Absolute rubbish. It's not remotely scary, the themes and execution are heavy-handed as hell, and the writing across the board is juvenile at best. Worst of all are the live-action cutscenes that feature the worst dubbing I've seen since watching a VHS copy of John Woo's Hard Boiled back in the 90s as a wee nipper. Konami's attempt at reviving the Silent Hill IP is going to fall flat on its face if this, Ascension and that trailer for SH2 at the SoP are anything to go by.

Actually no, worst of all is the final chase sequence that elicits raw frustration more than anything resembling fear or panic. You have to run around in a maze avoiding the world's unscariest monster, and collect five random mahoojiggies in order to open the way forward. It is awful.

P.T. this ain't.
