Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Christ, that is pretty fucking disturbing.
I hope they give adequate purpose to Pyramid Head's action (punishment, like it was in Silent Hill 2) and don't just make him a baddy for the sake of being bad. I want him to do brutal things for a reason! Even if his punishment is more violent than one would think the sin warrants. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I think that book is dumb. I've read parts of it before, and it pretty much sucks a lot of mystery out of SH. It takes what is ambiguous and makes it incredibly literal, this destroying part of the fun that is subjective interpretation of a world which I always felt was meant to be figurative and metaphysical.
Nevertheless, I don't see it anywhere in there that Valtiel and Pyramid Head are the same. Pyramid Head was just a mock of the executioners of Silent Hill's past; he was a mental demon that haunted "sinners" or the guilty. He destroyed himself at the end of Silent Hill 2, not because he was physically beaten but because he no longer has purpose in James' life. (Not to say that when he killed himself he died for good, he just died for James). Valtiel was just God's bitch. He existed to see to it that Heather take the path that was to give birth to God. That's why he would drag you off early in the game, presumably to resurrect you. There's also a specific room in Silent Hill 3 that contains 3 paintings. Just three. One of them is obviously Heather/Cheryl, the other one depicts a supposed saint who was an expert doctor/surgeon (I forgot exactly what it said.) If you asked me, it was a direct allusion to the fact that Valtiel is simply there to make sure God is birthed, and therefore to make sure its mother is alive. (The man depicted in the painting is never mentioned anywhere else in the game, and is never seen.) They're similar beings; they both serve God. However, I get the impression Valtiel is sent directly by God, and Pyramid Head is simply a human creation serving in God's name. So I say, I don't want to see Pyramid Head just killing shit just because it's there. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Are they even going to use that poster? I thought I read a disclaimer that basically said, "We will not necessarily use your poster if it wins" which was sort of covering their ass.
I hope they use a better poster. In all honesty, no poster can do the movie justice. Or rather, no poster can get you as excited as you should be, thus is really doesn't matter what's in it because people will just glance at it as they walk movie theater corridors and think, "another horror movie, who cares".

Female lead means more men see it. It's not a needless change, if you want to a movie to sell.
And let's face it, women freak out at horrific stuff way more than a man believably could. I was speaking idiomatically. |
I hope Pyramid Head does some better stuff during the movie. I usually like spoilers, but I'm totally pissed at myself for ruining that part.
How ya doing, buddy? |
WHY DID IT CUT OFF RIGHT BEFORE HE ACTUALLY DID WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO. WHAT BASTARD RECORDED THIS.
FELIPE NO |
The games could have done with some good splatter.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
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.

Robbie the Rabbit is little more than a mere mascot.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
In Silent Hill 3 there were "creatures" crawling inside of the walls during the final stages in the Church. They weren't really monsters - they seemed to be more like humans who had given themselves to the "order of God". You didn't fight them, and they couldn't attack you. These human-like "monsters" strike me the same way. They're not actually monsters, they're humans who have willfully given themselves or have been unwillfully taken. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
What?
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Well, I know I just did.
He's pretty strong for such a skinny dude. How ya doing, buddy? |
Yeah I thought that was fairly apparent based on the pose of his entire body.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I don't get what you mean "changed" Harry? I thought that this story could theoretically work in parallel to the video game's?
FELIPE NO |
Aw nuts. I don't like that
Double Post: Are they going to go through with the whole Daughter of God, Mother of God plotline? I can't say I really like this idea. I'd rather they create a totally different plot or a plot that works in paralell but uses similar ideas. I guess if it's a good movie, it's not to bad, but I wanted the movie to count almost as canon, I guess What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I guess I mean to say I want it entirely or something different; not a bastardization of the plot simply because Harry was super effeminate.
Up until now I thought that the plot simply worked in parallel to the events of Silent Hill 1, not that it was the Silent Hill 1 plot but with a woman replacing Harry. James was pretty faggy too, to be honest. The only thing that saved him was the fact that he obviously liked attractive women. (Henry was a non-character, so I won't even consider him.) Are we just going to disclude men from the Silent Hill movies because none of them are super manly? Most amazing jew boots |
Re-release of the game for which console(s)? That sounds interesting. If the game features the same character from the movie, then I'll take the sex change of the main character far more seriously.
That's actually pretty exciting news. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Nevertheless, there are some games that can be shortened to a two hour span and there are some that cannot. When people say stuff like, "zomg, Final Fantasy X should be a movie" I go, what? How can you cram 40 hours of game into such a small timeslot. That said, Metal Gear games are too lengthy to try to accurately depict on the big screen. Although I've always felt that certain games would make interesting live-action, one-season series. (I don't think this would work with Silent Hill.) That's just a random idea though. I doubt it will ever happen. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Like what storylines?
Honestly, you think Snake can fight Revolver Ocelot, Psycho Mantis, Vulcan Raven (twice!), Sniper Wolf, Cyborg Ninja, Metal Gear, and Liquid Snake in a two hour timespan? Or what, are they just going throw away half the bosses? Double Post: Oh yeah, and a Hind D. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Why do roaches like Pyramid Head so much?
How ya doing, buddy? |
"I am the reaper" sounds seriously cliche and not very Silent Hill at all. I hope there aren't a lot of lines like that. That kind of hurt. So do the scenes that take places out of Silent Hill.
But it's obvious that a compromise between cliche American horror films and Silent Hill had to be made; the movie has to appeal to the average movie goer and not just video game fans. FELIPE NO |
In real life, if reality were flipped on me entirely and I'm going toe-to-toe with demons while armed with steel pipes and handguns, I'd freak out. I'd have the resolve to What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
