OMG!!!! Silent Hill MOVIE trailer!!! EEEE!!

[magicgoo]

OMG! Pyramid Head! The nurses! Dahlia! PYRAMID HEAD!!! Chainlink fences! Blood on the walls. They even have the soundtrack, the snowy town, the SIREN!!

I have not been this excited about a movie in years. In fact, I haven't been excited this much about anything in years. I'm just peeing my pants at how accurately they're recreating the atmosphere of the game.

This is my favorite game series ever created and look at it!! I can't wait! I'm gonna explode!

If you were a real fan, you'd know it's been on imdb months.

[magicgoo]

Awwww, shuddap!! I'm a real fan. A really SLOW real fan. :P

[Interceptor]

I'm glad they're using the game's soundtracks rather than trying to have someone new score the movie.

[waronmars]

I'm just glad it's not directed by uwe boll.

[timpaatkins]

Man, this looks great, and I have a lot of Respect for Christof Gans, the director. Also, the writers are pretty darn good. HOpefully itll be 15 or 18 rating, I remember the first time i played SH on the PS. The intro with the music was one of the most beautiful amd emotional intros to a game.

WOOT WOOT!

[asoir]

I'm just glad it's not directed by uwe boll.
Yeah, it's set to be the only good video game movie.

[Mort]

oh no its only got scary women in it,,,piece of crap.
was looking foreward to the pyramid heads and stuff. now its just a neofeminst scary movie.blah.
they should be running around in tight skirts and wet t-shirts.
seems like it anyways by the look of it.

damn movie makers. im gonna go to hollywood someday and make some scary shit for you.

[magicgoo]

I'm just glad it's not directed by uwe boll.

Hahhha! Isn't he the worst director ever!? Me and my husband must bring up his name in a conversation every other day, just to warn people about his movies. I can't even believe how much he's crapped all over the style and enviroments of Bloodrayne. She had such an awesome outfit in the games and in the movie, it looks like she's wearing loose Dockers pants in the movie. WTF!

That's why I'm so excited about Silent Hill. That first scene in the trailer is almost identical to the opening scene in the game, and like Interceptor said, the music is the game's too. So badass!

[oracrest]

my prediction: this movies is gonna simply suck. The trailer makes it out to be much more surreal than it truly is, and conveniently hides any hint of cheesy dialogue and story. the fact that the main character is now a woman, with a husband, rather than a single father (whos wife was dead already if I remember the game correctly) reeks vaguely of the standardised "get woman to the theaters" hollywood love story. Another movie dissapointment Im sure. just my prediction.......

[JoshuaTheJames]

Yeah. This trailer looks pretty Awesome. I really hope it's a good film. Kinda Blowz they had to switch the story to another battling warrior woman to fit the feminazi times.

Here's to hoping...(that it's good)

-JtJ

[El Brakiachi]

Holy Hell I'm phyched :spam:

[MattGamer]

Can't wait for this movie!
I just found this out, and am not sure if it has any truth to it. The soundtrack is being composed by Jeff Danna (Resident Evil: Apocalypse) and not by Akira Yamaoka (the guy who's developed the music & sound for all the SH games)! I'm somewhat dissapointed and I hope it doesn't take away any of the SH mood. That would suck. [More] (http://orangeloungeradio.com/phpnuke/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=499)

Updated info on the movie can be seen here (http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com/movies/silenthill.php). As well. I hope this is a hit, otherwise I'd just play the games and be content with them. :D

[+ venture]

shit beans!!! the trailer's got me goin. that game freaked the hell out of me...i just hope the movie does too!!!

[Chris J. Anderson!]

If the games are scarier than this movie, they've failed miserably. I hope they don't ruin one of my all time favorite games. (Can't wait till part 5)

Kinda Blowz they had to switch the story to another battling warrior woman to fit the feminazi times.

Call me an ass for agreeing with this, but this was my first impression when I saw the trailer. Hopefully her character makes sense and is realistic enough to help bring life to the movie. And hopefully they rely on "Silent Hill" scare technqiues rather than and becoming another "The Ring" rip off.

-C

[jcaffoe]

sweet trailer, I really hope it ends up being a good movie. I never did have any patience for the games...

The poster is absolute trash though. Clone brush anyone?

