You know, the SH movie that came out a couple years ago. Or 2. Not sure, but it sure seemed forgettable. I just grabbed one of the DVDs from my store (we had free movies for those who pre-ordered this game) and am watching the behind-the-scenes. The writers claimed they wanted to keep the spirit of Silent Hill intact and consequently intense, scary, etc. I myself have never touched a game in the series, I'm not always into horror games. Therefore I wanted to know what people thought of the movie and reasons why they hated or liked it.

My personal favorite scene was the Bogeyman ripping the girls skin off.

I'm not a fan but i walked out of it and I've never bothered to finish watching it.

Which is why you enjoyed the RE movies.

I like both the Silent Hill movie (mainly because Sean Bean is my favorite actor) and SH4. I've never played any of the SH games, but I've watched someone playing SH4 and I'd actually play that one (the apartment was my favorite place... or "the room").

I like it. It certainly doesn't hurt that they used Akira Yamaoka's music throughout, save for Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash.

I am not someone who knows much about the series, so I went into the movie with no expectations. I found that the film was rather stupid and not that interesting, but I thought the visual style and the effects were great. I really wanted to see a sequel because I believed that there was chance for a good movie to come out of this SH "world".

For everything the movie did right, it did something wrong. The one major downside is that it simply wasn't scary, making it rather pointless. It did get the looks right (mostly), but it didn't do anything it. It was rather shallow and boring, which is as far from the games as you can get.
I'm not complaining about how they should have told the game's story instead... I'm all for using only certain elements and telling one's own story, but... it was a very simple story, told very unsubtly.

I enjoyed it, mainly due to fanservice. But in retrospect, it's disappointing.

I liked the movie a lot.  The thing is that you can't go into a movie based on a video game and expect them to make the video game with actors and a movie camera.  If so, of course you will be disappointed.  I think Christopher Gans did a brilliant job of capturing the Silent Hill world while offering up a very twisted vision of it from his own PoV.  Radha Mitchell was excellent for the role, and there were enough little things in the movie that made me happy.
