There's clearly a difference of opinion, but I think I'll play devil's advocate regarding the Silent Hill 1 thing GR. When the main character and his daughter head there for vacation, they have no idea the place is an abandoned ghost town. That's only discovered when he gets there. So it's not like he thought "hey let's go on vacation to hell's armpit". He THOUGHT it was still habitable. The only real issue is barely anyone outside of Silent Hill seems to realize what's happened to that town. It is as though it is an informational black hole and government officials everywhere just don't seem to mind the sudden lack of any updates on that town at all, even when voting season comes around. That's the main thing I have an issue with. In this day and age, a town can't just delapidate without the whole world knowing about it within 5 minutes.
I will only add I saw this with a friend and a few rows in front of us, there was another group of fans. This dedicated individual in front of us was voicibly upset with the movie. As my friend said, it would seem she basically expected the cinema scenes to be resolution bumped and played back directly.
My friend enjoyed it more than I did, but we both found it lacking.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
