From what i've seen in the teaser trailer it's looking pretty damn good and it sticks with the Atmosphere of the games

yes yes another game-to-movie adapation..
I remember street fighter.. It's so bad it's funny man.
Rememebr the part where this truck was going toward the tent and Zangief saw it on tv and he said "Quick, change the channel"
I remember Bison dollars! Man I want some! Or the part whre E.Honda and Zangief battled on the mini-model of Bisonopolis.. Hehe..
Street fighter was the movie of that guy who played M. Bison!
What was his name? He played in Addam family 1+2 and some others..

Rule #1 in movies - NEVER trust a trailer, it is made to make you geek out the second you see it and go "I HAVE TO SEE THAT MOVIE"
Rule #2 - Always read reviews. Find a critic that likes the exact same movies as you and follow his words. If he says to avoid the movie like the plague then do so. Or see if people dislike it for reasons you like movies. Such as, it's too dark and violent.
Rule #3 - Always check to see what other movies the director has made. And what other movies the writter has wrote. That way you know if it's going to suck before you watch it.
So Silent Hill
Director, makes bad movies http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0304521/
Writter, Has experience but I can't judge if he's good I havn't seen those movies. But their not horror -_- He does crime and comdey mostly. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0099398/
So my opinion is, it's going to suck.

So my opinion is, it's going to suck.
The dudes made 4 movies. To judge on those 4 is idiotic. That's like saying X3 will suck cause the director only made like 2 movies prior. Or, hm...David Goyer didn't do much before he kicked off Blade, then revitalized the Bat movie Franchise, and Chris Nolan did one good movie and one OKAY movie prior to Batman begins....
Don't be an idiot.
If the director was Uwe Boll, who made movies like Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead....You can judge that, cause he ****ing blows. Bloodrayne WILL suck.
I personally don't know how Silent Hill will end up, it could blow, but then again it could be good.
Don't judge it at all yet, just cause the director doesn't have much experience.
If nothing else it looks amazingly stylized.

The director of X-men 3 has made alot more then 2 movies. I don't know where you got that info from. And previews can make the worst movie on the planet look awesome. You cannot trust them. That's all, obviously you missed the part at the end of my post that used the key board, opinion

I'm feeling extremely confident about the movie. The director himself is a gamer, and says that Uwe Boll has done some terrible things to videogame franchise. He just seems incredible passionate and sincere about making a very successful horror film.
I'm hoping it does well, and the same crew makes a sequel or two.
By the way, I've seen Brotherhood of the Wolf, and thought it was very well done. I've also seen "Necronomicon" and while it wasnt anything sensational, it was mostly due to bad budget. If anything, he knew how to set the mood in the film. But this was way back in 1994, so he's probably learned a few things in 12 years :P
I may have softened the blow in terms of being scared in the movie. I just saw The Descent(imported from the UK) and man, THATS a scary film.

I was personally, a fan of the video game, i even started a few TMNT-Silent Hill cross-over fan-fics...
I really can't wait for this movie... i might see it on the first day.
As a horror movie though, they'll have to do something really unique if they want to make an impression.
But, it still may be the best movie based off of a videogame.

I never liked the Survival-Horror genre of games, but Silent Hill was one of my favourites to watch friends play. I saw the trailer during Final Destination 3 (My girlfriend dragged me to it. Don't think of me as a bad person!) and I thought it actually captured some of that spooky atmosphere that the game had. It definately looks to be one of the more faithful videogame adaptions to come along in a good amount of time.

Well the main character was a girl in the 3rd game. The daughter of the daughter of the man in the first game if I remember correctly. But I could be wrong. I guess they wanted a female character, it's preferable in a horror movie.

