Talking Silent Hill: The Movie

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.

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 know this thread is pretty much dead, but to save making a new one, people who haven't seen the theatrical trailer

http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplayli...tw=640&qth=400

I thinks it looks really good, even if it doesen't succeed i'll get it on DVD cause i thought some the other Game > Movies... movies were pretty good

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

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.

Gather around, kiddies! It's leaked footage time! It's grainy, dark and hard to tell what's going on, but that just made it creepier to me. I wasn't really all that interested in this movie until I caught this leaked footage. Goddamn.

WARNING: Contains brief nudity, disturbing violence and Pyramid Head being... well, Pyramid Head.

After researching this flick more I became more intrested in it. Espcially after completeing some of the games again recently. Maybe I can make my finial verdict after watching this leaked footage.

That didn't help me much on my thoughts. But Pyrmidhead = Geek out for me. So I gota see it...

Trailer looks good... but one question.

Why is it a WOMAN and not a man in Silent Hill as the main character?



That really ruind a bit for me...

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.

Not for me. Blah.

I think it's some horrible 'PC' movement on their part, which I detest, if that's the case.

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
