Don't even bother replying; I already left the thread.

No, the silent hill movie is awful in every way by film standards

It would have been a decent generic horror movie, but since it is explicitly linked to Silent Hill it is an embarrassment.

If you've never seen a horror movie, or played the source material, Silent Hill is still a terrible movie that makes no sense with terrible set and creature designs and zero scares.

To be quite honest, I think people enjoy the idea of SH more than they actually like the movie. That, or you really need to broaden your horizons and expose yourself to more shit because it really isn't good by any measure.

>with terrible set and creature designs
Fuck you hard.

I really liked it, I rewatch it every now and then. The skin rippin was really unexpected.

Yeah, I liked it. A movie is good if it did what it set out to do, not if it was the next Godfather. It was creepy and showcased the story of the game well enough, there was horror elements and brutal violence. There you go, you have Silent Hill.

I thought the first movie was sort of alright but I think it's mainly due to Yamaoka's soundtrack. The second movie is one of the worst movies I've ever had the displeasure to see.

honestly, yes. It was on TV yesterday and I did catch myself thinking it was pretty faithful to it's source material (with the exception of pyramid head).
Like they actually did the creatures from the game and it rotated around finding a small girl, so in terms of video game movies, it's probably one Of The better/best ones.

Better than doom i'll give it that.

I think in terms of a video game movie it's good, although there are a lot of flaws. I love the soundtrack though, is absolutely perfect.

Could've been great,but It was just..... not

Gay as fuck.

It's the best video game movie I've seen. It's also the only video game movie I've seen.

The Warcraft movie sucked Gul'dan's dick.

There was the bit where the main character meets the burned up witch lady in the hospital, and like the movies hits the brakes for ten minutes to force feed you the plot or something as I recall? At that point the movie quite literally goes in the shitter.

However, that's in like the last 25 minutes of the movie. Up till that point, the rest of the movie is like a solid 8-9/10, so overall it's honestly very good. Really, if you could just turn the movie off the moment she enters that hospital room, then it's a solid movie and possibly the best video game movie.

i like the first movie.

Visually, it was always good. Narratively, it's been retrospectively made passable on the grounds that it could've been worse - it could've been Revelation.

Fuck no. It's a dumpster fire. You Silent Hill fans have no fucking standards holy shit.

Revelation has scarred us, user. Caused us to reevaluate what we already had. It was that bad.

It wasn't a good adaptation of the source material but it was offensive like the second movie.

>mfw never get a Silent Hill movie that follows the themes and ideas behind SH2 and uses 60's Japanese film techniques like painted backdrops

*wasn't*

>painted backdrops
>60's Japanese film techniques

No.
Shit writing, shit acting, lore-rape towards games if you're into that, and practically responsible for ruining every SH game made after 4.

No.
It's wasn't unwatchable but it's still pretty bad.

I am stupid enough to give you a (you) but I'm not stupid enough to think that the Japanese created and were the only ones to use painted backdrops. However, Kwaidan and Jigoku are examples of using backdrops to create a surreal atmosphere.

>It was creepy and showcased the story of the game well enough
It completely shat on the story in every possible way. What the fuck is wrong with you?

The only good thing about it is the otherworld transition effects

It would have been decent if they had kept the whole cult thing. Instead this was the area of shitting on fundamentalist Christians in the US so they changed it to a fundie cult with the purgatory being a "good" thing.

Movie Pyramid head had a great design though.

The story was nonsense and the acting was bad.
Effects and sound designs were near perfect though except the retarded barbed wire thing at the end. The music was great too (although it was all music from the games, so that isn't a surprise).

The movie going audience didn't know/care. On it's own, it was fairly well done

one one hand you have youtube.com/watch?v=HqwlX8WGSFM and on the other you have this absolute shit fuckery youtube.com/watch?v=ujVuhm1-_AI

>Game lore
>Evil cult wants to summon "god" into reality
>Burn a little girl to impregnate her with the god
>Little girl splits her soul into a good half.
>evil limbo shrouds the town as a result of the evil god or some shit.

>Movie Lore
>Crazy christian witch hunter town
>Everyone hates little girl for being a virgin birth
>Church burns the little girl but she gets saved
>Little girl makes a deal with satan and sucks half the town into a personal hell.
>Satan takes the form of her evil half, she hides her good half away.

They basically altered the lore for the sake of placing blame on evil zealot christfag because movies where devil worshipers were bad fell out of style. It was much more cool and post-modern to make fundies crazy even though they're basically affirming to their beliefs by making the devil real in the film.

I'm an atheist and looking back that shit was embarrassing.

>Remember how FUCKING COOOL Pyramid Head is!

That dude looked like a contortionist awkwardly flicking his tongue about. It was cringy more than creepy.

>If you don't pay attention to all of its flaws, it was a good movie

Fuckery is from second movie.

this trailer is the closest we will ever get to a good silent hill movie

We already had a good SH movie long before the games. It's called "Jacob's Ladder".

After that, just watch The Mist and Black Swan.
