Silent Hill

What did you think of the movie Silent Hill? It was a good movie.
But, I didn't understand the ending. 馃槙

i thought the film was a great enactment of the game, they used the same music from Akira Yamaoka, they and the Silent Hill team worked on it together which to my opinion gave its authentic feel.

did anyone else catch the film or play the game?

the dvd release comes out august 21st

i hear there may be a sequel also too, im not a huge fan of sequels.. but maybe this could work with the right people

that gives me more of a reason to watch it. i thought it would turn out like resident evil did

check the trailer.. it looks wicked... www.trailerplayer.com/trailerRef.php?Traname=http://www.trailerplayer.com/Silent_Hill_Trailer_Play_snif.html

I thought it sucked. There were a few cool visuals, but overall it was like watching a video game (not a good thing), and I somehow new it was going to go all Hellraiser 3 before it did.

with respect to this movie, I do not like for anything. Although it has the scenes similar to the game, this does not finish convincing. However history has much to do with the game, but not with history that they want to count, they had been based on the Silent hill 1 and the movie had been a little better.

Last the movies based on video games, Sucks

I loved Silent Hill. I just wish they would have shown more of PyramidHead. Maybe in Part II they will have more of him.

I'm fine with more pyraqmid head as long as theres none of that stuff he did in silent hill 2 when your hid in the coupad and he's banging another pyramid head. 馃槃 lol

hahaha yeah that was awkward 馃槃

the release date keeps changing... i heard it was being pushed back to 4th september.. but ive just seen a pop up for the 28th... anyone know much about this?

I just watched this last night. It didn't do anything for me. It got tired... fast. The CGI was bad. And I'm getting so sick of the "mother lost her child" story, though I'm sure it's not the movie's fault, that's probably the plot of the video game, huh?

Yeah... I thought this movie was pretty damn bad.

well in the game its supposed to be the FATHER looking for the child. I haven't played the first, but I've played some of the second. I'd have to play the games first to really judge the movie.

The girl was the only part I thought was really annoying.

thats the debate.. if you can only appreciate the film as a game player

That's what makes an awful movie. It's fine to make a movie that's based on a video game but it should also be able to stand by itself.

I hadn't played more than a few minutes of any of the Tomb Raider games before I saw the movies. I enjoyed the movies.

If I need to play the Silent Hill games to enjoy the movie, it's not a very good movie.

this movie was horrible.

There was no build up.......no character development. As soon as the movie opens.......it's off and running to Silent Hill, why?.....because a little girl was sleep walking and said Silent Hill. Yeah......the audience is really along with this without further explanation, back story or even knowing who these characters are. It's like they started the movie 30 minutes into it.......and the audience just missed all the important stuff building up to them going to Silent Hill.

Once they get to Silent Hill......crazy shit happens. Okay....I'm down with that, as long as it's explained later. Then the explanation comes. The girl built this imaginary world to punish those who burned her. Alrighty.........but uh.....why is this world still in existence after she's killed all the religious nuts? Who was the other little girl? was it satan? we don't know.......all we know is that the other girl came to the burned girl in the hospital and offered to help her take revenge. beyond that.....no explanation.

bad movie. Atleast Resident Evil had a plot.......not a bunch of questions and is still reasonably fun to watch as a popcorn movie if nothing else.

you do have a really good point there

I didn't even mention the lack of score or horrible CGI.......
