    Exclamation Silent Hill, the movie!



    See a Trailer Here!

    call me skeptical, but hollywood dosn't exactly have a good track record of videogame to movie conversions, and silent hill is a game series i hold close to my heart.

    they already allowed paul anderson to mess up resident evil, i havn't forgiven them for that.

    but all said, from the tralier this looks pretty good. i hope it works out, i truely do.

    Looks like it could go either way. I don't like the fact that they're having so many characters in it. Takes away the feel of isolation that you get in the game. I mean, what's up with the group of like 50+ people running with the main character? Bogus!

    Meh. I always am skeptical of Hollywood interpretations and am usually rewarded by an enjoyable experience about one-third of the time. Then again, I was thoroughly prepared to hate the first RE and loved it. With Silent Hill I liked the feel of the game up till they started to replace the fear and isolation with a jaunt through trippy landscapes of an otherworldly nature. I hope the film will somehow maintain the early, more basic, feel of the original game while sprinkling in the feeling of a character and town caught up in the inexplicable.

    PS--thank christ it's R rated. Yeah, you'd think it would have to be, but you never know when profit margins get involved...

    Hah! I just realized the town in Silent Hill is based on (and called) Centralia! Centralia is a town, out in PA, that has had an underground coal fire burning since the 60's. I've been there and it's pretty cool.

    The visuals of the town were both relaxing and creepy, I thought.

    This movie was kinda stupid IMO... the mother was an imbecile and the little girl just angered me. I wish Pyramid head had killed them both.

    Might not be the best movie ever, but the town and general enviroment looked fantastic, absolutely stunning.

    Definitely not the sort of place you want to be wandering around alone and unarmed IMO.
    Oblivion gallops closer, favoring the spur, sparing the rein - I think we will be gone soon

    Best videogame to movie adaptation IMO. Infinitely better than the Resident Evil movies...

    That's for sure. The cinamatography in Silent hill Is definitely in the top tier of films that I've seen. If one pays attention there are many subliminal messages and themes going on in that film, alot like the matrix did. The film definitely has alot to offer if one has the patience to find it.
