I found a 15 min featurette with behind the scenes stuff, new footage and interview with the cast. its pretty neat:
they have this Silent Hill movie based in West Virginia. i thaught the game was based in Colorado somewhere. it just looks it. and its a woman in the movie who lost her daughter instead of Harry Mason. y not just have the character be Harry Mason?? ive only played the first game tho. its still a great game and a classic in my opinion.
Just saw the MTV sneek preview- i have to say, i'm even more exited about this:

We finally get to see the janitor in full!
I'm a big fan of the game, but still haven't seen the movie, any good? I heard that as of today it’s #1 at the Box Office. Anyone seen or have this: http://www.konami.com/silenthill/she/ ? It's a PSP "game" that has lots of Silent Hill extras, like the two comics, lots of behind the scenes-type stuff from the movie, and I guess music from the movie and games too.

It has received mixed reviews. Go ahead and see it, I'd say.
Still haven't seen the movie, but I picked up "The Silent Hill Experience" which is officially called an "interactive umd" not a "PSP thingy" 🙂 Pretty cool. The comics are animated, which is neat and they have both of them on there. It's also got music from all four games, game trailers, the movie trailer, and interviews with Christopher Gans and Akira Yamaoka. It also has the "fukuoku" video and a couple of others that I can't remember the name of right now. Good stuff for fans of the series. It's kind of like having all the extras on the movie DVD way before the DVD comes out.
I loved it, however I was enthralled with both saw and saw II so I was bound to like it to begin with.
There are mixed reviews about it. Some game fans claim it is not true enough to the movie and causal goers claim it is hard to follow.
As far as being true to the game I have only recently bought Silent Hill the game and plan to play all four since seeing the movie. However, I have a friend who knows a lot about the game and thought it was great. (His review can be found at: rottentomatoes.com/vine/showthread.php?p=8468352#post8468352 ) For the casual movie goer you have to be prepared to follow the plotline, while not as complicated as movies like 21 grams it is still somthing you have be conscience enough through the gore to understand.

so did you follow through the ending? I mean were the cop and the mom already dead from the car crash? but if they were what happened to their bodies? if not where did the mom end up in the end of the movie? damn.. so confused.. and I did pay attention... 🙁
well first, its a cliffhanger your supposed to always wonder maybe they'll make another movie and resolve it
However, I believe that Cybil (the cop) was dead from the crash the mentioning of how she cracked her head pretty hard, the positioning of the motorcycle on the side of the road and her being burned by the people in purgatory ensure to me that shes dead and gone
As for Rose and Sharon it is possible that they died in the car crash but i think they are merely stuck in purgatory. They had been led to slient hill to become pawns of alyessa's personally created hell so i think after all the people in the church were finally "punished for their sins" the purgatory of silent hill opened up and now rose and sharon are simply stuck in the purgatory the coexists with their world.
I believe in the game the main charcter did die in the car crash thou.

I understand that it's cliffhanger.. however, it being a cliffhanger doesn't change the fact that it was confusing as all hell...

rose and sharon stuck in another dimension = no bodies
as for the dead (cybil and the other option of rose and sharon being dead):
option a: when they died they died after they crossed into purgatory and thus their bodies are in a different dimension
option b: since the purgatory and hell is composed of bodies and characters long dead in the real world you "lose" the bodies to that "time"
i dunno the only significance i see in the bodies is leaving and open end for them to make a silent hill 2
The whole idea of leavin the ending sooooo unresolved makes it match right up with the rest of the film i think it would ruin it horribly if they had left rose and sharon back to the real world and life ended happily ever after or u know "oh no theres the bodies, oh so the whole movie was pretty pointless in real life"

remember rose's husband smelled her in the school? so they find bodies and then when she tries to interact with him in purgatroy hes not gonna even think twice about it however no bodies and hes gonna always wonder when he feels a faint brush against his skin or smells her at random times.
i dunno i just dont see it as all that confusing prolly gonna go see it again sometime this weekend
