I hope they don't botch it, the SH games were awesome.

trailer looks good though

3/21/2006 2:43:53 PM

Freaking scarey shit if they pull it off right.

Might be one of those things where its only scarey in one type of media format.

3/21/2006 2:52:32 PM

Silent Hill 1 & 3 were really good in my opinion.

I didn't follow the plot to 2 so well, and I never got far out of my bathroom in 4.

3/21/2006 3:01:01 PM

not a fan of that picture

3/21/2006 3:02:00 PM

yeah if this make this movie the right way it should be scary as shit

3/21/2006 3:02:24 PM

yeah 4 kinda sucked, they got rid of all the fundamentals like the flashlight and radio, there were only 2 guns, some enemies were invincible, you had to escort someone around half the game, and the list goes on

some parts were kinda creepy though

3/21/2006 3:05:27 PM

the trailer seems to stay faily true to the game

looking forward to this

3/21/2006 3:20:36 PM

I hated I ever bought this game!! b/c it was sooo fuckin creepy and scary and I felt the need to finish once I started playing. Im not buying another one, but I will go see the movie. From the looks of the trailer, these guys might pull it off. So far so good.

3/21/2006 10:09:47 PM

this could be awesome news if this is made right
im pretty excited

3/21/2006 10:11:19 PM

the trailer was fucking creepy

3/21/2006 10:44:45 PM

it will suck

just like every other movie in existence based off of a video game

3/21/2006 11:01:56 PM

it could suck but still be scary and therefore be kind of good

3/22/2006 12:32:54 AM

the only one I've never played is the first one, which is probably the most important one.

3/22/2006 3:40:08 AM

looks like overactive cg, but ill still see it. after seeing house of the dead, i know no NEW video game movie will every truly be "the worst."

3/22/2006 10:10:11 AM

ill see it because silent hill 2 is one of the best games ever.

3/22/2006 11:24:32 PM

Considering the game played kind of like a movie, I've got high hopes for this film.

4/4/2006 10:55:41 AM

i think it will be scary as hell

at least the games were

4/4/2006 11:00:33 AM

remember when it was enough just to make cheezy games out of good movies

4/4/2006 11:10:44 AM

BTTT cause it opens manana.

i read somewhere where it said there wasnt much cgi, except for the fog and other small things

4/20/2006 9:48:22 PM

I'm scared; hold me.

4/20/2006 9:51:13 PM

^^ yeah on trivia on imdb it says most monsters are ppl with latex on um.

4/20/2006 10:24:38 PM

I am SO going to see this.

It's going to be so bad.

4/20/2006 10:48:24 PM

those nurses freak the hell out of me

ima see this

4/20/2006 10:50:35 PM

i just got back from it. i liked it. not as scary as i thought. the scenes are pretty good.

4/20/2006 11:32:41 PM

what the hell is up with the ending to this movie?

4/21/2006 9:43:42 AM

I'm going to check this movie out tonight. The trailer does not give me high hopes for this movie, however, I loved the games and I love real horror monster make up.

4/21/2006 10:25:29 AM

Trickey to bring to the big screen me thinks.

4/21/2006 10:52:01 AM

I AM THE REAPER

that little girl in the trailer alone is enough to make me want to see this shit

4/21/2006 10:55:33 AM

Oh man, watch the clips, its freaking great

Quote :

