Excellent Blu Ray

I love the film Silent Hill. It is one of the only films that takes it's videogame source material and doesn't make it awful. Silent Hill really feels like Silent Hill. The Blu Ray looks excellent, and the sound is uncompressed which sounds great. I don't know why I've heard so many poor things about the video. I own the DVD as well, and did a side by side comparison test, and it was like night and day. If you already own the DVD, you owe it to yourself to BUY the Blu Ray if you love this movie.

Another Great Movie Made From Game DVD

I really don't know why a lot of the supposed professional movie reviewers gave this movie such a bad grade if your a fan of the games or not it still was a great horrific movie. To those who have played Silent Hill 1 through 3 we all know the basics of the storyline and of course with Hollywood producers there are going to be some changes in the movie that differ from the game. This movie storyline does seem to follow-up with the first except instead of the father you have the mother coming to Silent Hill to try and help her adopted daughter remember her past that she has about Silent Hill. Again if your a fan and played the game I'm sure we all remembered the Pyramid Head guy from the game he to will also be in the movie as well as a few other recognizable creatures from Silent Hill. The actors they got to play in the movie were great no complaints for any of them and the special effects were spectacular too. There is a great deal of difference in the picture detail and audio between the standard dvd an the blu-ray dvd
but I feel it was mostly the audio a lot of background noises and other things you didn't hear before with the standard dvd you hear excellently with the blu-ray dvd. So if your looking for a good horror movie or a good supernatural movie this one would be a good dvd for your library..

Great movie, but you lose the bonuses

I owned the original DVD and was excited to add this on blu-ray.

I love the movie and it actually to me looked pretty darn good. It had plenty of clarity to me and just plain looked better and was an improvement over my plain DVD version.

The problem is that all the great bonus features are all gone! I really enjoyed all the bonus materials and it really upset me that they couldn't make this version truly BETTER.

Great movie, mediocre product

Film adaptations of video game franchises seem to take a lot of harsh criticism; right so, so most of them are cheesy and easily distinguishable as an attempt to make money off some dying game franchise, as opposed to an attempt to actually make a great movie that will be remembered for years to come. Enter Silent Hill, a movie that takes a bit here and there from a couple of the Silent Hill games, then says "You know what? Let's just make something good; something we can call our own."

The film doesn't canonically follow the series. The film resembles the original Silent Hill at its basic plot, but deviates in terms of characters and certain events. This may be a good or bad thing for devoted Silent Hill fans; the story may be viewed as independent, or it may be frustratingly inaccurate. Characters from later games also make brief appearances.

The visual effects in the film are great, Unfortunately, there's still a bit of noise/grain in the dark areas of the picture. It's not necessarily distracting, just something I always look for, so I do end up noticing it.

The Blu-ray version doesn't come with any of the special features the regular DVD version comes with, which broke my heart. I never watch any special features, but I feel entitled to them after paying nearly double for Blu-ray. It's important to decide whether or not Blu-ray is important to you. Is the scratch-resistance and larger format worth the price? Unless your TV is 52" or larger, you won't need the larger format.

My recommendation would be to definitely get the movie, just not the Blu-ray version.
