    New Silent Hill movie? NOOOOO!

    Why, oh why filmmakers insist on trying to make a silent hill movie? The first movie wasnt quite AS bad as game-based movies usually are but it still was pretty lousy, and inspired a group of shitty game developers to create Silent Hill Homecoming, which I personally call "Silent Hill: The shitty american hollywood-version.".

    Please god dont let it suck. You know the movie is already going to wrong direction if its hyped to have Pyramid Head and action and gore and cool monsters, instead of it being an adept psychological horror movie akin to Jacob's Ladder or Shining.


    I have a theory on why Homecoming is way worse than many other silent hills, and thats the movies it got inspired from. Silent Hill 1 was inspired by Jacob's Ladder and Twin Peaks' strange atmosphere. 2nd game was inspired by various drama movies, and various disturbing artwork. 3rd one was inspired by Jacob's ladder and Session 9. 4th was inspired by The Cell and The Ring.

    And Homecoming? It was inspired by RE4 and Silent Hill: The movie. And the quality shows. Want to make a good silent hill game/movie? Watch good horror/surreal movies.

    The first one was horribly generic. Probably wont bother with this one.

    First was actually pretty good for a VG movie, it had great visual style, and plenty of bloodletting. The movie isn't the greatest, but it's better than Fourth Kind, and various remakes.

    I really don't see any similarities between Jacobs Ladder and Silent Hill at all. Jacobs Ladder was about a guy who thought he was going insane and or a government conspiracy with the "twist" ending i'm not gonna spoil. I haven't seen Twin Peaks so i can't comment on that.

    However I liked the Silent Hill movie, i liked the way they used the music from the game in it and the whole dreary atmosphere. I didn't like how they incorporated all three games into one movie though.

    I think it helps to be a big fan of the games. Someone who hasn't played them might not appreciate what they are seeing.

    I actually liked the movie, despite some negative aspects. Wish the nurses were used more

    I've played all the Silent Hills, besides the recent ones. All of them before the movie, yeah.

    Yeah that's what I heard and why I haven't played them. I think they made a Silent Hill for the Wii only and your only weapon was a flashlight

    "Silent Hill" was pretty great for a movie based on a video game. Stunning cinematography. The story was kinda weird, but overall I enjoyed it. I'm up for this sequel.

    I have never played any of the games as I am lame-o.

    I enjoyed the storyline and visual effects of the movie. I enjoyed the fact that the Christian cult were the bad guys and showed them for the cruel people they were. There was a sense of dispair as well as danger when there were 'creatures' around. Not bad at all.

    Yea, I found that stupid. I have no plans to ever play that game.

    But again, I enjoyed the movie and i'll watch a sequel of it.
