also, I didn't feel a real sense of dread that i get with the games, however I might attribute that to the fact that the movie sticks to the SH1 plot pretty closely, so I largely knew what to expect.

Also, Red Pyramid rocks the house in the movie, even if he is only in like 3 scenes. They should make some SH: Gaiden game, where you are Red Pyramid, going around raping mannequins and ripping the skin off of bitches.
