For me it kinda broke the movie's spell by suddenly turning into a videogame cutscene. I can see it as a good segue into the games or as setting up a new movie, but it was kinda whiplash-y from the mood/pace of the rest of the movie.

This was my exact experience. Silent Hill jokes included 😁 When the guy enters the house and you see the stairs, I turned to my horror-fan friend and said "if a ball bounces down those stairs, I'm gone". Yes, I'm such a wimp with horror films/games. And yet I loved this movie. (Except the ending)
