The only good thing about the movie was the cinematography and pyramid head.dokool wrote:What he said. Silent Hill is the best horror series in gaming because of the atmosphere and they did a good job in attempting to replicate it.Flint the Dwarf wrote:I'm not saying it was a great movie, but it wasn't that bad, especially as far as video game adaptations go. And I'm a huge horror movie fan (no, I don't think they're scary, or even supposed to be), so I guess I'm a little biased. It's not one of those movies that you can just laugh at the whole way through, because there's some reason in most of the character's actions. The story's just a little ridiculous, and the acting is... par. Par for Hollywood. Cinematography and score were great though.
Oh, and Pyramid Head. you can't go wrong w/ Pyramid Head.
Unfortunately the acting and the plot was awful. I'd have to disagree about the atmosphere as a whole because, really, the town was just plain empty half the movie. Most of the time it felt pretty safe and there was no tension as they just wandered around the streets. My favorite scene was the initial dark alleyway scene and it all just went downhill from there. I probably would have laughed my way through it if I wasn't busy getting annoyed at the character's actions and the unrealistic plot. The ending just kept dragging on, and it just wasn't enough to keep me from getting bored to tears by the end of the movie.
I have a hard time thinking of many other movies I can truly say that about. I'll stop ranting though.. I've said my piece...
