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.

It was a letdown somewhat, I expected more scare behind the whole movie. The twisting and turning of the original plot changed the whole factor behind the Silent Hill story. Where was Samael? Where was Metraton/Metatron? Alessa was supposed to be REBORN, not have a baby.

The whole scare-factor of the movie was more geared towards freaking you out and disgusting you with morbid abominations. All my gripes aside, it was a good movie, but didn't really give me the same feeling the games could. Perhaps if I hadn't played the games, and just heard about them, the movie would've been much better. And that's MY opinion.
