Thoughts & opinions on this one? What do you think.. :D

This is going to be the video game film upon which all other video game films will be judged.

GAAAA! It's even got the music from the game!!! AWESOME!

WoW! I cant wait for this, it'll probably be an 18 though, damn i hate bieng 16!

Looks true to the game and quite creepy, should be a good one, lets hope it doesnt go in the same direction resident evil did........

this looks like top shelf material right here!!if they magnage to capture the mood and essence(and it looks like they have)of the game then it should fantastic!:cool:

Looks good but so far always been disappointed by game adaptation films, hopefully this will buck the trend.

This looks good. But seriously. Ive never played the game so I dont know what to expect

How close are the video game & the movie?
 

Glad you asked heres a little film that compares both the movie & the video game. Note to all future video game movie directors. Pay close attention. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg_HrO0eXs0
Give me your impressions & opinions of this.

Seriously, its amazing how much thought and detail was put into this flick. Amazing.

...by the way, just got to see it on the big screen during the previews for Underworld. I can't wait.

This had better be an 18. Anything else would be a cop-out

i liked it (loved the video game) UP to the point where it showed all the deformed demon thingies - that just looked cheezy - kind of In the Mouth of Madness//Night Creatures kind of rubbery silliness. but there's always hope

Looks like it's going to be a good one,which is more than you can say for recent video game movies and upcoming ones for that matter.(Bloodrayne for example)

I realize that it's too early for the studio to really start hyping the movie but there isn't alot of content here.. ? Do these people know that fans are really looking forward to this?

Re: How close are the video game & the movie?
 

it's refreshing to see they've researched and stuck to the material.it's looking good......and i just realized the director is the same guy that did "brotherhood of the wolf" which i thought was a good film.

I'm so excited about this movie. I was expecting the visuals to be extremely toned down in order to get a PG-13 rating (which may still happen, to be fair) but it looks like they've done it up right. I can only hope so.

Re: Silent Hill 15 Minute behind the scenes short
 

Saw it yesterday, it makes me so much more excited to see... I like the artistry that was put into the shot with Sean Bean walking past the same building his wife is running by, but both in different worlds.

Okay, all I can say is that this movie better be good! I have played all four of the games and if they mess this up I will be extremely agravated! :mad:

Looks like a lot of you have pretty positive expectation about SH, but I don't know. Lot's of these game-to-screen movies unusually have really good production values, but lots of times, that's all they have.

Even with that said, I still have hope.

Btw, I don't know if they're running them in every part of the country, but has anyone else noticed this new trend of showing on TV commercials for movies that are as long as the trailer you'd see in a theater. I mention this because SH is the latest one I've seen like this.

Personally, I dig it.

I don't trust you.

You can't just post this... you must be after something.

Svine! - admit it!

:mad:


























don't leave us.....

:(

Damnit make up your mind whose side your on!

I hope its good also!

Everybody's.

:D

I want to see this. I just hope it isn't another game-to-movie flop. :(

No matter what anyone says, I'm going in with crazy expectations... which could be why I'm going to get disappointed.

I really really wish they'd remove that tag from this site. I'm not looking at the trailers or nuthin.' I want to be totally surprised. I am more excited about this movie than a rich kid at Christmas. It had better be good too. I'll accept good. Absolutely kick-ass fantastic would be my greatest wish, but good will suffice.

It helps that Sean Bean is in it. I am in fucking love with him and have been since he was that IRA agent in that movie with Harrison Ford. I soooo want him.

Anyway... Silent Hill...

I wish some of us lived closer so we could get a gang together and go see it. That would be really fun.

I'd go, but I couldn't get in. And besides, who wants a 16 year old teenager hanging with them? lol

I agree with Haunted, I just want to be surprised by this movie, so I stopped watching the "making of" after a few minutes.

So far we were shown that they made a good job on creating the game's basic features on the movie (like the set and monsters) so I can tell it won't be a total waste of time like Alone in the Dark (I get angry just by thinking about that movieeeeeeeeee!)

Anyways, what is still missing is the most essencial part: the way they tell the story. If they film it the wrong way, the movie is ruined, if the actors aren't believable, the movie's ruined, if the storyline doesn't go along with the game's, ruined.

So... everything's still at stake, they BETTER not screw it up and remember that many of us who will see the movie have played the game and loved it.

I have to say only two things:

First as a big fan of this videogame saga I hope that the film became as good as it looks


Second I hate this world, the film will be on theaters in the US this 21 but in Spain it would be (with luck) in june...I wish I was born in the US:mad:

or in france. it's out here next week. :)

i played all four games and loved them. this sooo better be good.

you...you...you...are so lucky:(

Ahahaha, those in Canada... it's rated 18A. I am so freaking pumped to see this. Mother is taking me and a friend tomorrow. <3 Ohhh yes. Yep yep yep. Being 16 is fine.

Your mom is cool. :D Hey, at least you don' t have to wait months to watch the movie. I'm 22 and I still have to wait baaah!

Just came back from the 12:01 am showing of silent hill. It was creepy, a little strange, and had a lot of gore. Definitely worth the money to go see it in theaters. People being ripped apart by barbed wire & burned alive, are just 2 of the tactics used. I will say the movie was put together pretty good. Even had a good history in the movie (of the story line, not the actually town in PA). But the ending was left open like most movies made lately. But that just probably means a sequal.
The only thing is if your going to put a town and county in a state. Its better when they are actually there. There town was put in place of Braxton Co. WV. But I won't hold that against it. I guess if its a coal town its almost always in WV or PA. It was Good though. Probably 4 out of 5 stars.
It was actually based on a story from a town called Centralia in PA. In 1962 a fire was started in a mine and it is still burning today. To find out more go to www.offroaders.com and look it up. Or just go to the Silent hill site and there should be a link.

To those who already saw the movie and want to criticise, don't forget to let us know when a SPOILER is on the way...

Please.

If I can coerce someone to go I'll go see it tonight.

i heard a very favorable review of this one ..
supposedly pretty gory for a mainstream release ..

I didn't criticize the movie. I said it WAS worth seeing. And I didn't spoil anything. If you read the actual story listed on this web site from the people who seen some of the filming.. they are the ones who gave the whole story line and everything that happens in the movie. Or go to the Silent Hill website and you will find over half the info I gave.

Have you ever heard of POSITIVE criticism? That's what you did. I was talking about all sorts of critique.

And secondly, I don't go to those sites because I don't want to know too much about the movie and ruin the surprise.

Thirdly, you gave away details that I don't think could have been on any website, like the way characters die in the movie. And that, my dear, IS a spoiler.

Actualy like I said ... This website you are on right now tells how some of the characters are killed. Don't read the critiques if you don't want to know information... Who said that the tactics killed them? I just said they were used. So think of it as you will... but whatever the vision you will see. It will be different at the movies.. dead or alive.. So wine a lil bit to someone else.