[CaptainSwank]

Even though they switched the main character to a chick, I recognized it as Silent Hill two seconds into the trailer. Then I actually squealed. I'm so freakin' excited. Silent Hill is one of my favorite PS games ever. And I don't know about you guys but, I thought the trailer caught the creepy hospital atmosphere perfectly. The nurses looked pretty messed up. I'm still iffy on why they felt the need to make the main character a woman though. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[JERI]

Certainly looks creepier than the resident evil movies.

Btw, which of the Silent Hill series would you guys recommend? I've tried The Room, and played it until I was encountering those floating things from the wall in the train station, but didn't find it fun (nor creepy).

[Charlie_2.0]

Kinda Blowz they had to switch the story to another battling warrior woman to fit the feminazi times.


I'll have to agree with him, but, on the other hand maybe it adds a little depth to the whole feel --nothing like matternal instinct, right(the shit she must be feeling when losing her child)-- of the movie, and I guess chicks can also identify with her (that's why I think it's another semi-chick-flick).

Anyways looking forward to this one, I've played the first SH and it creeped me out(I was youg back then, didn't know the boogeyman existed:P), hope they didn't fuck up the feeling.
I predict another dvd on my shelf anyway, and hope 4 the best:yayca:

[K-17]

Sooner or later there's gonna be someone in this thread saying something like "stop whining about the main character being a woman". Well, i'll whine anyway. I mean, seriously, it was ok in Alien but it's gotten so blown out of proportion since then, there mere idea reeks of hollywood.
Does that face really inspire any kind of empathy in a horror movie? I doubt she gets any serious scratches through the whole thing, let alone get her throat ripped out (though if she did...).

[MattGamer]

JERI: I would reccomend either the original Silent Hill or Silent Hill 3. I've never played Silent Hill 2 all the way through, but what I did play was pretty fun and seeing the Pyramid Head was worth it. Silent Hill (original) was very fun, but the graphics are PSX so you might not like that.

I finished all of Silent Hill 3 and felt sick the whole time through it. So I guess that counts for something - oh and I played it when no one is home at night by the graveyard where I live - I don't really want to play Silent Hill 3 ever again because of this. Haha

If you like action and zombies, check out Resident Evil 4. It's for PS2 and GameCube and it's decent. I enjoy unloading clips from my shotgun/pistol/etc on hoards of zombies. There's tons to do in this game.

[Chris J. Anderson!]

Hey Jeri

Silent Hill is one of those games that if you don't mind some of the game play issues with the battle system, and some of the puzzels that can be a bit testing, you'll enjoy it. The story can get confusing at times as well. If you get past the graphics, try playing the first one, but only do it at night (1 or 2 in the moring), with the lights off and the stereo high, and alone. You will shit your pants. In fact play them all like this, you get the best experience that way. Play in the day time with a few friends over, and it won't nearly have the same effect. I guarentee at some point you will look over your shoulders to see who's lurking in the dark. Silent Hill 3 has some incredibly freeky moments. Part two was alright.

[JERI]

Yeah I've played RE4 and clocked it - kick arse game.

Thanks. Guess I'll try Silent Hill first before trying 3. Will need to find a place that still has it though.

[Azeira]

I still believe that jacobs ladder is about as Silent hill as you can get with a film. This new idea of a movie based directly from teh game is not very thrilling to me, and though i am interetid, it only seems to market value, rather than an interest in the obscure, eldritch and terrifying. This is a block buster wanna be, for all thiose video game fans out there. How droll, and in a sad way.

Well see what comes of it...

[CRØW]

I watched the trailer again this evening and I have to say I'm curious. I only played a little of the first one, but they seemed to have captured the look I remember. I agree I would have left the main character as a man, be a change of pace for once. But people find women being terrorized more scary. I think it may have to do with men being subconsciously protective of women ( though I could be completely wrong...who know's).

I was confused about Mort's post above. He was mad because they didn't include the pyramid heads, though magicgoo specifically mentioned them being in the trailer. I assume he is talking about the guy with the long cone like head toward the end of the trailer. So what's the deal with these guys?

[kurushii]

it will be one big frustrution.

