Saw it yesterday and im thinking it s the best game to film conversion yet. it is a good film, not amazingly fantastic but still a fun watch. to anyone who doesnt know much about the game im sure its quite bizarre. it was scary in parts. Acting was ok. better then most. gore was brilliant. tad strange watching a film with game music. but of course luckily no numetal fight scenes.
babies nurses and cool dude with big paper hat on. all awsome.

I just saw it today. It did justice to the game and I loved it, there were a few things I feel should have been different. But I won't go into that because we dont have a spoiler feature ...yet.

my friend told me it was great. pyramid head rips off someone's skin. it will win the oscar for sure, as this symbolic act will likely be interpreted as the shroud being ripped off the body of the iraq war, where we see the bleeding innocence beneath. it is truly moving.
and yes, it looks extremely good. and i am a fan of the games.

I've read a few reviews of it, seems like the people that have played the game really like it, and the people that don't play or ''get'' videogames, don't. Guess that's good news. Luckily I've played all the Silent Hill games multiple times and understand the lore and mythos and all that, I'll ''get it'' and I'm looking forward to it. Actually I'm downloading a cam version right now but I'm thinking I should probably just not even bother, since that won't do the visuals justice.
How was Pyramid Head?

All signs point to ''play the muhfuggin' games first or you won't get it''. Plus you should play the games anyway because they're awesome.

It's probably like for Resident Evil.
People who played the games, like myself, appreciate the movies more than people who didn't.
Though, I also heard that someone didn't like the movies at all. Well, Different tastes.

Yeah I should definitely buy some of them. Maybe I should start with the second or the third episode, once Drunken Mastah told me so.

HAHAHAHHAA, you liked Resident Evil? I thought that the hatred (justified) among the fans of the game was especially strong. It's not a case of different tastes, it's a case of taste and lack thereof.

Resident Evil was really really bad, not faithful to the games at all.
I can see why people unfamiliar with the Silent Hill games would not like the movie. If it IS faithful (unlike Resident Evil and say, uh, Super Mario Bros.), then it must be a mindfuck and I can't imagine them being able to compress all the info and lore from the series into 2 hours. Roger Ebert would be out of his element for sure.
Tridenti- Promise me you will play at least Silent Hill 1 and Silent Hill 2. Promise me.

If I like the movie I'm undoubtedly going to be moved to play at least the first 3 games again.

Yeah indeed you're right. Maybe Resident Evil Apocalypse had something of Resident Evil 3 on Ps1, but it wasn't still faithful to the games. I just liked them like normal "horror" movies.
I think that a game totally inspired to Resident Evil 4 would be tha blast, it would definitely rule the world.
Ophie: Don't worry, I already planned to ask to some mates of mine, which should have the games, to lend me at least the first episode.

I saw it yesterday.. it was fucking awesome (as a silent hill movie)! They kept true to the no sudden bursts of loud sound continuous suspense feeling of the game.. the music, as it was the original, was great and contributed to the feel of the movie.
one of the best scenes is when she's running from the [...] in the school right after having just barely seen them; you get the feeling that you'd do exactly the same as her.. jump at the smallest sight and run like hell.. then suddenly while you're running you find out you don't know shit about the place you're in, so every door has you thinking "oh damn damn damn what if it's locked?!" and you also have this feeling that they're right behind you all the time, even if they may not even have seen you in the first place.
the only thing I'd have done differently is that I wouldn't have shown the face of the nurse towards the end of the scene where she's crying... I'd just have left it at that.

When it comes to horror-movies I'm easy to satisfy. This movie however was a piece of crap. The first 20 mins was promising, but the rest was like listening to this track over and over again for two hours.

well, doom3 doesn't actually fall under the category of silly. People looking for silly usually steer clear of games featuring graphic violence, nightmarish lighting and hellacious monsters. :D
