SILENT HILL [2006]

Normally film adaptations of video games are best avoided like the plague but somehow Brotherhood Of The Wolf director Christophe Gans and Pulp Fiction writer Roger Avary make Silent Hill work.
Sure, it's got some awkward performances, questionable character actions and bad script rewrites but it's all made up for in it's haunting atmosphere, gorgeous visuals and twisted philosophies that are genuinely faithful to it's source material.  
It's not an instant classic but will certainly please fans and anyone tired of terrible video game "adaptations" starring Milla Jovovich.
