My son aged 11 and myself watched this movie last night not knowing what to expect as we had not heard of the game or really what the DVD was about.
I was ready to pack my son off to bed but never really felt the need and he was very pleased to survive to the end of the movie with only a few jumps and starts.
The story starts off with a daughter(Sharon) who is a bit messed up and a mother(Rose) who wants to help Sharon out of her illusions and nightmares. Rose ends up taking Sharon to Silent Hill which is a town that had been evacuated due to a coal fire beneath it. When they arrive at Silent Hill Sharon disappears and Rose has to look for her in silent hill. A policewoman gets involved and tries to help out. The policewoman does try to take Sharon out of the town, but they are cut off.
Every so often in the town a siren goes off and this is when all the nasties come out. When the siren goes off again daylight comes back and everything turns normal again. Rose and the policewoman have no choice but to search for Sharon in the town. Along the way the plot unfolds, and some questions are answered.
It all gets a bit confusing here, as we knew nothing about the game or the movie come to that when we started it. This didn't really bother us as the film progressed, as the effects were pretty good but not so scary that my son ended up running to the toilet.
At the end, though we couldn't really work out what had happened. To us the story was a little confusing and hard work, but the effects were good and kept us watching to the end. there is a bit towards the end of the film that tries to unfold the plot and makes things a little clearer, but not quite enough.
I don't think this is really a failing of the film as it keeps you guessing to the end and then for a bit after the film, perhaps the beer didn't help.