" In researching the different elements of Silent Hill, screenwriter Roger Avary (Killing Zoe, The Rules of Attraction) came across the town of Centralia, Pennsylvania (it's interesting that LA moviemakers look to the deep Midwest when they're looking for something "strange" or "different"). Centralia planted the seed for what developed into the cinematic version of the town of Silent Hill. As recently as 1981, there were over 1,000 residents living in Centralia, although the population has now dwindled to 11 (we'll say that again: 11 people) as a result of a 40-year mine fire burning beneath the borough (we'll say that again: it's been burning for 40 years... underneath the town). This is certainly not unlike Silent Hill, which was left deserted since devastating coal fires ravaged the town and its people. The inferno started when a trash fire was lit in an abandoned mine pit in Centralia in 1962. The fire ignited an exposed vein of coal and spread throughout the mines beneath the borough. Several attempts have been made and millions of dollars have been spent unsuccessfully to extinguish this fire that still burns today. The "problem" wasn't really acknowledged until a series of accidents in the '70s and '80s, including the appearances of sinkholes hundreds of feet deep. In 1984, Congress allocated more than $40 million for relocation efforts, and most residents moved to nearby Mount Carmel and Ashland. However, a very few families opted to stay, and they're still there, despite the fact that the state of Pennsylvania has condemned all the buildings in the borough and the US Postal Service has revoked its zip code of 17927. The 11 holdouts include the town's 89-year-old mayor, Lamar Mervine, who refuses to leave because "I like it here." "

i didnt think it was that bad. it was a bit long for its style of movie (usually you suspect action, horror, or action-horrors to be 90mins). im into the visual aspects of movies though and let that make up for most other deficiencies (i mean after all you are watching them right).

4/21/2006 4:57:50 PM

was the cg of everything turning to shit done well?

4/21/2006 6:51:47 PM

it wasnt the best ive ever seen, but it was done well in my opinion. having the actors in latex really helped cuz i was thinking this movie would suck CG balls until i heard about that.

as others online have said, it isnt all that scary, but it was good enough to keep me interested.

4/21/2006 7:40:59 PM

ill i have to say is Pyramid Head

4/21/2006 11:35:29 PM

thats about how much ass i tear in a fight.

[Edited on April 21, 2006 at 11:43 PM. Reason : this was kinda like the ring where you felt the chars were more scare dthan you though]

4/21/2006 11:43:13 PM

better than i thought

alot of "oh shit" moments

a good time at the movies

2 and a half stars

4/22/2006 4:06:26 AM

id liken it to The Cell.

pretty and decently interesting. plot is kinda interesting, but you can find problems with it. acting is decent but wont win oscars. not overly scary, but as said, has a lot of "oh shit" moments.

admittedly the cell was a lil more visual and scary, but its not a bad comparison in my eyes.

4/22/2006 10:04:20 AM

I must say that "Silent Hill" is the best video game adaptation ever, hands down.

I think that it was trying to accomplish more than being a horror/suspense/thriller film. There are some themes--purity, sacrifice, motherhood, religion--that went along with the horror.

All in all, (not kidding) the best movie I've seen this year so far.


P.S. Pyramid head--woah

4/22/2006 12:37:00 PM

I liked it but I didn't get the ending

4/22/2006 7:44:50 PM

Silent Hill 1 for PS was great - one of the first truly scary games I played

4/22/2006 8:27:38 PM

4/22/2006 9:10:19 PM

it made me want to play, ill give it that. i went and bought SH2 cuz i had wanted to buy it when i first saw the previews for xbox, but never did. i heard it was the best one anyways.

4/22/2006 9:42:59 PM

No way in hell is it a better video game adaptation than Super Mario Bros.

4/22/2006 9:48:58 PM

i liked it...but thought the very ending was a terrible way to end the movie..
i mean they could have done better

4/22/2006 10:00:48 PM

badass movie

the dialogue was a little goofy at times, and that little girl acted better at being evil than a little girl, haha.

the visuals were really well done, especially the way everything transformed in the darkness

pyramid head tore epic amounts of ass, that guy's my hero


those weird ass noises are directly from the games too, pretty cool touch.

[Edited on April 22, 2006 at 10:02 PM. Reason : .]

4/22/2006 10:01:23 PM

are we talkin about "oooooooh shit" moments or "OH SHIT!" moments?

4/22/2006 10:08:10 PM

ha, i like that. Both actualy. For me the pyramid head parts were very ooooooooooooh shit! Also from what ive read the director said the ending was left open for a sort of sequal. He said that if the true silent hill fans are pleased with the movie then he will strongly consider doing another.

4/22/2006 10:40:43 PM

that'd be great.....more pyramid head!

4/22/2006 11:03:00 PM

tell me more about this pyramid head character

what is it?
