As I don't watch Smallville, I didn't recognise Erica Durance and, breasts or no breasts, House of the Dead is still, like just about every one of Uwe Boll's videogame adaptations, virtually unwatchable.

Maybe you could take that scene in isolation, watch it on rotation and forget about everything else in the film?!

In parts of Silent Hill 2 and all of 3 you play as a woman, so that point isn't exactly true! In fact, don't you play part of 4 as a woman too? thought it was a pretty good film to be honest, and at the cinema the blackout with the sirens was excellent!

One of the few decent videogame adaptation

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.

I haven't seen it since the cinema to be fair, so I might do the same!

I do remember Sean Bean's accent being absolute cock though!

Can't remember it to tell you the truth.

Wonder if Silent Hill: Revelation will be any better? Sean may have perfected his accent by next year.

Because of the way his name is spelt, my mum jokingly pronounces his name 'Seen Been'!

I can't remember much about the film apart from a few scenes and, for some reason which I now can't remember and don't want to find out until I watch it again, felt disappointed by the ending.
