I’ve been talking about Silent Hill quite a bit recently. Mainly because I was expecting a really kick-ass movie. Well, it was pretty kick-ass! It wasn’t the greatest movie I have ever seen but then again that is true of every movie except one (the one that was the greatest movie I have ever seen, to be honest I’m not really sure which one that is).

So yeah, while I haven’t played the game much I’m reliabily informed it sticks quite closely to the game’s storyline so fans of the game will have something to look forward to and from my point of view as a fairly un-knowledable consumer of the Silent Hill franchise, I can say that it’s a good movie for those who haven’t played the game too.

It’s fairly scary. It’s more creepy than scarry. I wasn’t really scared but there were people in the cinema that it did scare. Two of them were sat next to me :p. It was scary enough to make them scream at certain points. The creepyness it what Silent Hill was really all about though and while it doesn’t have the invisible evil that really makes a good horror (you see the bad guys) it was still very creepy.

The storyline really comes together at the end. Maybe I should have spotted it earlier but I didn’t fully understand until it was all laid out. Not that it was blindingly obvious then though, I still got questions which were mostly along the lines of “huh? I was following it up until the end.”

But yeah, good movie. Take people who get scared by creepyness, it really gets the atmosphere going :D.
