**SPOILER ALERT** maybe
Ive only played 1 & 2, but the movie looks like it is using games 1-3 in the plot. usually in the game you have some sort of mission (like finding your daughter) but as you get further and further into the town, you start to realise that shit is really fucked up, roads are blocked off (either by the road being totally gone, or giant walls) and lead you on a path that goes deeper and deeper into the demon world. You will be runnign down a foggy street, then you hear a siren and the road your runnign on will shift from concrete to rusty metal grating, the buildings go kinda the same, there are mutilated bodies strung up on fences everywhere, scattered rusty wheelchairs everywhere, and suddenly its night time.

I find out what really freaks you out while playing the game is the creepy in game music. Honestly, if your playing the game, turn off the music and it is WAY less of a scary experience. Its not even really music, its just a bunch of unsettling sounds that keep escalading and getting more intense as your walking down a creepy hallway.

its really not that far away, the day after 420 w000t, im goin to be front and center at this [fingers crossed that it doesnt suck]
 
For those that are interested there's a 15-minute preview featurette here.

The films plot will most closely resemble that of the first game, although the main protagonist is female instead of male.

The Silent Hill games are one of my favourite series.

Silent Hill 2 in particular possesses one of the most disturbing & intelligent plots of any videogame ever made. One man's slow descent into insanity as he attempts to deal with his innermost guilts & fears over the death of his wife & the role that he played in it, it's a modern masterpiece.
 
awesome! My brother knows how much I love horror/gore and he keeps bugging me to watch this soon lol :D I've only seen him play Silent Hill once and know nothing of the game tho.
 
I just came back from seeing Silent Hill... Let me preface my review with the fact that I am a huge fan of the video games and had a lot of high hopes for the movie...

I just said I HAD high hopes, hinting that it didn't do the game justice... Well, in my opinion it brought the game very much to life. Finally I can say that a good video game has been made into a good movie. But I have a feeling some will disagree.

Why?

Well, the movie was slowly paced, a bit long (2 hours 11 minutes), and not it was not scary.

So why do I think Silent Hill succeeded? Good question. The movie captured the visual aspects of the game and the mystery behind the events that had made Silent Hill a ghost town. The acting was top notch, the story followed the game mostly and was intruiging because you wanted to know what the fuck was going on. The video game, for those who have played it, was slowly paced and thus it was no surprise to me that the movie was going to slowly build just like the game did. The game was scary but simply because you were running around aimlessly in the dark getting chased by creatures beyond description. The movie had GREAT creatures and the scene in which they were shown were merely disturbing rather than scary. You would sit there and think "what the fuck is that and what the fuck is going on!?" but were you scared of the visuals on the screen? No, and that might have pissed off some people but I thought it was fine. Disturbing versus the cheap scares that plaugue movies these days suffices for me. I thought the creatures just added to you wanting know what the hell was going on in Silent Hill.

The gore, when the gore got going was graphic. Skin being pulled off, bodies being ripped apart, bloody spraying everywhere.... gore was definitely present even if you had to wait halfway through the movie to see it. The movie, like I said was 2 hours and 11 minutes long... which wasn't LONG for me since I was interested and it kept me interested, BUT I'm sure shaving off some small scenes would have helped to keep people who's attention spans are shorter fused that mine.

So what about the end? Well the end of the movie is a mystery itself. It ends strangely and it adds more questions and definitely leaves it open for a sequel.


Like I said, I have a feeling that there will be a 50/50 feeling about this movie. Either you like it or don't. I appreciate it because it brought the game to life for me. No it didn't scare me but it intruiged me in it's mystery and disturbing visuals. I give it a thumbs up.
 
"Disturbing versus the cheap scares that plaugue movies these days suffices for me."

I'm really glad to hear that, it makes me want to see this even more. So many "horror" movies of today just rely on a surprise to make viewers jump and call it scary. That's just suspense leading to nothing. True horror must be disturbing, it doesn't have to be fast, just disturbing.
 
I really think the film did the game justice. I'd never actually been that excited about a film, nevermind made a concerted effort to go see it on opening night, but I did, and it was amazing.

Not brilliant, but it was pretty much like watching the game. It was also the most beautiful film ever, imo. Really liked it.

Also gave me nightmares :(
 
i saw it last night at amc while i was like WICKED high from a fat blunt and my heart was beating so fast i thought i was going to have a heart attack. the surround sound made it a truly intense experience. its already an acid trip, so def dont watch it on acid

I was gonna say just that....Ive played both 1 and 3.....From the looks of the trailer it looks mostly like SH1 w/ the elementry school and the set up as well...

anyways....I cant freakin wait to see this....Awesome video game series
 
i watched it on about 1/10th of a geltab. i thought it was quite excellent.

i wouldn't say it was scary, but not many movies can scare me these days.

definitely worth the view
 
Well Ive been a fan since the first one and have never tired of them once. Interesting reading mixed reviews though. The idea of Silent Hill as well as the universe that surrounds it has scared me more than any horror movie of late.

Havent seen the movie adaption yet but I'll be very interested to see how it comes out. Pyramid head! Fuck yeah, cant beleive he's in it!

What grabbed me in the first place was the soundtrack to the games. a wonderful mix of ambience, horror tone themes and industrial noise.
Fan-fuckin-tastic. Sillent hill will always be scary in my mind.

-Later
 
I saw it again today and even though I really liked it the first time around it was BETTER the second time I saw it!

I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything... I understand the movie to some degree, but I'm trying to still figure out certain details, especially about the ending...
 
This was the WORST horror movie I've seen in the last 5 yrs, hands down.

The dialogue was laughable, infact the whole theatre couldn't stop laughing at the cheesy lines. How many times in horror flicks have we heard a little girls voice? Not again...

The acting sucked, it wasn't even scary at all. Not really bloody at all either.

In fact, I can't even figure out why this was rated R.

The only cool thing about the movie was that the family is from Ohio, and they made that obvious too with the license plates.

Don't waste your money on this awful piece of shit supposed to be a movie.
 
This movie ruled!!!! it made total sense to me (But i have played the games) but i do think the games are way better than this movie, but i agree it does do justice.
 
Well i finally saw it and i have to agree w/ smotpoker.....I thought the movie sucked...acting sucked....and even though the plot followed the game rather closely....It still f'n sucked....

Im normally pretty hard to disappoint when it comes to movies but i was....yea disappointed....

And i have to reiterate again what smotpoker said about the cheesy lines....people really were laughing...and as bad as i wanted this movie to be good i was laughing as well....

Only upside to this movie was the music which was taken from the games....thats about it....
