Silent Hill: Revelations

[Ip Man]

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is based on the acclaimed survival horror videogame franchise by KONAMI and is the sequel to Hadida and Carmody’s earlier Silent Hill directed by Christophe Gans. For years, Heather Mason (Clemens) and her father have been on the run, always one step ahead of dangerous forces that she doesn’t fully understand. Now on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by terrifying nightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she's not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in Silent Hill forever.

cool, i was wondering when a sequel would make an appearance

 

[King Sora X]

i hope that triangular-diamond metal head guy comes back

You mean Pyramid Head?

I do hope he comes back too, and hopefully it's just as bloody and violent as the last one.

Way too cool. Heather's my favorite protagonist in the series, and it looks like they're doing her right. And the first Silent Hill is one of the best video game movies out there, imo. I hope they do even better with this one.

There isn't a whore in hell that will stop me from seeing this movie.

AND ALMOST OUT OF NOWHERE, the first trailer for this movie, as well as a minute and a half long scene featuring the nurses.

I really like how much they're borrowing from Silent Hill 3, including that Heather is Sean Bean's daughter. I don't like that it's in 3D.

Doesn't look too bad. I appreciate the fact they're using classic SH music too.

But I don't understand why they're taking things from Silent Hill 2 and putting it in this movie. The nurses and Pyramid Head were explicitly drawn from James' psyche. Seems odd considering this is a movie based off of Silent Hill 3.

 

[quiteMAD]

They were both in the last movie, which wasn't about James. So there's some clear differences between this version of the Silent Hill world, and the video game's. I don't mind that they're in this as long as they don't forget some of the classic enemies that came from 3.

Oh. I thought this was a reboot. Makes sense then.

I am seeing this first day. SH3 was the best game in the series, and this looks to be a great adaption of the story.

Differences that don't really seem to have much of a purpose, but it's like whatever. Seeing Pyramid Head was nice but without his symbolism attached just kind of makes the whole thing pretty superficial. I get that it's an "adaptation" but one reason Silent Hill was popular was because of these layers. Though there may be something to his appearance in the movie, but I'm unaware if it was anything significant.

But! I am liking some of the things I'm seeing in Revelations.

I enjoyed the first movie I suppose but I disliked the fact that Harry Mason wasn't the protagonist, especially considering how weak the director's reason was. He said he thought he was a feminine person anyways. Haha, yeah I suppose a father caring about his father enough to look for her = feminine.

It was an alright movie, it didn't feel long enough though. And the cult acted way over the top.

But you lose the reason why these monsters look as they do. It is like Konami just putting Nurses in every damn game for no reason. The movies just want the horror and blood. They don't care to add the whole psyche of the game, which makes Silent Hill so damn unique.

 

[Taochan]

I'd just like to know where Heather comes from in SH's movie-verse. I haven't seen the first movie for a very long time, but as I recall Chris only had his adopted daughter Sharon and his wife Rose was stuck in SH at the end of the movie... so how the fuck did he get Heather?

 

[quiteMAD]

I was wondering that too. I'm hoping it's explained, but I'm betting Sharon is Heather.

I like to think that there's some things molded by the person's psyche, and some things that are ever present. And considering how iconic Pyramid Head and the nurses are, I don't mind if they're what's ever present.

Oh if they're following the games, there's no doubt about that. The whole thing is just weird because supposedly Sharon got stuck in the "otherworld".

The nurses are the only ones that may have a reasonable explanation for it, but they could've easily included Valtiel in this one over Pyramid Head. In fact they should've.

 

[Haeralis]

Pretty sure that Sharon was stuck in the Fog World, not the Otherworld.

That's sort of not official. I used quotations because in the games there's hardly a reference to that being another dimension. Then again I never played anything after 3 except for Shattered Memories.

That's sort of a fan name and not official. I used quotations because in the games there's hardly a reference to that being another world. Then again I never played anything after 3 except for Shattered Memories.

IIRC the director of the Silent Hill movie stated that the films continuity worked with alternate dimensions. The games don't say spell this out though, its up to interpretation.
