yo mama Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Watched the film Silent Hill last night. I can't remember the last "scary" film that actually scared me. And so disturbing; lots of 'Hellraiser-esque" imagery (the good one, not the crappy sequels). I liked the fact that the film, though mildly linear, was not subject to a cliche, formulaic plot line. (I ended up rooting for the demons). Though, the closing scene made very little sense to me, unless they were throwing in some sort of alternate dimension into the mix without adequate explanation. Certainly not a film for the kids, and probably not much of a date movie. But the film did what it set out to do rather well, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why most people wouldn't like this film. You'd have to dig movies like Saw, Hellraiser, Hostel, or films with disturbing images like Requiem for a Dream.

Piranha Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I thought it was ok. Wasn't it made after a video game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsfan Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Video game came first. and was excellent. The control scheme stunk, but the story and game-play were phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDFFFreak Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Good visuals, bad movie. Never played the game so it was all new to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 My friend loves the games and supposedly the opening follows the game frame by frame. I loved the movie because you can tell which parts were played in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
