Creepy, gruesome and highly atmostpheric, this movie has many moments, sights and sounds reminiscent of the games (AFAiK... I only played some of SH2) However the plot is not particularly comprehensible... the writer seems to be attempting to hammer elements of The Grudge and The Cell together to create a rationale of the whole Silent Hill 'universe' that doesn't seem very convincing. The metaphysical elements of Rose's search and ultimate fate aren't particularly convincing either. If you're a fan of the games you may get a kick out of it... if you just want to see a good horror movie, keep looking.