I think it's some horrible 'PC' movement on their part, which I detest, if that's the case.
Spitfire
03-07-2006, 08:08 PM
I don't care either way but I guess they figure if the main character is female things can jump out and scare her more. Then she will scream and it will be "scary" When a guy screams it's never really scary...atleast to me...movie studios are dumb. They think they know what people like. That or the problem is we all like things differently then normal people haha

-!!!!Spoilers possible!!!!!!-
I have mixed feelings about it. I loved Silent Hill itself, the town, I loved the creatures. All of that was right from the games, even the storyline loosely followed Harry's from SH1, and my favorite part was Pyramid Head, and his horrible acts.
My gripes? The ending. No explanation, no real solution.
A downer, if you will.
I don't doubt that this is one of the more faithful videogame adaptations, since it actually took from the games, camera angles (cum), creatures, noise, music, etc. Hell, its worth it to see Casey Jones' brother.
!!!!Spoiler!!!!!
Question:
How is it that the detective (Casey Jones' brother) didn't age at all over 30 years?
Also, if someone has some amazing explanation about the ending, go for it. But there's no doubt in my mind that this flick will have like 5 different endings when the DVD is released, exactly like the games.
I would have also preferred if the lead was a guy, like Harry or any of the guys from the games. This to mee just seemed like any other horror flick released recently, that was, until I saw it. Though this film is not amazing, or genre bending.
Spitfire
04-22-2006, 07:13 PM
The girl looked into the her evil side at the end thus becoming possesed by her. Now their trapped in limbo, the place between Heaven and Hell. Silent Hill is limbo and the people are trapped there and being punished for their crud acts. The cult leader is just to blind to see that. So the women and her daughter are stuck in limbo...pretty much alone.
Brodie

Wow, thats what I thought, and still disliked it.

Jo269976
04-23-2006, 07:24 AM
Sorry for the late reply but my computers been broken, nut i went to see Silent Hill last night and i thoguht it was the best game adaption i've ever seen, at least it stuck to the games :D
I loved every second of it, but about the ending there are mixed opinions such as
Spoiler!!!!!
Only look if you have seen the movie!
Rose, Sharon and Cybil died in the accidents (Rose's car crash and Cybils bike crash)
When Rose made the deal with Alessa and the "Reaper" she pretty much made it so her and her daughter lived in the realm of Silent Hill forever, with just the two of them
Rose and "Sharon" (part of Alessa could've entered her at the end) and Alessa/Sharon is looking for the remaining survivors of the Silent Hill fire.
They are in Limbo
These are just some opinions but i think that Rose and her "Daughter" are still in the realm of Silent Hill where only they remain, her husband Chris feels Rose's presence but she cannot be seen, so basically once Alessa had accepted Rose and her "child" into Silent Hill they are pretty much stuck in the realm for all time but in the good dream of Alessa (her bad dreams and fears are the darkness) but i guess we won't know untill the DVD comes out with Audio Commentary so the director/writer can explain the ending to us...
Also there is a planned sequel so who knows? maybe it'll be like Silent Hill 3 and carry on from the first movie with Sharon as a teenager or maybe they will just do James Sunderlands story
Phew! :lol:
Brodie
04-23-2006, 12:33 PM
Still doesn't explain the whole detective thing.
Spitfire
04-23-2006, 01:28 PM
To be honest I think that was just one of those movie mistakes. Like in Fight Club when you totally see Brad Pitt's stunt double throwing Edward down the stairs in the parking gargage, or when he smashes his head into the car mirror on the opposite side of the car he's on. There's been a few movies where they neglect to show peoples age though. Like In Charlie In The Chocolate Factory when they show grandpa when he was "much younger" working for Willy Wonka and he looks like he's about to keal over.
That's a pretty good one Leo Rulez, but I thought he never saw her because when he was in Silent Hill and near her she was in Hell. But you might be right that makes sense. Plus when the cops said they found her car they said no one was in it
Doppleganger
04-23-2006, 08:29 PM
Just saw the movie yesterday and I thought it RULED. :D I loved the music, the setting, the MONSTERS. Everything.
Nice theories you have there Leo Rulz. I do believe them being stuck in limbo is the most plausible.
I'm wondering were those monsters, monsters from hell or did Alessa's hate mutate the townspeople?

