Call for Article

I am in something of a bind, and I need a favor. Is anyone who has played Silent Hill (the videogame) willing to write about its effectiveness as a horror story? I'm looking for the angle that views the videogame as a legitimate storytelling medium without defensiveness.

Anybody up to the challenge? *puppy eyes*

Hee. Alas, the article needs to be in before the film comes out. Sort of a favor I owe to the studio, and I have this great angle, but it involves having played the game. Which I haven't.

Well, I have, but I'm not completely sure I could defend Silent Hill as a video game that would translate well into a movie.

Wouldn't have to. Just have to focus on the game, really. So long as the article is about some iteration of a first Silent Hill (videogame in this case). I'll edit in the annoying parenthetical about "oh and hey, movie" later.
