    A prequel to the first installment of the Silent Hill series, Silent Hill Origins explores the past of the haunted resort town and the cult that runs it. If you can overcome your fear of dark, abandoned buildings—and the frustration of having a tire iron break after a mere two hits to an evil nurse's face—then you will likely enjoy this rusty, grimy gem of a horror story.
