Also I agree about the scare factor. I had hopes from the playing the insanely scary games that it could be the most scary movie ever. But not being in control of the character made it not scary at all. =( Must be able to do something about that.

I don't really think that it was about being in control or not; the "scary scenes" just weren't in the movie at all.
Even when I watch someone play the games, I get creeped out during some parts. At the beginning of SH3 for example, while I was watching my brother play it, I got the heebie-jeebies seeing blood-soaked amusement park rabbits chasing after the girl. It was just freaky.
But in the movie, what was there? The stupid midget monster things? Pyramid Head (sparingly)? There should have been crazy monster-on-monster sex and mutilation! That's what makes Silent Hill so scary, it's the creepiest game series in existence. The movie was so toned down I felt like I wasn't even watching a Silent Hill story at all, but a typical "scary movie".
If it wasn't for PH ripping off some skin and throwing it at the church doorway, I doubt I would have been able to watch it until the end.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
