Synopsis: "When her father disappears, Heather Mason is drawn into a strange and terrifying alternate reality that holds answers to the horrific nightmares that have plagued her since childhood."
Experience: After visiting a haunted house with friends of mine, we decided to see this movie yesterday evening. All in all, it somewhat followed the game itself. More changes were made, character wise, but the plot still stayed the same. Music from the actual games were used, but some were remixed with other Silent Hill songs or remixed completely still keeping the melody and point of the song. Great effects and battle scenes, to the point that you root for a particular character towards the end of movie. Sean Bean (known for Lord of the Rings trilogy series and first Silent Hill movie), once again played the father roll and does well for the part and the rest of the cast are known for tv shows, newcomers, or video game series. We do get a view of Radha Mitchell, who did play the mother in the first Silent Hill movie as her character again and Deborah Unger as Dahlia character again. There is explanation throughout the movie, if you have never seen the first movie or never played the game series, so you don't really have to worry about it. Great effects, battle scenes, great acting from all the actors, great 3D effects in some points of the movie (you almost feel like reaching out and grabbing some ashes) and I can definitely say I know how Heather felt when going through Silent Hill... the Haunted House experience made me feel like I was in Silent Hill in some moments, especially if I went dressed like her to it! Minor down sides to it was changes to a particular character and remixes of songs from the games during some scenes.
Rating: ***** 5/5 stars

Side note: Funny thing happened in the theater. A guy fell asleep during the movie and his snores were beyond loud, to the point that all of us in the room laughed at them. I laughed, so did my friends, but it ticked me off the most! Hopefully this doesn't happen to you and enjoy the movie!!
