i just saw it. it was a good flick. i didn't know it was a video game until today though.

4/23/2006 12:58:16 AM

anyone know where i can download a track or two off the movie soundtrack?

kinda important, kinda not.

4/23/2006 3:00:56 AM

some of the beats in the movie was hot....but I hated the fuckin ending...it ruined the movie for me

4/23/2006 3:15:39 AM

^my thoughts exactly

i mean i really stopped to think wow, this music really does a lot for the mood


but yeah ending was lame.

4/23/2006 3:16:24 AM

we were rockin our heads in the theather. but what was up with the ending?

4/23/2006 3:17:47 AM

only thing i can come up with is it leaves some room (tho a fucked up way to do so) for a sequel.

4/23/2006 3:22:43 AM

i beleive a lot of it is music to the game. a second would be cool cuz supposedly #2 was the best game and it had lots of pyramid head.

4/23/2006 8:32:49 AM

spoliers or whatever

It is my understanding that only #2 had pyramid head because that was just a sub boss kinda for the game. So they just took the most popular villan and ran with it.

Also, I really didnt like the fog world outside of silent hill. I mean Silent Hill is the place where the fog is. I guess you can project "limbo" anywhere but it really takes the "OMFG WTF IS SILENT HILL" aspect away from it.

It sets it up for a sequel for the husband to go to silent hill, and the demon girl still exsists, but wasnt the entire point of silent hill being a fucked up place due to that girls hatred? In addition, each game doesnt really tie into each other except for cetain things. I cant remember if the characters in each game are related. I think there is a loose connection but not sure.

Anyhoo, good movie, GREAT shock value, but a sequel will need clever writing to pull off.

4/23/2006 4:36:40 PM

^yeah the whole fog world when she goes back to the house is kinda bad.

i love the part where she had to take the hotel piece from the janitors mouth. i was on the edge of my seat. Actually that whole scene with the room turning too was creepy.

i wanted more creepy kids in the school though like the game.

but yeah it's no where as close as scary as the game because you don't control the fate of the character.

pretty good movie overall though. lots of gross parts.

4/23/2006 4:48:28 PM

^^ i think 1 and 3 were related at least decently while 2 and 4 were off shoots (particularly 4).

4/23/2006 5:29:43 PM

the burn victim girl WAS the evil force


her nightmare has now been released from silent hill and exists worldwide for the mother and daughter. they remain trapped.

the father's gonna have to go in and dispatch of the burn victim and the little evil girl, who now currently resides in the daughter.


basically the second movie is gonna be crazy.

4/23/2006 10:28:33 PM

that movie blew. HARD>

4/23/2006 10:50:13 PM

I just saw this.

Barbed wire through the crotch. That's about all I can say. That, and the ending wasn't really an ending at all.

I'm never a really big thriller/horror fan anyway, but eh. I wanted to know pyramid head's story, since he seemed interesting but wasn't ever explained.

4/23/2006 10:55:50 PM

shrug you can wikipedia him if you like.

4/23/2006 10:58:30 PM

I know, I just didn't feel like the movie was complete or cohesive at all.

4/23/2006 10:59:42 PM

Pyramid Head pwns

4/24/2006 12:00:47 AM

i like how i saw parents bringing their 8 year old kids to this movie.

4/24/2006 12:19:35 AM

good movie.

4/24/2006 12:48:32 AM

Pyramid Head was a boss in Silent Hill 2 that somehow represented the main characters twisted sexual desires. In the game Pyramid Head raped random female like monsters and what not. That would have been cool in the movie but dragging two huge cast iron swords and having a swarm of evil insect things all around him was just as wicked.

4/24/2006 4:26:06 AM

did anyone else notice the apparent smoothness of the special effects (as if the framerates were especially high)? it seems like they did some major souping up of the rendering software/hardware for this one.

4/24/2006 1:35:02 PM

I just saw this for some reason.

I don't know why.

4/24/2006 10:13:27 PM

You were bored and have a bunch of nerdy friends?

That's why I saw it, anyway.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAAHHAHAHA

^ Yeah, except I saw it alone, because, well, I won't go into that.

