I saw a interview with Gans and he was talking about how SH is his favorite games and all but he loves 2 the most it seems. Although he said it would have been hard to make a movie about 2 without explaining some stuff so they decided to make the game based off the first one but had some stuff from the 2nd one. So seeing he really loves the 2nd game I'm sure they will try to do a sequel.

Yes... very yes.

After the crash in the beginning, "They didn't have airbags? Oh that's believable."
After any line that had even the slightest hint of cheese: "*snicker*" or "Euh..."
At the very end during the credits: "I'm gonna go tell everyone in the lobby not to waste money on a ticket for this movie."

It was annoying, but I still was able to enjoy the movie. I love surreal stuff.

It seems Gans is about to do Onimusha as well.

There's no need for me to really restate what everyone has said about each meticulous flaw and merit the movie had. I thought it was an awesome movie, at the very least visually. If anything, I felt it suffered the most with pacing issues, and Avary's script. If there is or isn't a longer director's cut, that could resolve some pacing issues (as I heard a rumor [also on IGN] that the orginal cut was 3 and a half hours). Most of the reviews that cited the length of the movie as a con were irritating, as I don't really see most phenomenal movies falling underneath two hours. And if the average is ninety minutes, then it's only a half hour more to, at the very least, soak up more astounding visuals. Gans directed excellently in my view.

Needed more monsters, etc, copypasta.

On a slight tangent, on the way home, my friend's brother's girlfriend called him, and he said he'd take her to see it if she didn't mind gory movies. She said, she didn't, and that the only movie she couldn't watch was the fly, to which I replied "It's probably because of Jeff Goldblum" ::everybody laughs::

My friend told me as well that Gans favored SH2 the most, and I'd like to think he made this one as almost a test run for the visuals for 2, and to explain, or at least infer, a bit about the town. I would also prefer for Gans to personally write the script, and have someone else edit it.

If you had to cast the characters for a SH2 movie (assuming it was disconnected), who would you cast? Ever since I saw Saw, I thought Cary Elwes looked and sounded just like James (I imagined him calling out to Mary as I saw it), and Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Eddie.

I am just wondering, does the drop of blood towards the end has anything to do with (from where that I read, perhaps Shakespear) something that no blood should touch the ground of a sanctuary or else it wouldn't be holy anymore? I wasn't sure if it was that or because the blood contained evil...

As for a sequel.. i hope that its based on part 2 and that Bill Pullman gets to be James (i was hoping him being Harry Mason =/).

Return of the scapal nurses or no sequel. That's my only condition.

Well, my audience wasn't as rude as the girl that you mentioned, but there was laughter on both my part and the audience's part. The audience particularly seemed to find humor in Anna; she was just, y'know, kooky cultist whose antics were so out-there that it was funny.

Other than that, several choice lines ("It's going to be okay") that were placed after obviously not okay scene made everyone laugh. My favorite line in the whole movie has to be...

At retrospect and since you guys mention it, I was easily the rudest motherfucker ever. I had too high expectations of the movie. I expected believable acting, a coherent plot, and the kind of fear and anxiety one feels while turning into a dark and ominious corner of the Silent Hill games. The movie failed to deliver on all parts, as the monsters were more humorous then frightening, the dialogue inexcusably bad and therefore hilarious, and it loved detracting from moments where I was just about gaining interested by switching to the scenes with the husband. The husband scenes were necessary, but they could have been placed better in the film. Also, were the gyrating nurses really necessary? Was that really meant to frighten anyone? Was that a joke? Because I definitely interpreted it that way. Big-breasted, undead nurses with short skirts that starts moving when a light is shone and freezes when the light is turned off is NOT SCARY. A dead fucker named Colin with outstanding abilities in postmortem yoga is NOT SCARY. There were too many random elements mashed together and it left a bad aftertaste in my mouth. The movie was basically a message against religious fanaticism fortified by the use of sadistic torture fueled by personal vengeance. What the fuck is that? So yes, hate me, I laughed throughout the entire film while everyone else was quiet and "scared".

Sorry to burst your bubble but Gans said many times in interviews that everything that he wanted was in the movie; this was his Director's Cut. Also, he said he loved the second but probably won't used it for the sequel.

Semper
Yeah, the nurses movement was crap how they vibrated like that... But when they actually started doing something, that was pretty sweet.

Message? When do horror movies have messages?

Concerning your sig... is that something a specific unit of US marines say, or did you just make it up? I'm not so fond of it.

I hate that stupid Marine Corps bullshit...

Gans plans to do Onimusha, eh? If he gets Takeshi Kaneshiro to be Samanosuke again, it could be interesting.

Didn't Kaneshiro sucked as an actor? He was horrible in RETURNER (Along with pretty much everything in it); wasn't he a Soap-Opera actor in Japan?

Was that him in Returner? He did a pretty bad job, but I felt the female lead was even worse. The movie had some nice fight scenes though. Not great, but interesting.

Horror movies always have messages, ESPECIALLY Romero zombie movies and the like. In fact, in my opinion, horror movies usually have the clearest points in any genre of films.

Seconded.

Well, I can say this movie was coherent in many parts, but the whole "Silent Hill" franchise was never actually supposed to be easy to catch on to, was it? Of course you'll get the plot, but there are plenty side details to help support the story. In the end I must agree with everyone else when they say this: "Get recruited already."

I concur.

Looks like your invitation got accepted! Enjoy your AIDS.

What exactly do you consider scary, though? It's different for everybody, but keep in mind that this is a Silent Hill film adaptation. Most of the "frights" are inspired by the games themselves. Have you even bothered to pick one up and play it?

If you want a movie where a guy slashes people to death (omgawd scary), then this clearly wasn't the movie for you.

That's fine. In all seriousness, I understand your points, I'm not going to argue with you about what you thought about the film.

Just shut your goddamned mouth during the movie out of respect for the public audience. Jesus Christ, this is common courtesy, common sense, and should be obvious.

Fucking Fifthted.

Common sense isn't as common as you'd think it would be.

They'll probably just get a Chinese actor to play Samanosuke.

Then Japan will be outraged, as usual.

::noonecares::

It doesn't matter I only played the first Silent Hill, that's not the point. I still remember the fun and scary elements of the game that the movie did not have. I'm sure there are people that never played a Silent Hill game that found it good.

I found the substandard shit funny. I went to the movie for a good scare, instead I got a good comedy so I still had my fun. Your opinion that my opinion sucks is too unimportant to be worth considering.

If you find it funny, it's common sense and it's obvious that you'll start laughing. If any fucker tried to deny me my privilege to have fun at the movies that day, I would have caved his/her face in.

Yeah, and for once, leave the Marines out of this, but then you can't really do anything else, can you? Carry on.

Yeah like load times! And badly pixilated characters!

I went here to post how much of a fag you are but caught you sucking cock in a closet, so you're not able to talk and I don't have to listen to your asinine bullshit.


Your inability to form a cohesive thought outside of being a fucking asshole for your own fucking asshole ego invalidates anything you have ever or will ever say.

If the toilet were only a little larger, I'd flush you down it like so many urban legend alligators.

The great thing about Marine mentality is this - anyone who's a Marine acts with the utmost respect for himself and others. People who want to be Marines act like they're some tough guy who could beat up Bruce Lee.

You're not even a ground-pounder, bitch. Stow the fake manly attitude and go back to being a limberdicked wetnurse.

It should stand to reason that the reason we ride you like a bitch in heat abou the whole Marines thing is because it's hysterical to us, not unlike your rude ass turn in the theater while watching the movie.

I've never met a Marine who was a stupid bitch but you ARE a stupid bitch, so you ain't no Marine, son.
