Well I though the movie kicked ass. The guy with the big sword when he

thought it was just plain cool. And the effects when the darkness came
in ..the paint falling off the walls,and when the first set of monsters
turned to ash, It looked great on my LCD. It might help that I have it
hooked up to my stereo and I have a 1080p upscaler. There's tons of
movies that are much gorier ,but there just gory for the sake of being
gory , Silent Hill had a good story. I guess because I played the game
and could see allot of hints form other Silent Hills I liked it better
than the average person. But I think they nailed this one.

Like I said, the movie is great VISUALLY but fails to truly represent
the Silent Hill franchise. Part of the problem is that the story
behind Silent Hill is way too complicated to be able to translate into
one film, and the story is way too confusing when you only see a small
slice of the lore. They even had to have that ridiculous exposition
part in the end where one character was just explaining everything in
voiceover.

If you've played Silent Hill, you have a huge advantage because you
know about everything that's not shown in the movie. If you're a
person who's never played the game and has no idea what it's about,
you're going to be confused because the plot is shaky and incomplete
at best.
