Director Christophe Gans narrates a horror tale skillfully. He has been faithful to the original game and recreates every plot in the film with great detail. His direction is good and many of the shots are really good, especially the last few minutes. The settings are great and the visual effects are good.

Radha Mitchell as Rose, puts up a decent performance. She very well portray the anxiety of a disturbed mother while showing the courage to follow her instinct. She shows abiding strength of her maternal love. Sean Bean is okay with his role while Jodelle Ferland can be classified as another creepy horror movie kid.

Even though the story is predictable and some of the plots are confusing, as a whole the film will keep you on edge and make you wonder what is going to happen next. There are many intense scenes and the horror fans will love it. As a video game adaptation it should thrill many of the video game fans too.

We rate this movie ABOVE AVERAGE.
