Negative Positive
Title: Very solid,
Review: Sadly, a film of this genre is often simply an excuse to engage in special-effects excess, and, in terms of any positive content, very little else. Fortunately, this title brings much more to the table. Yes, there are special effects in Silent Hill, but they are actually quite understated, and they never become self-indulgent or otherwise upstage the cast. The mood and feel of the video game is present, but the film's story is entirely accessible to everyone, game-player or not. The performances are generally solid throughout, with little to nit-pick about. Clearly, this sort of film isn't everyone's cup of tea, but most horror film fans should be very pleased. This is a tight little gem of a horror movie.
