I just saw silent hill yesterday personally i still think resident evil is better than silent hill movie but thats my opinion i want to what others think about the two movies. Plus the graphic in silent hill were a little off!
Neither is a great movie, but one is still clearly better than the other.
RE is so far from the game they should change the name. Silent Hill was the most faithful game movie so far, and had a great visual style, and some very disturbing moments.
Silent Hill is by no means the next Casablanca, but Resident Evil makes it look that way.
Seriously, Silent Hill rocked. Not brillaint; I don't think any one could claim it was brillaint. But it certainly didn't deserve all the critical flack it got, and compared to Resident Evil? Well, there's just no contest.

Resident Evil, IMO, was an okay film. Taken with a grain of salt, the movie was, in a sense, faithful to the premise of the game. The only thing that bothered the shit out of me was that is was too sci-fi oriented and not enough violence and gore horrorish. Silent Hill was violent and gory, but it just didn't have the presence of the game. I say RE.
The good thing about Silent Hill and Resident Evil is that they are kick ass games....
But with Silent Hill, at least you are given (so far) one terrible movie, instead of a series of them.
the acting still better in Silent Hill, i say. No Tomb Raider [outfit] shit, no P.M.S'n females who cant act (not referring to Milla, i love her). and no "Okay im going to see the NEWEST edition of the stupid movie."
thank you lil nasty girl and thank you imp res is best but also yes silent hill was more like the game but it felt like i was watching it and you can tell its so fake the graphics.
ps did anyone notice the husband in silent hill was the main bad guys in resident evil 2?
pss the main reason i didnt put as a toll cuz i dont know how!!
RE is more recognizable because it came close to the beginning of the crappy horror movies. Silent Hill is just another one in the series, so it will never get much notice
