Silent Hill Movie (May contain SPOILERS Read at your own risk)

I have only ever played the very first Silent Hill and found it to be a bit creepy and to be full of wierd creatures and scary monsters. But being a fan of all the Resident Evil games was totally unharmed by the harsh world that Silent Hill had created and to be quite honest found it to be far to slow in comparison to its cousin the Resident Evil saga.
So in turn it put me off carrying on with the series of Silent Hill and instead played Resi 3,4 code veronica, devil may crys, project Zero and the list goes on.
Then i got word of a film idea that was in the works of being made and that it would follow but not copy its game history.
That film was Resident Evil which was released exactly one year after i heard about it. It was what i expected them to do, which was to make more action than that of suspense. Although saying that it has its moments. And in normal Resi style they left it open for the sequel, where i think they really went to town. Resi 2 saw everyones worst but favourite baddy, apart from of course the very cool Wesker, Nemisis. Their he was on the big screen and he looked like he could with stand a moving train not alone blow it to smitherines with the huge 5000 shot chain gun and the massive rocket launcher he just happens to carry around with him.
What im trying to say is that Nemisis is wicked and no-one can change my mind.
So answer me this: Why in the world did he get beaten by a girl?!!!!!
So ok she is super fast and has extra strength but get real that is the Nemisis girlfriend and he can wup anything in his path.
Anyway i did like the they left you waiting for the third. In of course great hope that they include other great baddies such as Wesker or another Nemisis. OK so maybe im being a bit optimistic but with film developers its just about the only thing we can be.
Im safe in the knowledge that they cant mess up Resi 5 at least or can they hmmm
Well they had better not do cuz it is near damn impossible due to the fact that it is the original hero Chris Redfeild and it has zombies unlike four, the graphics should and i say should in a way that if they are not i will kick everyone's ass.... should be amazing!
The main reason i wrote this blog was to say that when i heard about the Silent Hill film i passed it by without another thought and did not even consider watching it.
The reason being was that when i played the first Silent Hill it made me wanna stop and play Resiendent Evil. Where as watching Resident Evil made me not watch Sient Hill.
My thought was that if a great game like Resi can ony make a half ass attempt at a film then what is a slow and ony reasonably scary game like Silent Hill gonna do.
It was not until i came hear i saw the making of Sient Hill 2 and it got me thinking that maybe i shoud give the games a second chance. So i went in search of some info about the second game only to find that to just get the good ending you would have to play it through four times.
That was it as far as i was concerned i had had enough.
When i got back to my halls, i was talking with one of my flat mates and he al of a sudden came out with "oh i have the film Silent Hill if you want to watch it".
Of course i said yes why not at east i can say i had watched it and to be honest i had seen the trailers of it and it looked quite good.
I could not believe it, i was glued to the screen from start to finish and then when i had watched it i watched it again. The film far suppassed the game in my oppinion. It was amost ment to be a film. I liked it so much i may even go out and buy the special Edition with all the extras and stuff.
If it is a film that all gamers and horror fans must watch!
I have even gone as far as to think that after a these years i have been completely wrong about the games and will force mysef to play them.
Till next time Cya
