I was great.... just like the game. 2 thumps up
I was not sure to see this movie after reading ever ones comments, I had to see it for my self. Yes the movie suck it was different and the acting was not all that great. so for the people that like the movie were you guys sleeping because there is nothing that was good about it...
Great film, made perfect sense to me so I don`t know what people are complaining about. Seemless flow of the story line even when your switching from one reality to the next. Definately worth going to see in a theatre for the creepy atmosphere alone.
worse movie ever...!!
i thought silent hill was awesome the best movie i saw and i played the first game.but if u dont play it u might not understand it but i did perfectly and im 11 yea i know i shouldn`t be watching these movies lol but anyways if u play the game you should understand it and you`ll like the movie and give it a 4 or 5.P.S. i thought sharon_(Jodelle Ferland) was cute lol
This was the best horror/thriller movie i`ve seen in months, and i watch alot of movies.
Scary as #@%$
Extremely boring. Bad direction. Very confusing story line. The movie sucked huge.
A friend told me this was a "good" movie. He also mentioned there is a really sad part about half way through that made some people break down and cry. Well.... He was right, about half way through I realized I had wasted my hard earned money to see this peice of crap. At which point I broke down and cried. You MIGHT be enterained by this movie if you have limited mental capacity (to the point that a ball of tin foil or other shinny objects keep you amused for hours) go see it. Otherwise wait for it to come out on late night TV.
What the heck was that ... I still don`t get it ... waste of money
this movie was the most pointless thing ive ever seen. i didnt know what was going on half the time, the entire theatre was laughing at the movie. no one knew what was going on. and the ending left you wonder what just happend.
It started too slow. Everyone around me was yawning. for the first hour and a half the movie was boring and made no sense. the last half hour of it was okay it was better then the beginning but it still wasn`t that good. Wait until it comes out on dvd before you see silent hill dont waste your money going to the theater.
The audience clapped when it was over. and not because they liked it
Was it just me or was this the most annoying, pointless movie ever. Everytime she yelled out her daughter`s name, it hurt my ears to the point that I wanted to yell "shut up". Worse movie ever!
No character depth. No backround... I gathered more from online reviews, and various synopsis`s that didn`t even resemble the movie I saw, than the movie itself. Im still confused.
it suckedddddddddddddddddddddddddd
Well done movie. Some of the images still haunt me a few days later.Not a "teenage" movie , requires thinking. A little confusing some time , wish the director had another hour at least to develop the story ( maybe an extended eddition on DVD ? It would be great ! ).
Great movie. But requires some thinking. Best adaptation of a video game I`ve seen.
Simply the best movie that was adapted from the game. Christophe Gans (the director) did his homework very well and this movie is made for the fans and forget the critics. I enjoyed each and every bit of it!! The direction was dead on flawless everywhere and the effects (the fog) were stupendous. I definitely would get the DVD version and my money was well spent :) I hope Mr. Gans comes back with Silent Hill 2.
boring, boring,and boring. I wouldn`t even rent the video
The anti-matrix. It`s about time and long overdue.
good!
horrible simply unwatchable
It was good
not really like the game. too bad...................
You have to play the game to really appreciate the movie. I got goosebumps when the scenes were so perfectly fitting to the Video Game. To boot - Im from Brantford, where most of the "town shots" took place and WOW it was fantastic. I can understand why the negative feedback as I feel you have to have played the game to understand and love the movie. To someone who has no background,it would seem like someone just running around amok. Enjoy it for what it is - a fantastic adaptation with the opportunity for a sequel!
This movie was as good as resident evil only it screwed with your mind big time!
Did I just see the same movie as you guys? That was bar none the worst movie I have ever seen. I wish i could give it a negative rating. In all honesty dont even download this movie.
great flick!
twisted and gloomy, as exhibited in the game. Several similar scences appeared and have been well defined under this topic. Yet the complete idea of silent hill series has not been seen in this movie. However, it turns out to be a great spinoff and is worth my $10 ticket.