My review for www.filmsy.com
Silent Hill
Silent Hill is a success on a number of levels. First, it is a fantastic adaptation of the original video games and easily ranks as one of the best video game-based movies ever made. Second, it is one of the extremely rare movies which takes concepts by author H.P. Lovecraft and translates them to the screen accurately. And third and finally, it is just a damn-good horror movie.
As the story goes, Rose’s adopted daughter, Sharon, keeps speaking of a place called Silent Hill in her dreams. Curious as to what that means, Rose takes Sharon up to the abandoned West Virginia ghost town to see if they can find anything significant. On the way there they have a car accident. When Rose awakens, Sharon is nowhere to be found and there appears to be no way out of the creepy town of Silent Hill. What comes next is a bizarre, surreal, disturbing trip through the town’s grotesque and indescribable horrors, as Rose searches for her lost daughter.
The first 2/3 of the movie are a magnificent treat for the senses and frighteningly faithful to the source-material. The audience is instantly flung into the insane and horrifying world of Silent Hill, where legions of twisted monsters lurk in the dark and reality is completely optional.
The effects of the movie are brilliant, bringing the nerve-wracking surreal world to life. Entire rooms and environments flake-away like ash and the hideous creatures with impossible anatomies are rendered fantastically.
And the monsters are incredible. You’ve got flaming dead babies, acid-bleeding mutilated zombies, hordes of man-faced leeches and, the best of them all, Pyramid-Head.
The down-side is the last 1/3 of the film. It seems the director got so involved scaring the crap out of us he forgot that the audience might appreciate an explanation as to why Silent Hill is so screwed up. What follows is a painfully long exposition from one of the characters that spells everything out in detail for the audience. This yammering monologue could’ve been avoided, or at least had its length cut short, had the director dropped a few more clues through-out the movie or at least given us our explanations in distributed portions.
Also, I felt my favorite “character” in the movie, Pyramid-Head, could’ve used a lot more screen-time. He was just that cool.
Although the ending falls flat to an extent, it isn’t nearly enough to ruin the rest of the film. I’d easily give it a solid B. Were it not for that last 1/3, this might have been the perfect horror movie. As it stands, it comes pretty close.
I know, no “Relative Grading Scale” this week. I’m just not in the mood. So, instead, just sing-along with me. “Silent Hill! Silent Hill! Utai o utauuuuu! Mina de! Mina de! Utaimashouuuuuu!!!”

My review for www.filmsy.com
I totally agree with you...except I hated the evil tar babies...because of the over use of cgi on them I saw them without it and they had been fine before...cgi doesn't just take things to the edge it ties it up and throws it off the cliff :dead: ..I'm way over all the cgi crap...and I know allot of others in the industry who are sick of it as well...not to mention normal people who don't work on movies..it just cheapens it and makes things less realistic...

I'm just glad we got a good video game movie for once. I'm going to try and avoid watching it again because I don't want to ruin it's good impression on me. Atleast until the DVD comes out. Cause I saw Spider-man 2 in the theaters 5 times, 3 in normal and twice on Imax and by that point the Special effects looked like the video game. And that was all with-in about 2 and a half months. So even movies that have great CGI for their time can wear off fast if you see them too much.
Prime example of this is The Matrix Reloaded <_<
Jo269976
04-24-2006, 09:58 AM
Her hate did, cause some of the monsters are people that hurt her. Like the bathroom guy
I wondered if...
The Janitor raped her, it kinda implies it with his evil looking grin and Alessa crying afterwards because how could she have become pregnant? and by this he was turned into a monster by the darkness because of Alessa's fear of him (She was angry at the cult members and she wanted revenge on them so she didn't want to turn them into demons, also she couldn't because they holed themselves up in the one place she can't reach)
Also this explains some things....
http://www.yikers.com/video_awesome_look_at_silent_hill_movie_behind_the _scenes.html
And i have another theory, Alessa transported Rose and Cybil (plus herself Sharon) to another world, by simply entering Silent Hill you remain in the abandoned town, not the foggy/nightmare world this can be seen when Chris and Rose are in the same place but cannot see each other, yet the members of the cult have actually died in the Silent Hill fire years ago, but there souls remain in a pergitory (limbo) when Alessa judges them and kills them she basically convicts them to hell (maybe turned into the creatures such as the janitor was or how Lisa looked at her and thus the nurses were created) yet when Roise made a deal with Alessa she basically made it so her and her daughter remain in the Limbo until they are judge, as if you look outside Rose's house it's all foggy when she approaches it and when you see Chris it's normal and sunny, so basically Rose and Sharon remain in limbo untill they are judged such was the cult members of Silent Hill

Exactly. They built up the tension quite a few times, and there was really no pay off for it. The games were scary as hell, but the movie fell completely short of that.
There were only two times anyone in my theatre gasped or some thug went "DAMN, YO!". The first came during the scene where it's shifting from the normal world to the messed up world and the dude comes out from the stall. That was pretty effective until he started slithering his tounge around like a tard. Then there was some laughter. The second was when Pyramid Head ripped that chicks clothes off and disembowled her.
Other than that a lot of stuff was laughable. The dancing nurses especially. Was I the only one who thought they belonged in a Ludacris video, doing those jerks and twists around a Benz instead of the flash light?

