Ah. I see, I see. I usually don't hang around SH sites or anything of that sort, so most of everything I hear about is from non-SH-based sites.

here's another really short animated gif floating around..

It's from the internet teaser and pretty much shows the finale of the WonderCon clip.

my bro showed me this clip of some convention where the lucky bastards were able to see the movie.. one of them was ..



did anyone catch that clip?

No, but that's pretty disturbing. >_<

For me it will be April 1st, since they show it a the Fantasy Filmfest Nights #4 in a cinema in Bochum. ^^

yeah... that was clip that was linked on the second page of this thread. :P

and

The games were SO fucking splat. Seriously, the nasty implied/definite sex and realistically/overly gory violence (I mean that while the gore and blood level from the combat was over-the-top, it's a lot more realistic than, say, Resident Evil's gore content) are hallmarks of splat. I mean, jesus christ, each time you see Maria's dead body/watch her die, there's gore galore.

Let's also not forget Lisa's "transformation" at the end of SH1.

This movie looks like it's gonna rock hardcore. I should probably borrow Silent Hill 1 from my cousin and beat it so that I can really appreciate the movie. Pyramid Head looks freakin amazing. I absolutely love it, as you can all see from my new theme.

What's that in the posters? They don't look familiar...

I still am blown away by how the textile and rust washed art style of the game has seemed to even been enhanced from some images released of this movie. If it looks that surreal in motion, the movie will be worth it just for that.

The first one is...


Not sure on the official name for the second one but it kind of reminds me of the Insane Cancers from SH3. The last image looks like the miners from some of the earlier stills.

I totally support the "Janitor" design from the poster, but I do not support this, whatever it is. The appeal of SH's monsters is how they never have any distinct human features (eyes, nose, mouth, etc). This thing, on the other hand, looks more like a monster from The Suffering, or some other Rob Zombie type horror movie. It doesn't really fit for Silent Hill.

Looks like one of those creatures crawling within the walls during the final parts of Silent Hill 3, to me. I don't think it's meant to be a monster; not the kind you'd have to fight.

Wait, what? You support the "Janitor" design but at the same time you don't?

As for SH creatures lacking "eyes, noses and mouths", well that's not true...

Even some of SH1's creatures had full human faces including the puppet nurses and doctors. Gans isn't breaking any kind of rule or tradition, especially when Yamaoka fully approves of the design.

I agree. Despite its grotesque appearence, this thing just looks too 'normal' to be considered something that appears in SH. Although the Twin Victim has human features such as the face and hands, they are completely deformed. I'm not saying that this design isn't twisted enough. Maybe it'll fit more if it lost the face or the arms and legs. The Janitor's mouth kinda reminds me of Cynthia's mouth in SH4 minus the teeth.

This movie needs Robbie the Rabbit! Speaking of Robbie, here's a site that actually sells SH plushies.

Robbie the Rabbit is little more than a mere mascot.

Uhhh...

I think it looks fine. I'm trying to imagine the way it moves, as the pose it's in implies it doesn't exactly saunter along.

EDIT: To Wvlf: Yes, the games had blood and such but there is a difference between seeing a bloody mangled corpse and watching that person being mangled and bloodied and killed right before your very eyes. (There's also a significant difference between watching it happen to a 3D animated character and to a "person" regardless if it's "just a movie" or not.) It's hard for me to watch that sort of thing, whereas a dead body with guts hanging out isn't as difficult to look at.

Whoops, my mistake. I thought this thing here was the Janitor.

Anyway, like someone mentioned, the problem with the creature is that he looks TOO human. Heck, he could actually be human, just decked out in some freaky BDSM gear.

Ah. I guess that's part of my "disconnect," where if it's fake and I know it's fake, I can handle just about anything, but show me real blood and I can't deal with it. That's part of why I love gore and shit in movies. It can be extremely fucking gross, but I can handle it because there's a part of my mind that knows it's not real. Discovery channel surgery, on the other hand, is a no-no.

Any news on the composer issue? I'm listening to some Yamaoka right now and the thought of having someone to work on the movie's score who was involved with Resident Evil Apcalypse makes me feel nauseous. (I still need to climb a hill and bark/cry at the moon for the Castlevania movie.)

I belive Yamaoka is doing the score.

Despite previous reports Yamaoka himself said that he is working on some new material for the film in the new issue of EGM...
