... Silent Hill. <I can't believe it's not butter> This movie was awesome.

I usually dread game to big screen adaptations, but this is the best attempt by far - Resident Evil 1 was pretty good, RE2 was lame(had some funny parts though), and Doom3 was laughable.

Grant it I haven't played much of the games in the series, but I pretty much know the jist of the series from my friend telling me about it. From what I can tell, this story takes place before the first Silent Hill game on PS1.

Anyway, the movie didn't have the typical Hollywood bullshit 'in a can' (Tony Scott, George Lucas, Spielberg, etc).

I totally want to see this movie. I also thought that RE1 was a decent film for Hollywood standards ... RE2 was disappointing. Never saw Doom -- I don't even remember it being advertised.

Dude, I love the Super Mario Bros. movie! (even though it's not like the game much at all

)

What would you say the movie is like in a nutshell. Is it spiritistic, or just more of a Twilight Zone? I've heard the first 3 Silent Hill's are pure Twilight Zone, with the 4th one being spiritistic, which I don't like.

Yeah, but you probably liked it because of its cheese factor

It's a little bit of both, but it sure is disturbing

I can't believe it was just an "R" rating. I'm definitely buying the "unrated" version when it comes out

Speaking of cheese, have you seen Robot Chicken on adult swim? Last sunday there was a clip about, "I can't believe... this is Ron Jeremeys butter?!".

I blew coffee out my nose.

I have only seen Robot Chicken once but man that's awesome seeing Ron Jeremy in a Mario costume!

By the way, two other great cheesy game based movies are Double Dragon and Street Fighter... especially Double Dragon