I saw it for a second time on Sunday. My girlfriend wanted to see it. It seemed creepier this time around. Maybe it was because I was in a good theatre this time, but it was probably also because the theatre was nearly devoid of all human life. As opposed to my first viewing, where I was in a packed theatre with annoying teenagers and loud mouthed thugs. I went to one of the stadium seating theatres this time, so it was huge and empty. The atmosphere was much more creepy. The wailing of those crispy ember people freaked me out this time.

Classic? Hardly
Good game but taking into account all of the camera and control problems...its far from classic
;)
The whole point of the camera angles is so you cannot see what is infront of you or to give you a sense that somethings watching you, look at Tomb Raider I, you only had 3 types of weapons, ok graphics and somewhta the same camera angles and now it's concidered a classic, try playing these games at night in the dark and you will change your mind about these games

Camera problems??? The camera use in all Silent Hill games was amazing. Maybe not so much the Room, but the others, the rest were amazing, better than any recent horror flick that's come out.
I've beaten all 4 games, and I think what he means by "camra problems" is at the beginning of the first game, the camra swerves a little too much uncontollably when you walk back and forth, i liked the games but the way that camra was swerving at the beginning kinda made me sick to my stomach, and it does the same thing in #2 only at one part, in the apartment building I think...the laundry room. As far as the rest of the games I've had 0 problems with the camra aside from the occasional room where the camra was directed toward you and you can't see what's in front of you... other than that.. the camra works great with the whole scare factor, but really... in order to get the most out of these games, you should play them alone at night in the dark and in an enclosed area.

I recently played the first Silent Hill and Silent Hill 3 again to see if i can understand the ending and i think it's pretty much....
The fact that Sharon has now combined with or became Alessa, they are unable to leave the Silent Hill world, you can see that there are 3 Worlds in Silent Hill, them being the normal empty town, the fog filled town and the Otherworld. Considering how Alessa died (well i think she did) or how she wanted to remain in her own world Sharon/Alessa is unable to return to the normal world, and well, Rose did not want to leave her "daughter" behind she decided to remain in the "Silent Hill" world with her
Well thats a thought and it may not be true but the Silent Hill games also have some unanswered questions. We have to wait about 3 months for the answers, 2 if lucky :D
DVD's come out sooner these days anyway :)

I saw it yesterday but I can't really judge the movie since I fell asleep towards the end. What I saw was really not that interesting though.

Well it stopped showing in the UK so the DVD release will be soon, they made more money than their budget, you will also have to add the DVD sales that are bound to be a hellava mostly due to SH players, so maybe in the near future there will be a Silent Hill 2, dunno if it would follow James Sunderlands story but we have to wait and see :D

I won't see a sequel cause I see no point in one. I still liked the movie but there doesn't need to be another one. Unless they focus completely on another person, but I still don't see how they can do it again.
I feel bad for this movie actually. It really isn't THAT bad and it gets crap right off the bat from Critics for being a video game movie. If it wasn't a VG movie I know it would have gotten better reviews.

Quite frankly i don't really care what critics rate a movie, it's not their opinions that matter to me, it's how i'd rate the movie, also i was reading a newspaper and a critic gave Silent Hill 3.5/5 which is probably the best rating it got, this is for all critics... Don't Be Biased!

How do you know they are "Biased"?
Maybe people just don't like the movie because the story just wasn't that interesting

I find it biased because movies like "Blade 3" With the worst plot I have ever seen in a movie gets better ratings.

Because if it's a video game movie it already gets a low rating before the critic has even seen it!

How do you know? can you read minds?
Stop making excuses for a movie and just let people have differing opinions