First of all it was a completely different feeling watching it than playing the game , cuz while playing YOU are the one who sees the blood on fances,crawling fetuses and experience the whole stuff.. In movie you will see the case from someone other's perspective and it will make you feel that you are far away from the atmosphere that you felt while playing the game. Thats a fact.

other than that,only changing Harry with a woman tells us that film makers didn't understand one bit of the philosophical questioning in the first game about the father-child-love dilemma, so they blown it. It means they never played the game as i played, didnt question the meanings lay below the scenario. They couldnt understand what a silent hill is.. too bad

it will be no more than another hoolywood blockbuster trial

or i'm too fanatic,cuz i obssesively think that silent hill is the second best game ever :)

[MattGamer]

First of all it was a completely different feeling watching it than playing the game...
Of coarse it will, it's a movie, not a game.

In movie you will see the case from someone other's perspective and it will make you feel that you are far away from the atmosphere that you felt while playing the game. Thats a fact.
Uhh, the game is 3rd Person view, not first person. Also every Silent Hill game isn't "YOU", it's a different character. So this movie should fit right into the game.

other than that,only changing Harry with a woman tells us that film makers didn't understand one bit of the philosophical questioning in the first game about the father-child-love dilemma, so they blown it.
Don't be so quick to judge. I agree about the "father-child-love delemma", but who knows if it's bad or not. Besides, think of a world where the Silent Hill movie came out before the game. We'd be moaning and groaning about how sucky the games were because of whatever.

JERI: I haven't "clocked it" with RE4 yet. I thought I was at the end, but it's such a bigger game than I thought and I love it!

CRØW: Yes, that's the guy in the trailer. Hehe, the Pyramid Head (PH). Well, he's only one guy and if you play Silent Hill 2 you will see him appear within about 30 to an hour of the game. Here (http://silenthillforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=8247&highlight=pyramid+head) is a little theory on how PH was born. I enjoy PH because he's just freakin cool!

Azeira: I have Jacob's Ladder and it freaked me out until the ending. Whenever I watch it I pretend it's a Silent Hill game. Hehe, it's so much like Silent Hill 3 it's scary!

[Partialartist]

Glipse of footage from Wondercon. It's hard to see, but check out Pyramid Head at the end, what he did, and what he's about to do.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=VecOAeeT_qE&search=pyramid%20head

[magicgoo]

Awesome, Partialartist. Thanks for the link.

[Chemical Akuma]

I am skeptical, but I have my hopes up since I am a big fan of Silent Hill. I'll watch it and make my judgement then. I'm just scared because VG movies have a reputation of sucking with the only respectable movie being the first Mortal Komabt (IMO). That an current horror movies suck as well.

[wassermelone]

the only respectable movie being the first Mortal Komabt (IMO).


Ahahaha... oh man. You are joking right?

[magicgoo]

Only 20 more days!!!!!

*does cartwheels around the house

I hope the world waits until after to end.

[MattGamer]

15 MORE DAYS!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Has anyone seen this : http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/silenthill/characters/

Soo awesome, the character are!! omg!!!!! *screams like a girl*

[Nero's Master]

Haha! I have the nurses on my desktop at work. <3 Can't wait. My best bud and I are going to see this opening night for sure. :teeth:

[Hyperion]

Excellent - hope it lives up to the -kudos- the game has within the gaming community worldwide!

Deffinitely one I am going to see :)

I am jelous of those who worked on it already hehe :)

Bet they ahd laods of fun doing the CG stuff :)

Sometimes with games/movies like SilentHill the best bits about them are the Concept Art and the Music :) Certainly so in this case me thinks :0

Hyperion

[MattGamer]

I agree... it would have been super fun to work on this.

Not many people know about the game where i live... and my friend, Cold, said that when he yelled out in excitement during the trailer no one knew what he was talking about. I believe the gaming community is either in their houses playing games or not out at the normal communal areas.

I got so excited while watching the trailer, I yelled out, "PYRAMID HEAD!" when I saw him, and no one knew what I was talking about. HAHAAA

I have Pyramid Head on my desktop, forever. haha = this is going to be a fave of mine even if the movie sucks. I dont care now!

[magicgoo]

Yeah, I've got the PH on my desktop too. He's just so damn cool. I remember loving the first time playing SH. The chain link fences of hell were so creepy, somehow.

