I just got around to watching the Silent Hill movie as a longtime fan of the games and was curious what everyone's consensus is on it. I'm glad the fandom at large seems to give it the credit it deserves because it's NOWHERE near the level of bad that was made out to me at release and by all the reviews.

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. So naturally the film had a great template with which to work. However, ...
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...

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...
Alongside the first two Resident Evil movies, I think the first Silent hill movie is the best video game movie out there. Excellent atmosphere, great use of Yamaokas music, and S tier monster designs and set pieces. The rest is definitely rough but I really enjoyed the movie overall
