I think it’s one of the best video game movie adaptations ever made, and a pretty damn good horror movie in general. It doesn’t get everything entirely right, but I think they nailed the atmosphere
It's definitely worth a watch and i think i'll soon be rewatching it. With that said... I really don't think it's a good adaptation. It's the kind of loud and obnoxious strand of horror from 2000s American movie remakes as opposed to the Japanese atmospheric originals.
The visuals are good. The acting is fine. The script and direction are horrendously lackluster and take a generic horror movie plot that wouldn't even be good for a Sci fi special and fry it in Silent Hill batter. 3/10.

A significant advantage this film has is the excellent quality of its source material. When Silent Hill was released in 1999, it was praised for its great storytelling and effective scares, with the all-encompassing feeling of dread and isolation becoming the series’ hallmark.

As mentioned above, the film features various characters with some lifted straight from the video game, and others either altered or created especially for the big screen. The most obvious change is that of the protagonist from Harry Mason (father to the young girl Cheryl) to Rose Da Silva who is the mother of this same child, now named (the more c...
While these characters are integral to both the video game and its big screen adaptation, many consider the town itself to be the main character; this perspective has only gained further credence as the video game series has progressed. Consequently, the film faced a daunting task in bringing the foggy, deserted, and demonic town to life, and I bel...
While the characters (including the town itself) within the film are excellent, it’s worth mentioning the superb job the costumes and special effects do of bringing the Otherworld and its abhorrent creations to life. From Cybil’s police uniform and Christabella’s religious garb, to Dahlia Gillespie’s ashen-grey, tattered dress, the movie does a ste...
Many believe the soul of Silent Hill is its music, and it’s implemented excellently at key points during the film. In fact, the only song heard that’s not from the series’ soundtrack is Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire. From the dream-like piece playing as Rose awakens from her car accident and enters the eponymous town, to the industrial cacophony heard...
As I’m sure you’ve noticed by now, I consider the Silent Hill film to not only be one of the best video game movie adaptations, but also a great film based on its own artistic merit. From the faithful recreation of the video game’s tone, atmosphere, setting, and score, to the little alterations that enrich the fictional universe, these various aspe...
