Silent Hill coming to the Silver Screen

tis true, another in the continuing trend of video game movies riding on the coat-tails of resident evil. Silent Hill is slated for release on the 21st of this month. (april) Silent Hill was originally released for the play station by konami in 1999, and like the movie was about a mother searching for her lost child in the town of Silent Hill. taken from wikipedia:

What distinguishes the Silent Hill games from other survival horror games (such as Resident Evil) is that Silent Hill focuses on story, character, and atmosphere rather than action and violence. There are plenty of monsters to fight in Silent Hill, and plenty of weapons with which to fight them. But there are also complex puzzles to solve, detailed--and often disturbing--environments to explore, and engaging stories revealed through numerous cinematic cut scenes. Each game unfolds like a movie with several possible endings; the player's choices during the game determine which ending actually occurs.

should be a pretty sick movie.
