You know, probably one of the best VG-movies that I have ever seen. As many have said, it had that Silent Hill atmosphere just nailed. It wasn't as scary, but you definitely got the feeling that it was the Silent Hill that we all know and love from the games. Yeah, making a girl the main character was a little strange, but not too bad. As Nominus Experse said, the first half hour or so was just trying to set up a decent plot. I think the funniest scene was the opening where the girl cornily screamed, "Silent Hill!" over and over.

The monsters were amazing. I loved Pyramid Head. He's probably my favorite monster from those games, and they just made him perfectly. I especially enjoyed the scene where Rose and Cybil were in that one room and Pyramid Head was sticking his sword through the door trying to get them. Very reminiscient of the elevator scene in SH2 where Marie dies for the first time.

However, the whole idea of introducing someone on the outside world who was trying to get to them and how they never got transported to Dark Silent Hill, but whatever. It was only a minor plot hole. The cult to me seemed a bit much, what with their whole "burn the witch" thing. I mean, they said it to everyone, like, even some of their own members.

I must agree with others, the "last boss" was freaking awesome, picking people up with the barbed wire or whatever it was. That was pretty cool. I think they ended it perfectly. They managed to get out alive but they were still in the alternate reality that Dark Silent Hill is in. So in they end, they were in the same room, but neither of them knew it and even if they did, they couldn't do anything about it.

Overall, I found it pretty good. A lot better than I expected, especially considering the name that this movie had to live up to. Sure there are better horror movies out there, but this one is still pretty good. I'll definitely be getting it when it comes out on DVD.
