So why does Silent Hill work? The look and feel are almost like playing the video game. Remember that horrible, Doom film? Yeah, I, unfortunately, do too.

Are you lost yet? I won’t get started on the Silent Hill 2 movie, Silent Hill: Revelation, but the first Silent Hill movie might be the closest you can get to a decent video game movie. Yes, there is a Silent Hill 2 movie that follows the Silent Hill 3 game.īean’s character acts more like Henry, even though Rose is supposed to be the replacement of Henry. Sean Bean in Silent Hillĭid I forget to mention that Sean Bean is one of the protagonists in the movie? His character, otherwise known as Christopher in the film, doesn’t die! Isn’t that a damn shocker? He is even is a lead in the second film. Hardcore fans would probably appreciate a more in-depth dissection of the character. I don’t want to go too far into detail because James’ storyline and monsters can be very complex. I could go on, but his appearances, even in other games, don’t make any sense. Spoiler alert! I am telling you the play at least the first three games. James wants to be punished because not only was he driven by his sexual desires, but he also killed his wife. While he might look like an executioner, he is a part of James’ consciousness. He’s basically the black negating force that is drop-dead chilling. Eh…why?! Did you know that Pyramid Head’s headpiece is inspired by Lippisch P.13a? So it’s a Nazi warplane monster with muscular features. Pyramid Head is one of the most complex monsters to the Silent Hill trilogy, and the movie completely disregarded that and turned it into an instrument of vengeance. When the game was first released in the USA, one of the monsters, which are burned children running after you in the level of the school, had to be morphed into some sort of sloth looking monsters for censorship.Ĭan someone explain to me why the monster was featured as a ‘protector’ in the movie? Look, when Pyramind Head first appears in the film, he is badass from him dragging his huge knife around to pulling off the flesh of a live human being, it’s hardcore, scary, shocking, but doesn’t add to the story. The monsters still give me chills, and if you’ve played the Japnese version, it’s even scarier. The graphics are outdated, it was 1999 after all, but it holds its ground. As I always suggest, you really should play the game. To his dismay, they need his daughter, Cheryl, for the ritual. Henry crosses path with the locals and discovers the cult is trying to awaken the deity whom they worship. He is in search of his adopted daughter, who he loses in the small-town of Silent Hill located in Maine. Released in 1999, Silent Hill uses a third-person view with the character of Henry Manson. The music adds to the ambiance and continues to tingle your senses. When you feature the lead singer of Korn, (Sorry if you like Korn), for the theme song of a game instead of embracing the sinister melancholy tunes of the Silent Hill soundtrack from the previous titles, you’re a fool.
Look, Silent Hill: Homecoming (2008) and Silent Hill: Downpour (2012) were entertaining games, but they weren’t Silent Hill. The video game was a storytelling masterpiece that didn’t deserve to be treated as any little horror video game.
And just like most things, we shat all over it to make ‘awesome’ graphics and fight sequences which did nothing for the narrative of Silent Hill. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in Silent Hill forever.Silent Hill 1, 2, 3, and 4 are masterpieces, while some might argue 4 was a miss, the games that followed didn’t quite understand what the trilogy was creating, and that’s probably because Silent Hill was given to us westerners. Now on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by terrifying nightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she's not who she thinks she is. We can exclusively reveal that an offer is out to Adelaide Clemens (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Vampire) has signed on as "Heather" and that Sean Bean (Black Death, Silent Hill) is now in negotiations to return to the franchise as "Harry"!įilming began today, so we can expect some more casting news very soon.įor years, Heather Mason (Clemens) and her father have been on the run, always one step ahead of dangerous forces that she doesn’t fully understand. According to Bloody-Disgusting, Sean Bean ( The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring), who was also in the first Silent Hill movie, is in talks to join the Michael J. After 5 years we are finally getting Silent Hill 2 and not only are we getting a sequel but they’ve already started casting it.
