The atmosphere of Silent Hill was the best part about it. It's not a strong film otherwise; the writing is pretty weak and Sean Bean feels really tacked on (love the guy though). The gore in the final act was so absurd it took me out out of the film. It's worth a watch for sure though.

According to IMDB, Sean Bean's character was tacked on.

It's changes like this and the gore ending that make me think film executives really don't understand what made the source material popular to begin with.

The book isn't fiction, it's an investigative book by late paranormal researcher John Keel, who was a real guy. The movie is a fictionalized take on the topics covered in the book.

I really enjoyed the movie but the book read like the disjointed ramblings of a conspiracy theorist. I trudged my way through it and wish I hadn't.
