Very good movie up till the final conflict and then it goes downhill from there. The ending bites. Before that it is really good creepy movie. Excellent special effect creatures.

It was pretty, and there were parts I liked, such as the monsters (I thought they got them right on) and overall, the visual effects. Very well done. But the plot was horrible, and it’s a bad sign when the entire audience laughs at dramatic moments. Plus, it just didn’t feel creepy to me, even though I felt as though it should have. Something was missing. Like a reason to care about what happened to any of the characters.

I was told by a Silent Hill fan that it was excellent if you had played and liked the games (I haven’t gotten around to playing more than 20 minutes of SH3 yet, myself, although I want to), and he also agreed that as a movie, it was crap.

I might watch it again, but only if it wasn’t going to cost me anything (ie when my fiancé buys the DVD, since he liked it).

Even though a few character points were changed, I think this movie was pretty good for a survival horror video game turned movie. Much better than some (i.e. Alone in the Dark, Doom). I think that if you are familiar with the Silent Hill video games you will see the similarities better some of the camera angles in the movie and the game. I think fans of Silent Hill should definitely go see this movie.
