I played the game before and i just read that there would be a silent hill movie. I have been disappointed with many many films that were adapted from videogames *coughresidentevilcough.* I saw the trailer out of curiousity and it looked really interesting. The look and feel of the film seems faithful to the game. The town looks so similar to the one in the game. I like the monsters that they show in the trailer. They look eerie and creepy. And then there is the fog, which is something that Silent Hill must have. The performance of the actors seem quite good,, which is a shocker for a video game turned movie. The director had previously directed the movie brotherhood of the wolf (good movie).


Synopsis
The eerie and deserted ghost town of Silent Hill draws a young mother desperate to find a cure for her only child's illness. Unable to accept the doctor's diagnosis that her daughter should be permanently institutionalized for psychiatric care, Rose (Radha Mitchell) flees with her child, heading for the abandoned town in search of answers -- and ignoring the protests of her husband (Sean Bean). It's soon clear this place is unlike anywhere she's ever been. It's smothered by fog, inhabited by a variety of strange beings and periodically overcome by a living Darkness that literally transforms everything it touches. As Rose searches for her little girl, she begins to learn the history of the strange town and realizes that her daughter is just a pawn in a larger game.

yeah forsure i feel you on this. silent hills does look very promising, i really hope so. i havent played all the silent hill as i find myself get a lil sick when i go through the evil world with all the blood n chains n stuff. but im glad that they kept the spirit of the game in the movie. from the monsters, (yay!) to the characters, and to the town. the only difference is the main character is a women this time around. cant wait for this movie to come out. im sure that im going to be watching this.

i didnt think resident evil was horrible. there are farrrrrrr more worse video game movies. house of the dead anyone?

speakin about horror video game movies. i hope AND I REALLY DO HOPE that the up coming fatal frame movie is going to be super good! i heard that it was going to be directed by steven spielburg, so it hass to be good...i hope. >_<

I saw pictures a long time ago and I really don't know how this will work since in the video game you can't see the faces of enemies well (and that's what makes it creepy). Silent Hill series have great stories and I hope they don't ruin them. I see they used enemies from at least 2 series and the music is the same? They don't look that scary though....

The story is similar to the first Silent Hill (but the main character is actually a female in the movie)? And what she could actually call her husband for help? =T I guess for a horror movie the main character is USUALLY a female. But it's strange that the police officer is still a female in the movie (I thought they would change that to a male instead since the main character is a girl in the movie)

[Access DENIED]

^they meshed all the three series into one whole movie.. And as for the main character, i also thought that they should have used the male character from the first one..
I also was bugged by the fact that the main character could possibly call for help. There seems to be people evacuating the city, which really disappoints me. In the game, there was little to no help from the outside and there were very very few people found in the city.

Steven spielberg is making fatal frame? I dunno. He has been filming really mediocre films, lately..

[ryisakooguy]

^yeah that is true but hey its fatal frame. fatal frame is the only video game that i cannot play straight at all. a good 3 hrs and i never have the guts to go on. i havent even beaten part 3 yet. >_<

im just hopin that regardless who is directing it that it turns out to become a great horror movie. they also need to take the feel of the game and make the transition into a movie, because if they do, oh my i mite be peeing my pants.

have you seen shutter by any chance? im hopin that it will have that intensity of horror but in a totally new world/story.

i saw the movie trailer for silent hill. i must admit, it looks really good. it looks very similar to silent hill 3. i think they really did a great job--from what i can tell--on the atmosphere of silent hill. the mysterious and dark mood. since i'm not a big fan of horror movies, i think i'll skip this one. it looks very scary. lol.

[DOVAHKIIN]

Better be worth my money

[MzBeciko]

I really don't know how this will work

[Malice_Kaiser]

Oh man. I so cannot wait for this movie.
Yeah, I think they should have used a male main character. I think the fact that she can call for help is dumb. I think that there's a good chance this movie could really blow (just because it's a video-game-made-movie, and those always suck). But still. XD; The monsters look awesome, from what I can tell.

LOOK AT PYRAMID HEAD FOR GODS SAKE. (clicky t3h thumbnail!)

Am I a bad person for thinking that's really hot? Because... I find that really hot. XD;; *convulses* I'm so excited. XD;

And I heard that they're not actually combining all the games into one movie, really. The plot is mostly from the first game. The reason they changed it to a girl was because if it were a guy searching for his daughter it'd seem to... lady-like. Y'know? Just doesn't translate well to film. So I can see where they were coming from on that aspect. So yeah; game one plot, with many game two elements (as far as zombies go.)

Okay, I'm gonna stop rambling now.

[xkrndreamer]

please dont let it be like land of the dead, resident evil, doom, starshiptroopers 2, or any other horror movie where there's a group of people and each person gets killed at a time.

No, it shouldn't be. Or at least if it is, it's not staying very true to the game.
As far as I can tell, it's about a mother who ends up in Silent Hill, and loses her daughter. She has to search for her, but along the way she encounters some other eerie people from the town. (which happens in the game too.)

^yeah that is true but hey its fatal frame. fatal frame is the only video game that i cannot play straight at all. a good 3 hrs and i never have the guts to go on. i havent even beaten part 3 yet. >_<

I heard fatal frame it's based on a true story, which scared me even more when i was playing the game...
As long as the director is not Uwe Boll.. Then, all is well i guess.

I've never heard of shutter, all i know is that there is going to be remake..

Oh man. I so cannot wait for this movie.

haha ..good ol' pyramid.. I missed it..

Personally, it seems to be more gripping to see a father frantically look for his lost child. It would have been nice to see a father and daughter interaction in this film. I find female leads in these situations just plain annoying.

[Melyxcious]

ahhh i want to see this movie when it comes out. i got scared just by watching the trailer at the theaters 2 weeks ago when i went. the music was nice and wahhh the game<3

the evil beings are creepy T.T;;;

anywayy.. i think a mother looking for her daughter is kinda annoying in some way but not really because the father looking for his daughter is becoming a bit cliche nowadays isn't it? I dunno but in a way, to me it is.

but other than that, hopefully this movie'll be great

[kiss*kiss]

this looks good. i'm definitely going!

[Access DENIED]

i decided to bring this thread back to life... anyways 8 more days to go until it's released..

[talula]

man i cant wait for this movie either.
this is the ONLY movie that EVER got me covering my eyes during the movie trailer in the theatres.

[ANJEE<3]

it actually looks really good o.o".. awesome graphics and the monsters look so gory..haha



i never played the game.. but already got freaked out when i was watching my cousin play it.. lol

[OCster]

Game was kinda freaky... trailer looks really good (don't they all though??) so I hope it'll be a thrill to watch!!

[ShouHipon~]

the movie is coming out soon!!! cant wait!!*_*

[monchichi]

Yay! Can't wait!

Apparently, the director is a fan of the game. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing though but it looks really good. I am so going to watch it!
