20 Years Later, the Best Video Game Movie Ever Made Remains a Horror Masterpiece

Two decades after its release, Silent Hill remains the rare video game adaptation that understood the assignment: terror isn't about jump scares, it's about dread that seeps into your bones. Christophe Gans' horror movie turns 20 today, and while the film wasn't well received on its release, the years have revealed a much more nuanced and chilling experience. As movie adaptations become box office gold, this 2006 chiller's devoted cult following points to it as a sign of a film that understood its source material. Looking back, it's clear to see why.
