Silent Hill is one of the best videogame adaptations although, given the level of competition, that isn't exactly a glowing endorsement! However, last time I saw it, I thought it was a pretty solid effort and was about a 7/10 film.
I thought the game was superb and always asked my brother to bring his PlayStation 2 into my room (which had, and still has, surround sound) and play it with the lights off, curtains closed and volume turned up high. He always agreed but, not being a huge horror fan, would tend to get a little freaked out and scared by the crackling radio which would move around the room depending on which way the guy was facing. That made it much easier to find whatever 'winged beast' or skinless dog was around, but it eventually would become too intense for him and he'd take his console elsewhere and play another game!
Anyway, I haven't seen Silent Hill for a long time so should probably add it to my Lovefilm rental queue.
