I honestly can't wait for this movie to come out. I am a huge fan of the video game series and think if properly done it could turn into a great movie. Now i guess we just have to wait and see. Though those trailers do look really good.

*****possible spoiler*****
I saw it and really wanted my money back after the show. I thought it was directed very well, but the script was lousy, and the ending made no sense at all to me, other than them maybe vaguely trying to foreshadow a sequel. At least some of the FX were cool. But again, don't see this picture, unless you want to be severly disappointed.

I went and saw Silent Hill the night it came out with some buddies of mine. A lot of us generally expected a fairly good scare, but we didn't get one. We left the theater confused and wondering what half of the things in the movie meant. I knew a little about the game so I tried to explain it based on what I knew. They were still confused. Ah well, we had a good laugh at some of the parts, even moreso when it got all silent and some girl in front of us dropped an F-Bomb when her phone started ringing really loud.

For a videogame adaptation, it's not as bad as you'd think it would be, but it's not as good, given the source material. Someone mentioned this on the PA forums, and I just thought I'd share:
