Silent Hill movie

It will be nice if the DVD Special Edition of the Silent Hill movie is released together with clips of other possible endings like the original game, such as the UFO ending. That will really be staying true to the original game.

Oh! My first post in GFF (Not). Previously known as bluencool, now as BluencoolX since I unwittingly deleted my confirmation mail for the new bluencool account. Oh well, hi everyone~

FELIPE NO

Speaking of fatal frame, there's gonna be a movie of that too.

That's not a bad idea at all. Gamers would probably enjoy it but other audiences won't understand the UFO ending.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Mostly, I'm scared from game-based movies, but this one seems to be great... I can't wait. I hope the OST will be as good as in the games ....

How ya doing, buddy?

I don't think it is possible to make a Siren movie. The game is played such that you have the ability to see what your enemies (zombies) are seeing and hence make decisions on your next move based on these visions. Imagine constantly switching among zombies A, B, C's vision and that of the heroes (there are more than 1 playable characters in the game). It will be very confusing for the movie audience and probably bore them.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I think the idea of having James under the pyramid head would be intriguing, but not in the context of the SH1 story, with the chronology and all, it wouldn't make any sense. (SH2 occuring awhile after 1)

I'd like to see a straight up Silent Hill 2 movie version. When I saw Saw (no pun intended), I thought Cary Elwes looked AND sounded exactly like James. Philip Seymour Hoffman would be good as Eddie. The story does well just to stand alone, so I think it would make a good film. It'd be interesting if they actually made some more SH films that took place perhaps in the past, civil war era, that actually stands as canon to the series (like the Halo novels).

Because they're incorporation Pyramid Head, I wonder if they're going to try to incorporate Vatiel as well.

Maybe they just won't deal with that? I don't know how the second Siren game turned out (all I know is you can apparently sightjack animals now), but I know the Japanese already made a movie based on it (box office hit, apparently) and that there's a dog in it named after the boy in The Sixth Sense... I can't get any of the videos on the official site to work, but there's one on youtube. I haven't heard any opinions on it either...except for someone on GameFAQs that said it reminds them of Silent Hill in terms of how they presented it as a psychological thriller... I haven't heard much about Sam Raimi's version since he bought the rights, either.

But um...woo Silent Hill! I uh...liked how PH twisted that chick's chest flesh.

I was speaking idiomatically.

So that's what gets the ol' meat moving, eh? A little torture?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I guess the official name for this is "The Gray Child"...

I think Dahlia looks scarier in the game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Indeed. That was what made me really love the end to V for Vendetta

Spoiler:

(I loved the movie, but not showing V's face made everything even more better).

Why does everybody think Pyramid Head's wearing a mask?

In a literal sense, it IS a mask, as he is based upon the real life executioners from ancient Silent Hill. But what's behind the helmet means absolutely nothing, especially in the context of SH1 (as opposed to SH2, where he's a figment of James' personality. I could see it being James' face in SH2, but it's inconsequential either way)

Besides, it's not as if Rose and Cybil are going to tie Pyramid Head up, demask him, find out it's "crazy old Ernest", and have him tell them how he would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling women.

WOW I LOVE THOSE POSTERS! (All about the nurses)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Boo! These posters reveal WAY too much.
I hate it when they do that. o_o

FELIPE NO

How do they reveal anything but what a few monsters look like?

Not exactly major plot points being given away.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

They reveal what the monsters look like before the movie has even started.
In my book of horror movies, that's kind of a faux pas.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh.

Well maybe you shouldn't be browsing threads dedicated to horror movies you haven't seen as there will probably be pictures or other spoilers in them?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sheesh. I shouldn't watch a movie based on one of my favourite games then as well.
I think horror is better when the audience does not really know WHAT there is lurking in the shadows...
But, well, Silent Hill isn't all about monsters, so...
It's just a faux pas.

Thanks for spoiling a completely unrelated movie that a lot of people haven't seen yet, buddy!

I don't really think it's much of a spoiler, but whatever - I edited it and evergreen, you might as well edit your post to match.

Oh and no problem.

But do they know what's lurking in the shadows, even if they've "seen" it? What the hell is Pyramid Head? What's the deal with the mannequins? And the nurses? If they've seen it, it won't change that they have no idea what the hell is stalking the people in the film, or what they can do.
