What went wrong? It takes too many liberties from the PS1 game
>>214516630Has some flaws (over the top CGI at times, exposition dump, goofy makeup), but overall is a great horror film.Some all time top brutal deaths. Good ending. Amazing set design.
I Hope Eileen shaving bro finds his way into this thread.
>>214516630They took something Lynchian and made it generic; all style and no atmosphere.
Too many women?
>>214516780Ironically, the sequel has more Lynchian moments.The ultimate Silent Hill film was already made and it's Jacob's Ladder - i.e. the film that inspired the game.
If you think that's bad you should see the sequel.
>>214516630Was this the sexiest Jodelle Ferland ever was?
>>214516630>What went wrongadaptation of a video game into film/tv is always irredeemable shit, zero exceptions.
>>214516630i like it! probably helps i don't know much about the video game thoughit has a budget and great acting/direction, what's not to like?
>>214516630Its not bad its just not completely faithful to the source movie. It's only a bad movie to someone who cares about the games lore and story.
>>214516817The first game borrows far more from Phantoms than it does Jacob's Ladder.
>>214516630Videogame fags will never be satisfied. They want a film that gives the exact same experience as the game they have autistically speedrun through 100 times.If a remake of the game experience is blasphemy to them, don't ever expect a positive film review.
>>214516630The first game is pretty barebones until the last half hour.
>>214516630It's actually very solid horror with great atmosphere, doundtrack and production value. They made it a hybrid of first one with its sequels, which disappointed fans, but it's still worth a watch.
>>214516630They didn't film it in the Kindergarten Cop school.
>>214516918Ben Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms yo
>>214516780What, exactly, about SH1 is "Lynchian?"
>>214517114Nothing, Silent Hill is good.
>>214517147u a ho
Will it suck?
>>214517201probably but I'll still see it
>>214517201>same actress playing Maria and Mary (reasonable) AND Angelawhat the fuck
>>214517114The Silent Hill game and movie have unexplained and bizarre monsters. It’s my favorite type of horror, scary and without a backstory. Even when they do tell a backstory it doesn’t explain how a big guy ended up with a metal pyramid head and a giant sword. Hellraiser has the same vibe.
>>214516630Watched it recently, it’s not good, but not terrible.It has a cool silent hillish atmosphere, but the story, dialogue, and child acting are kinda shit.Also what the FUCK was the point of Sean Bean’s character? He could literally be edited right out of the film and nothing would change (in fact it would probably benefit from it).Overall it just feels like wasted potential. I l think a Silent Hill 2 movie would be an easy slam dunk with a competent horror director. Would maybe be a cool idea to have different screenings with different endings. The new movie just looks like a porno parody of it.
>>214517649Nah Bean's character is the lynchpin. It heightens the existence of Silent Hill by contrasting it with the real world, and delivers a crestfallen blow at the end of the film where he is separated from his family.Plus he's amazing. It's a shame it wasn't a SH2 adaption with him in the lead, because he has this natural despair to his face.

>>214516630the film was perfect, stop being a contrarian faggot
>>214518004Based
>>214516838What the fuck dude, she was like 11 in that movie.
>>214516688>>214518004Super effort. Absolute brilliance.
>>214516630Atmosphere was great, but the writing was a bit shit. One of those movies that could have been really good, but ended up being merely okay.
>>214517201It's getting released in January, the studio has no faith in it.
>>214518145>the studio has no faith in it.we have faith in it, that's all that matters.
>>214518145Yeah because the rest of the year is packed
>Asks a question.>Answer the question.Are you fucking stupid?
Speaking of Silent Hill, can you recommend other movies where evil people get punished by some supernatural force?
>>214516630They simply gender swapped the main because a female in peril add more tension than a male (Sean fucking Bean, imagine), I think it worked perfectly to have two weak roasties as mains instead a chad and a policewoman like in the videogame.Kino.
>>21451820928 Years Later: Bone Temple got announced in Jan as well so it's gonna be brutal.I'll be there for it anyway, I think Gans is worth supporting.
>>214518068>she was like 11Out of 10!
>>214518258Send Help, the new Sam Raimi flick is releasing that same month too.
>>214518460Oh is it? Hell yeah. Stacked month for me then, there's no way Raimi gonna miss.
One of the best-looking and most polished PS2 games. It's a shame that it doesn't last very long.
