i wasnt as much scared as visually freaked there is a difference, pyramid head was much more imposing on the big screen. My wife and i both let out an evil laugh when he appeared. NOONE in the theatre here knew it was based on a video game and they all loved it.. This type of movie didnt exactly follow the usual horror formula. It did what silent hill does best, it doesnt give you time to figure out whats going on. It also gives yu a sense of apprehension more than fear. that ending also wrks better than the game ending would have for a movie audience, though i was wondering if they were going to go with the games "god resurrection" story or not. in a way im glad they didnt since it would have been tougher to do in a 2 hour film.