4/24/2006 10:19:25 PM

It's okay, you can just admit that you wanted to masturbate during it.

4/24/2006 10:21:10 PM

Wanted to?

OR DID?!?

4/24/2006 10:21:49 PM

Either. You know, after pyramid head ripped the skin off that girl, I'm sure you didn't have much of a choice.

4/24/2006 10:23:44 PM

We're all the products of our environments.

i guess you didn't notice this subtlety. no need to be a typical tww douche about it, but i should expect no less.

4/24/2006 11:11:48 PM

The reason he's laughing is because the majority of the movie was shot with dancers in latex rather than CGI. The main components that were CGI were the bugs around pyramid head and the fog.

4/24/2006 11:18:27 PM

i wish that siren would go off while i was in the brickyard...then everything got really dark and metal head came out and wrecked shit

4/24/2006 11:37:01 PM

i thought the CGI was pretty good throughout...in fact the visuals were probably the only redeeming thing about the movie

*minor spoiler but who cares because someone already mentioned it*

oh, and pyramid head ripping the skin off that girl (which actually contained one of the poorly done CGI sequences - the rendering of the girl after he ripped her clothes off)

If that shit happens when I'm in the brickyard, I'm following Gary.

You're right.

I didn't notice that the effects were drawn at a higher framerate than in other films.

Because I didn't realize the film was being drawn in realtime.

Here I am, dumb as shit, thinking that all 35mm films are shown at 24 frames per second, but apparently Silent Hill uses some sort of magical technology that gets around that. I did not notice that subtlety.

4/25/2006 12:19:52 AM

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

4/25/2006 12:47:51 AM

it was a badass flick. the gore factor kept it going.

4/25/2006 12:49:26 AM

apparently you didn't read the "as if" part of my statement. i didn't really explain that part in detail, but i was thinking about it from the perspective of a former video game nut; when you changed settings around to get an increase in fps you noticed a smoothness in animation. i thought maybe you nerds would have some inkling of what i was talking about, but i was wrong. next time i'll spell it out for you. if it's still not obvious, i said "as if," meaning i did not actually think there was an increase in framerates for this movie at this theatre.

also, i like how you posted your technical knowledge of 35mm films to make you feel better about yourself. well i guess you have to get your feeling of superiority from somewhere. i get mine from calling you a douchebag. you fucking douchebag.

4/25/2006 1:36:45 AM

the idea was funny jimmy, but poorly executed. i didnt get what you meant either so i just skipped over it.

4/25/2006 8:21:18 AM

Can't we all just get along?

I'm still going to say this is a real good movie, the best I've seen all year.

4/25/2006 12:28:07 PM

4/25/2006 12:31:03 PM

And I'm going to guess that the only other movie you've seen this year was Ultraviolet.

4/25/2006 12:31:06 PM

Compared to other films this year, yes, it is very good.

4/25/2006 12:33:16 PM

Only movie where I was like Holy Fucking Shit, and you know what I am refering too

4/25/2006 3:47:23 PM

SPOILERS*

Pyramid head?

The Nurses?

The human beetles?

The midget zombies?

'Colin?''

Which?

Hahahahahahaha. My friends and I went to see it when Rotten Tomatoes at it rated at a whopping 8% to see if we could watch the entire thing. I seriously wanted to tear my eyes out after that.

Are you serious?

4/25/2006 4:14:49 PM

Alright, allow me to explain myself.

When I go see a movie (with the exception of the stray forced romantic comedy and most comedies) I look for themes.

As far as a scary movie, Silent Hill did not vary much. We get the gore, we get the creepy little girl (there seems to be a ton of movies with creepy little girls in them) and we get the demonic.

But, in Silent Hill, I saw something more than the above mentioned elements. I saw themes related to religion, purity, God, death and punishment. I also liked how Silent Hill itself was a character in the film.

Also, the soundtrack was most appropriate for the film.

And yes, I loved the ending because it left it open and in some way that 'closed' the film for me, considering the whole movie was about this horrible place called Silent Hill.

My taste in films just must be different and we'll just have to agree to disagree.
