Review#89: Silent Hill (2006)
It’s incredible to me that the best movie made from a video game is based on my favorite videogame franchise. A fan of the Silent Hill games can watch this movie and not be infuriated by the hollywood wash most movies get. I swear a lot of the scenes seem like they are TRYING to replicate a computer generated cut-scene.
The movie contains all kinds of detail elements from the games amd mashes them together into one story similar to the way DC mashed the Multiverse together during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. They even incorporate the maps in, having the character memorize them to see where she’s going throught the town.
One of my favorite parts was when the pyramid headed guy from SH2 grabs a lady and pulls her skin off, throwing the carcass at the door of a church.