Cybil is ungodly hot in this
It's not that great. Even in 2001, there were other cinematic/atmospheric games with more gameplay substance (such as ICO)
>>214518145Cineverse snagged it because the other studios didn't like the sex abuse stuff being so central to the story.
>>214518004THE MAN,THE LEGEND
>>214517201yes
>>214518167you would be a fool to not see the slop written on the wall
>>214516630translated to a vastly inferior medium with vastly inferior visuals and audio
>>214519748>babby's first box puzzles with shit controls for muh animations is gameplay substancelul
>>214520255Filtered. ICO is awesome
the only people who like this movie never actually played through the game
1 > 3 >>> 2
>>214518247It's a very "female" movie. Protagonist, support, villain, monster, most prominent victims (you know the scene), person to find. All female.
>>214516630I like it. Was both comfy and psychological.
>>214518068Sexo
>>214520845comfy
>>214516630nothing? felt like the director was a bit of a chud doe. lots of gruesome female deaths in this film and that's based
bump
>>214516817and lost highway for sh2
>>214516817Jacob's ladder is awesome, but not rural enough!
>>214520845mmmmmmmmmmmmcomfy burning
too scary for me as a kid
>>214516921>Videogame fags will never be satisfiedIf a game is about a father looking for his daughter while a cult tries to birth God, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the movie to be roughly about that instead of almost the exact opposite (a woman looking for his daughter while witch hunters try to keep the devil away).Even fever dreams like the 90s Mario movie were a lot closer to their games than the unnecessary and derivative inversion Silent Hill did.
>>214527177>a gameThere were 4 games in the series by the time the film came out, and none of those bothered to have any consistency between them. It was never said to be an adaption of a particular game.
>>214517354The game does explain why a big dude has a big pyramid over his head and why he carries a big sword tho.
>>214516630I literally cringed when they brought out the map. Don't reference gameplay mechanics, you french hack!
>>214527319Nigga what? The movie maintains the same setup, story, some characters and even some set pieces from the first game. It changes a lot and a lot of it is for the worst but it is always recognizable as a silent hill 1 adaptation.
>>214516630Where the fuck were the SH1 monsters? My pterodactyl niggas. The dogs. The gorilla motherfuckers. All they had was a shitty version of the gray kids without the knives. Even the nurses were the Soilent Hill 2 ones, not the cool parasitized ones from the first game.
>>214518241Hellraiser
>>214516630Making it exclusivaly about blonde bimbos instead of a father's search for his daughter is bad for the story but good for gooners.Also, featuring the little girl constantly was annoying as fuck.Pyramid head shouldn't be there, but ripping someone's skin off was cool.
Silent Hill as a concept works best the less you know about what's going on.The movie tries to explain and show too much.
>>214516630Making Silent Hill a town that had been abandoned for decades vs. a town where everyone suddenly disappeared not long before the game/movie starts was dumb. Cybil is there in the game because they lost contact with the SH police and she was sent to check out the situation.
>>214517649the studio asked them to put him in, because they felt there werent enough male characters in the movie
Loved it. Remember to do a rewatch of the coolest youtubers playing silent hill games, 2 best friends. Shitstorm of scariness is autumn kino.
>>214516630>What went wrong?It's pretty much the best case scenario for a big budget Silent Hill adaptation, so I say count yourself lucky.
It could have been better but it's not bad
It was neat they connected the story with the sequel and Sean Brad's character.
>>214516780This. I feel the same about Midnight meat train. It's so glossy, feels like a 90 minute commercial
>>214516630Absolutely nonsense screenplay and the inclusion of pyramid head made no sense and was blatant fan-service and brought the whole movie down.
>>214527356Pyramid Head is a Jungian Shadow-esque manifestation of the main character of Silent Hill 2, James.Having him appear in the movie, without James, is completely retarded and shows the creators had no idea what they were doing with the source material outside of a superficial visual/audio level.
>>21452717790% of the SH fanbase has no idea what the Order is actually doing, can you imagine how confusing that shit would have been for normies? If it wasn't for stuff like wikis and loredumper youtubers even most of the dedicated fans of the games wouldnt understand beyond bits and pieces here and there and would probably come to a wrong conclusion.
>>214516630post your best SHgirl
>>214517201It be better then F
>>214516817Isn’t the director of part 2 a shemale?
The CGI aged quite poorly. This could be a really cool movie though the themes are unique and awesome.
