i don't think they died in the crash, they just got transported to the silent hill fog world (including the vehicles).

the pyrmaid head is suppose to be in the 2nd video game. he is supposed to be a executioner type person... you'll understand if you play SH2.

and for SH2 the movie, i hope they are staying with the SH2 storyline with james as the main character. I think i like that game out of all of the SH game that came out.

Without playing the games, I didnt completely understand the story line and what really happened to her at the end. I am assuming she died or is in some alternative universe?

BORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRING


ACtually

The movie was hilarious. Im the type that can't stand horrors because I keep closing my eyes. Even in someting as "weak" as Snakes on a Plane I kept flinching and closing my eyes because I couldn't stand all the snake bites.

But in this movie I couldn't keep my trap shut. I was laughing SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO loud in the threatre I think I may have ruined it for others. Sooo much bad acting, so many stupid lines (What cop tells a mob of undead "What the fvck is wrong with all of you"? THEY ARE UNDEAD THAT IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM), and things that were absolutely ridiculous. I'm a Biomedical Engineering Major and i just couldn't stop laughing at the fact that some of these guys seemed to carry nearly limitless supply of blood as they sat there and BLED AND BLED AND BLED.

Poor Movie, bad ACting...absolutely hilarious.

Makes me want to watch Jason X ;)

I just watched it a couple of nights ago. It was probably one of the most disgusting, cheesiest and un-scary movies that I have ever seen. I found myself laughing through most of the movie, but cringing at some of the more disgusting parts. One of the worst movies ever IMO.

Watched it last night. Not horribly bad, but not particularly great. The atmosphere and setting were pretty good, as was the sound - but the story really didn't go to any place particularly interesting. Not at all scary, surprisingly - which I guess is good. I really hate movie like the Ring and Grudge, with cheap scares, but this one never really instilled in me any sense of danger.

I mean, you always know the hero/heroine is going to make it, but in a good movie, you still kinda wonder if they are going to make it through a particually tough scene - but never in this one. I just expected her to fall asleep and wake back up, all safe and sound again.

I also never played the game. I've played a bit of SH4, but I find it rather boring.

6/10

I agree. This movie was decent at best. Where the heck were all the dissenting reviews a few days ago :). I picked it up soley on most of the reviews in this thread, but was a little dissappointed. I guess saying it is a good game to movie conversion is like saying I had a ok colon exam last week..........

Not particularly scary. Good effects, decent monster's, etc. Fairly "creepy" but just not that scary. Maybe I needed more cheap scares?

I liked it, by far not the best horror movie ever made, but fun nonetheless.

Don't see anything good coming from a sequeal however, the'll over do the effects & kill the story i'm sure.

never played the games, but the effects and sound in this movie were very cool. then ending kind of dragged on and could have been stronger

I wished that they employed the mindfvck that Silent Hill 2 did. They went for scary, but nothing like the head-shaking like in Jacob's Ladder or hearing breathing in a room or something like that that you'd see in the game.

It had a lot of potential, but didn't use it. Still a good movie.
