I can't believe how fucking piss-poor that poster contest winner is. He literally took 2 of the stock photos, blended them together, and added a Times New Roman tagline. It's complete ass. Then again, so were most of the entries, but seriously, that one is just god-awful.
Anyway, this movie is going to probably rock large balls. It's got the look down pat, and Pyramid Head is even scarier looking than he was in the game. When that image surfaced, I almost cried. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
That's not grotesque enough for you?? I don't want to look inside your imagination
Maybe it's just that much more powerful for me because when I first saw Pyramid Head, it was the first time I was actually afraid in a video game. Not jump scares like Resident Evil, I'm talking actually afraid of something. It was a mindfuck seeing him just standing there behind that gate, motionless. I just sat there in awe of how insanely scary he was. It's also reassuring to see that they're not doing a half-assed adaptation. Seeing P-Head looking like that gives me lots of faith in this flick. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
They literally took 2 stock images, put them together, and then added their own tagline in times new roman. It's fucking disgraceful.
Now, the Stay Alive poster contest, that's a different story. Lots of great entries and the winner was also great. How ya doing, buddy? |
My film professor does reviews for a radio show, so he gets to sneak movies on Thursday night, so hopefully that's when I'll see it :biggrin:

According to Coming-Soon.net, they're not screening it early for critics
That's always a bad sign, but I'm not giving up hope. I pray it has to do with the last minute censorship like you mentioned, but who knows. Regardless, I'm catching it early tomorrow night with my film professor, so hopefully I'll be home in ample time to tell you all how it is! I was speaking idiomatically. |
Badass. Have any examples or links?

First "official" review of the movie up on The Horror Channel. 4.5 out of 5 is not too bad So fucking pumped to see it tonight! FELIPE NO |
The people I were with absolutely hated it. They also didn't understand the mythology behind it. Me? I felt neutral about it. I was EXTREMELY impressed on many levels, and on others, disappointed. I give it a 6 out of 10. Pros - 1. INCREDIBLE visuals. Production value is through the roof. Best production design I've seen in any horror movie, PERIOD. It is spot-on to the game, and aside from that, it just looks amazing on it's own. 2. Great soundtrack made up of previous SH music. Fits it perfectly 3. Awesome gore when it happens 4. PYRAMID HEAD!! Cons- 1. Story is way too convoluted and very poorly delivered, even for us who know what's going on. 2. Not enough scariness. 3. Placement of creatures is too spotty 4. Not enough Pyramid Head Overall, the atmosphere is what makes this movie work. Visually and aurally, it's unrivaled in horror. It's just as fucked up as the games, the story is just not as tight or as well-delivered. The mythology is just too much to handle in a 2 hour flick. Give me a movie based on SH 2 and we have a winner. That story could easily work in a 2 hour time frame AND be kick ass. Still, a damn good video game adaptation none the less. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
It simply doesn't deliver it as well as the game does. It does a decent job at getting it across in 2 hours, but for a story THAT deep you really need a full 10+ hour game to do it.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Check that out for all your SH 1 plot info. The more I think about it, the more I think that the movie should have seriously been a game. And also, as it flows through my head more, the character of Dahlia is much different that in the game. You'll understand when you see everything unfold. Most amazing jew boots |
Too many people are saying the movie's ending is a cliffhanger, and that couldn't be further from the truth. The problem is that people simply don't understand the movie, and want more hollywood-style closure. As more reviews pile in, it just seems that people can't wrap their heads around the story, and therefore, hate it.
I'm starting to like it more and more as I think about the story and as everything settles in my brain. I'm starting to analyze a few things and have some more impressions and feedback for ya'll. I'll put spoiler tags on these just in case people dont want to read any of it before seeing the film. Spoiler:
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Spoiler:
...seeing Pyramid Head wreck shit would have been much more satisfying. That was an excellent review and I agree with pretty much everything you said. For SH fans, it's complete fan service and is a treat to watch. Others, not so much. My guess is that the studio played a hand in the Dhalia switcheroo... If Gans is as big of a fan as he says he is, he would have kept her the way she is. The studios always have problems with really taboo stuff like that. How ya doing, buddy? |
If there's any sequel, it should be a standalone title like SH2 was to SH1 (the games). I don't see how the ending was a cliffhanger like so many people are saying. Dumb.
How ya doing, buddy? |
Do you have a link to that interview?
