Cage/Feldman: In a Silent Way

Advantages: A great and atmospheric survival horror...
Disadvantages: Maybe too disturbing for some...

.... James is startled by her appearance - as she bears a strong resemblance to his long-lost Mary - although her clothes and hair-style are vastly different to that of Mary - along with her personality. Is this woman Mary or someone completely unrelated to her and James? The only way to find out the truth is to venture into the desolate town of Silent Hill? GAMEPLAY The game is played in a third person perspective. Thankfully the in-game camera is generally unobtrusive to the player. You can walk around in the game - or run if you feel the need to (and believe me when I tell you that you WILL want to run). As the game unfolds, James will encounter many terrifying creatures from which he will have to confront and attack - or run from. As with the original game, James finds an old radio that appears not to work - but strangely... Read review

...History tells us that movies based on video games don't work. Over the years we've had cinematic classics such as Streetfighter, Super Mario Bros, Mortal Kombat, Doom and to an extent Tomb Raider. All have been lacking in anything resembling a decent movie but still Hollywood persists because it's an idea they don't have to develop much, an audience is already there although the box office for some of these mentioned movies suggests otherwise. Now I have to admit, I've never seen or played the game on which this movie is based. In truth I don't know a lot about video games but I do know about movies and quite frankly Silent Hill must come close to topping the list of mindnumbing cinematic experiences. Please bear in mind that I actually sat through Date Movie the other week so I don't choose my words lightly. The movie opens... Read review