I can't wait to be one of the nurses for Halloween. People will finally know what I am :)

14 days ....

[MattGamer]

yes yes! 2 weeks... can't wait.
haha... yeah, now people will know about silent hill... and it won't be so underground anymore! i might go as pyramid head for halloween. w00t. ;)

[Spacemanchuck]

Women are more vulnerable, more easily scared, and hotter than guys... Sorry ladies if I'm stereotyping, but that has been my experience. The only problem I have with it is that it's not true to the original story and Holly Wood is trying to pull some shit off to sell more tickets. A hot scared babe could do this, or it could just piss people off. I loved silent hill4, we will see about the movie.

woot on you face!

[Interceptor]

I always go to sleep to my SH soundtracks.

And I just watched that leaked footage.. wow pyramid head is fucked.

[MattGamer]

Interceptor: hehee, i have SH2 soundtrack and love it to death. ;)
you saw leaked footage!! where!?!

[magicgoo]

Psssttt: 1 more day!!!

[Nero's Master]

OOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, can't wait!!

[MattGamer]

AIEEEEEEEE!! I know... i can hardly contain myself!!! AHHHHH!!!
One day... seems like a year to me.. and this is how long I've been waiting for it! HAHA!! AHHHH!!

[Helzon]

Sorry if this offends the hardcore lovers of this movie or franchise, but hey mine is just one opinion. I am as much a fan of horror and gore as the next guy. I got free sneak preview passes; walked out half way through this train wreck. Nuff said.

[MattGamer]

Helzon.... aww that's too bad you dont like it. that's good we're not all like you. hehe... i just can't wait to see Pyramid Head. that's the only reason i'm spending $7.50. hehe
20 MORE HOURS!!!

[Helzon]

Well that's your 7.50 and 2hours 7 minutes deducted out of your life to do with as you please man. I know I'd rather be drawing, or digi-painting.
Cheers!

[MattGamer]

haha, that's what i'm doing throught he movie. and i'm watching it twice for 7.50. going to the first showing at 7:15pm and staying in the theatre for the second showing when all my friends are coming. heheahahahah - and during the movie i'll be sketching with a little light at the boring parts. mwahahahh!!!!

[Nero's Master]

I loved it. Just got back from seeing it. My best bud, who's a Silent Hill freak, didn't care for it as much. She had much bigger expectations. The acting's pretty bad, but it is in the game as well. Everyone's gonna have their own opinions of this movie. :teeth: There were lots of bits that I could do without, but just seeing the enviros is worth the money to me. Oh and the fact that the creatures aren't all cgi was pretty kickass to me. :teeth:

[Interceptor]

This game had alot of good and bad. On the bad, I'd say it's a bit too SH3 "preachy" for me. That and the fact that characters have bizarre motivations to do some things. And they overused the game tunes a bit.

The good, is that the monsters were great, I though. And the enviros were pretty boss. And Pyramid Head is an ANIMAL.

[Rascar Capac]

dissapointing

but pyramid head...what he did ...ouch

[bizarre]

I loved the adaptation of the characters.

but it seemed a bit convenient that they knew exactly where to go. i remember being lost for hours in the game... maybe they decided not to show the part where they walk up to everything in every hallway to inspect it and then retrace their steps twenty times.

can't wait for the dvd.

[MattGamer]

MAYBE SPOILERS~~~~WATCHOUT!
OMG! I LOVED IT! I dont know what you people are saying. This movie is an A plus, I was expecting less than what I got (because of some people on here and the Silent Hill forums). I'm so glad they made my expectations low, now I can hardly wait for the DVD, like bizarre.

Hehe... what if there's Silent Hill 2... OMG OMG OMG!!! *screams like the school children in the playground*
When Pyramid Head came on the screen, I freaked!! He's soo cool, and I forgot he luged that huge sword with him everywhere. Haha..
I just love this movie, that's why I'm making fan art! Haha!

[magicgoo]

That's not a sword, Matt. That's the Great Knife. Which you get to lug around in game #2. Can't run with it, but it's the most powerful and slow weapon ever.

Anyhoo, I absolutely loved every second of the movie. It exceeded my expectations and I loved the soundtrack of all of the games (doing the song from game 4 for the girlie t-dome entry), so I loved the use of it in the movie.

