No Harry Mason...But still good!

Comfort Rooms: Bloody Sticky
Radha Mitchell in "Silent Hill"

A video game based film named with the same title. Only that the main character in the game was a male portrayal, Harry Mason. Actually I was expecting him to be in this one. I played the video game way way back when I was in grade 6 if I'm not mistaken and yes, with Playstation. The game itself was scary and frustrating while I was still paying it. And I have a walk-through with me by my side to make sure I make my every move safe...I'm such a chicken! =)

The movie was excellent. As I watch it, it kinda brings me back to some of the streets, buildings, the aura of the "hill" itself just like in the game. They did a good job maintaining the feel and the looks of the setting. Even the small "imps", the Midwich Elementary School, Hotel, Hospital...totally wicked! As for the character changes they have made, I think they worked well. The acting was great, although not all scenes were really scary for me.

Another thing, the movie runs for about 2 hours and five mins. Yeah I kinda checked my watch inside the movie house and said, wow ang tagal ata nito. Maybe that's one of its downsides, some scenes are just plainly out of control. Like...hmmm I think the character playing Rose's husband (Sean Bean), is somehow saddled with a subplot that could be removed from the film and nobody would even notice. Anyway, I think the movie's great for both gamers and non-gamers alike. Still another one to "scream" about. My rating: 6/10(big fan of the game kasi)
