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 had gone and seen it opening day, and I have a bit of a mix feeling about it actually. Standing alone as a movie, I think that it has a few problems. The acting was undeniably stale at times. The story, although it made sense, was a bit convoluted and messy. Not to mention it perhaps goes a bit overboard on the gore. But looking at it from another perspective, its everything a video game to movie transition should be. You can complain that they dumbed down the story a bit, but it wasn't meant to be an exact remake of the first game (as made completely obvious by the female lead). But what you can't deny is the fact that it looks and feels like you're actually playing one of the games. It truly brings the game's experience to the screen, and its truly the first movie based on a video game to do that. As for serianis, you're complaining that the movie fails to bring the experience, but what is it really lacking in that respect? Other than some of the complexity of the story, which juts can't transition to a movie. A large portion of Silent Hill's storyline was relying on you playing it more than once, and that just doesn't work for a movie. It had to be changed, and I think they chagned it just enough to keep the tone and pacing. |