For anybody criticizing the movie that hasn`t played the game; stop. You`re just making yourself look totally idiotic in front of those that played the actual game. For a gamer such as myself, I found this movie to capture the essence of Silent Hill, the game, itself. It is intellectually horrifying, philisophically profound, yet it delivers. The most important aspect of the movie was that it captures the mood and atmosphere surrounding the game perfectly; from the camera angles to the dark, mysterious surroundings. 5/5 (probably less if you haven`t played the game before)
B-rated acting, horrible writing, and an overall comedic movie with a horror genre category attached to it. The only thing worthwhile was the beautiful visuals. Someone was on something cheap when writing this movie. There are holes through out the whole movie. A sorry attempt at trying to be witty only made it worse. A babbling 1 year-old makes more sense then Silent Hill. Anyone who doesn’t think there should be a point to a movie is obviously entertained by watching grass grow which in my opinion is 10 times more enjoyable then this sorry, poor excuse for a so-called movie. Give me 10 bucks, a camcorder along with a Dora storybook a
The movie completly captured the atmosphre of the original game...there were some very scary scenes and the ending, although unexpected, was a thinker for sure.
I thought Silent Hill was an excellent adaptation of the video game, and a very terrifying movie. After being so dissapointed by the Resident Evil series, as realted to the games themselves, I was impressed with this movie. There were some truly terrifying scenes in this film, and the special effects were excellent.
I Don`t know what all these people are talking about. They have absolutely no taste in movies. Maybe it`s because as a film maker myself i can see other things that normally people wouldnt think about. Shot in Hamilton, Ontario. That`s awsome. I went to the locations they shot at and i got an eerie feeling from just being there. That must mean the movie had an impact on me. It was original too, no overkill, mostly a phsycological thriller. Definately the best video game movie ever made. Hope Christophe Gans is already in production for Silent Hill 2
this movie freaked me out in the beginning.. but i wish the ending was a little differant.. other then that, it was awsome.. i loved it and i hope everybody goes to watch it ~Matt~
Meh, it wasn`t scary, but sure twisted. And I loved it. 4/5 Stars.
Definitely one of the best game movies that have been released within a 2-3 year period. And it was a fairly good movie when speaking generally. I think the general audience would enjoy a freaky, gritty, hold on to your seat type of horror flick. I do recommend this movie if you`re looking for a nice horror film for great entertainment. In my opinion, DOOM was one of the worst game to film adaptations. It was a good movie in general, but NOTHING like the game!
Although this was one of the best "Game to Film" adaptation so far, but I still think Resident Evil is the best Game to film movie. Silent Hill was pretty good, however, but not as good when you`re looking at "Game to Film" adaptations. **** (4 Stars)
wow...wishes I could vote negative 5 stars for this one
a movie for thinkers. If you don`t like to think during films and prefer cookie cutter horror, then don`t see it. However, if you like intelligent horror with a fair share of gore and mystery too, then Silent Hill is amazing.
stupid movie. what a stupid movie.
well done. great directing, best game to movie i have ever seen. very original. ending was ok, i`ve seen better, but throughly enjoyed it...
horrible movie
Worst movie since..hmm, nope, actually it is the worst movie ever.... the theatre was packed, and a huge boo was heard at the end of the film...total garbage. like watching the opening sequence of a video game for 2 hours it never went anywhere, the acting was horrible, the plot was worse. If you even rent this your an idiot.
This Movie did have its moments but Like any Video game based movie Just didnt live up to the hype.
Not bad..but not good either. Not scary at all.
This is the kind of movie you either love it or hate it.Well I love it, a little bit confusing up to some point, excelent cinematics, best I`ve seen for a long time in a horror movie. I never played the game so I`m not familiar with the storry (in fact I hesitated going to the movie when I read that it`s based on a game). I`t not for sure a teenage type of horror movie, so be prepared. Once more for me it was worth the money, and it`s a keeper when it`s going to be released on DVD. 5 stars.
I thought it was whacked... but I loved it. It brought the game to life and that was the creepy part. Playing the game scared me so to see it on the big screen... you know what I`m saying. I would suggest if you have never played the game... don`t go see this movie as it will be disappointing. But if you did play the game before... you gotta see this... it`s so freaky!!!
This was a terrible movie. The story line was ridiculous and laughable. There were some good visual scenes but that was it. Not worth the $12. I can`t believe that anyone thought this was a good and/or scary movie.
