10 Video Game Movie Scenes That Actually NAILED IT
10. Arriving In Silent Hill - Silent Hill
Though it ultimately succumbs to a convoluted script, 2006's Silent Hill is probably the most visually accomplished and stylistically reverent video game movie to date.
By far the most impressive and source-faithful scene in the entire movie occurs near the beginning, when protagonist Rose (Radha Mitchell) crashes her car and wakes up in the fog-blanketed titular town.
As a weary Rose takes her first steps into Silent Hill and soaks in the creepily lifeless streets, it's clear that director Christophe Gans has intently studied the opening sequence from the first video game, which it mirrors with a staggering exactitude.
If so many video game movies fail to capture the basic style and tone of the game itself, you certainly can't say that about Silent Hill.
From the moment Rose lands in the town, it oozes with the same anxiety-riddled atmosphere that made the games so uniquely unsettling.
The less said about that second movie, though, the better.