And yeah, Pyramid Head = awesome times a billion. I love that guy. He was every bit as cool as I thought he'd be, and they only gave you a little taste of him, damn it all.

It's my new favorite movie :)

[MattGamer]

Yes, it's my new favorite movie too! The people on the SilentHill Forums (http://silenthillforum.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=102) are going crazy! They're talking about it non-stop right now.

Here's a little fanart i had to make because of this amazing guy, PH. ;)

[Rascar Capac]

Damn guys- did we see the same movie?
I thought Silent hill is all about the unknown, the twilight zone, fear that will make your skin crawl because its way deeper than what you can imagine but its felt on a gut level that you just can't put your finger on...the closest Ive felt that was watching The Ring- actually the B/W videotape IN the ring captured that even more than that...
I almost fell asleep..maybe I was expecting too much

[DormantWalker]

buhh I give it 3 thumbs down!!!

Though it was pretty fuckin cool how close to the game it was at the beginning!!!! even the camera angles!!

[Xpose]

I liked it! Though my friend was totally lost because he had never played a slient hill game in his life and he kept trying to think of it in a scientific point of view which sucked but I liked it. I was hoping she'd get a gun though.

[MattGamer]

Yes, definatly. A gun would have been awesome.. or at least an H&K MP5!

[Interceptor]

i watched it again tongiht. and I am listening to my soundtracks now, heheh.

it'a lotmbetter the second time. not my favorite movie. But i'll definately buy the DVDA. I want an SH2 film. of exactly James sunderland going balls out with a lead pipe

[Hyperion]

I have been looking everywhere's for a torrent for the soundtrack heh but alas I haven't found one so far :(

Its a great soundtrack to that movie, almost as good as my fav soundtrack, "Blade Runner by Vangelis" which I love falling asleep listening to :)

Hopefully I will find one soon....

Anyways I am hopefully going to watch the movie tonight :)

Looking forward to it :)

Hyperion

[MattGamer]

Interceptor: i agree with you, it's not my favorite movie of all time... though it is pretty dang cool, and very close to the games.... i think the clostest to any other movie-to-game adaptation (Resident Evil movies werent this close).

Hyperion: i believe there is free silent hill music here (http://www.evilunleashed.com/v2/index.php?section=misc&page=soundtracks-sh), without the usage of a torrent. And if you can't download there, search on Google. There's hundreds of fan sites just giving the SH soundtrack away. HEhe... oh and btw, I love Blade Runner's music. It reminds me of Biospheres' (ambient DJ) calming music I listen to to sleep. Hehe

[Hyperion]

Nice thanks for the link :)

Downloading as I type heh :)

Hyperion

[MattGamer]

Haha, np! I couldn't believe there were free soundtracks online, and not through alternative sources (ie. bit torrents, \/\/arez, etc). I wish more games had soundtracks, I think life would be much better off then. :)

[Hyperion]

Yeah me to, I want Guild Wars soundtrack badly as well, but you have to order/buy it from http://www.directsong.com/ :)

Its got a great soundtrack does Guild Wars, as well as being a great game :)

Hyperion

[Interceptor]

I often sleep to my SH soundtracks. Every year there is an anime convention here. And I go to buy cheap soundtracks.

[VirusArtist]

thought this might be of interest:

http://noescape.rateofinjury.com/main.htm

its a 116 minute cgi fan film based on the silent hill franchise.. the trailers look very promising.. the movie itself can be downloaded via bittorrent or in 6 parts on the site.

have fun,
Etienne

[MattGamer]

VirusArtist: i think i've seen this before. looks pretty sweet... but i watched a few of them and didn't get into it that much. dunno why.. maybe it wasn't scary enough. hehea

i can't sleep to any music. i can sleep to a washing machine running and lighting and thunder, but not to music. weird.

[Chris J. Anderson!]

Finally saw Silent Hill, and I loved it!

Of course, some bad aspects: the acting with certain characters in certain scenes were kind of weak. And a few the characters motives for doing certain things in the film were a bit weird. But over all not too bothersome.

Most definitly the best videogame to movie, movie! And one of the best horry flicks to me. The look of it, and the creatures were great. And for some reason I really like that female cop! I think she used to be on Picket Fences.
