  • Is the song at 0:14 part of the OST from Silent Hill? If so, what's it called?

  • whou¡ like

  • HAHA! I would laugh so hard if this dude played FFVII. He wouldn't know what to do.

  • this is so dope.

  • hey look, a director that cares about the game he's making into a film!

  • @thekk2007 Yea not like DOOM or resident evil

    :D

  • @thekk2007 Yeah, I wish the same level of respect was put into the Resident Evil movies.

  • @LivingxPrime Respect? Aside for well done visuals/environments, the rest has basically nothing to do with the real story of Silent Hill.

    When you actually know the story, you realize most of the movie don't make sense.

    "...true to the spirit of the material"... haha! What bullshit.

    So "respect" is definitely not the right word here.

    Also : Sean Bean is useless. Completely.

  • @QuasarasauQ I completely disagree with your claim that respect isn't the correct word. Why would you want the exact same sequence of events from the game to be implanted into a movie? What purpose would that serve for entertainment? It wouldn't, the result would be a long and lackluster (boring) movie with actors that'll never live up to your nostalgia. They respect the series with the atmosphere, visual elements, and some characters intertwined. Compared to RE, they did phenominal here.

  • @QuasarasauQ I agree cause now the sequels are gonna be different as well

  • "the other thing we strive to do is to make it logical on a level that those who have no idea what the game is about will understand..." --the key mistake that kept this movie and most remakes from being better.

  • Laurie Holden is so beautiful! I fell in love with her since I saw the movie. She looked realle sexy in that police outfit :D

  • Silent Hill: Derp derp edition.

  • I was hoping this movie be like the game and it wasnt. It had some good parts but they changed so much of it. !

  • @girlieeee3 They always do change things in movies. Another one is Resident Evil movies... come on, nothing to do with the games at all!! first... WHO THE FUCK IS ALICE? yeah, Milla play a good roll and is beautiful too and sexy but she doesn't even exist in the game... ¬¬ is more like the directors and producers decide to reflect in their work the way they see things and they do what they think would be better to make it a nice film... about this one, I liked it, the movie is awesome :)

  • @girlieeee3 well adapting a game is hard. It has to stay true, it has to have the same elements and stuff. But i think that the Super Mario movie could've been better. At least they didn't get Freddy Mercury and Danny DeVitto with a mustache.

  • I like that the lead is now a woman. I think it displays a more powerful and realistic message. I know how it sucks that they changed some of people's favorite scenes but honestly if it were the exact same it'd be pretty boring. They transfigured the game into an intense and overall fantastic movie. I can't say the same for dragonball and street fighter however...

    I highly anticipate the next movie. This actually is becoming one of my most favorite series of movies.

  • I want that song at the beginning. Anyone know where I can get it?

  • I love this movie so much . I'm not old enough to get in , but I will make sure I get into Silent Hill : Revelations 3D when it comes out . <3

  • "A game is a game, and a film is a film."

    'Nuff said. *applauds* People should judge them as such. I love the games, AND I love the movie.

  • I like the idea of having a female main character. Let's face it, men can be wonderful fathers, but when it comes down to a mother trying to find her child, even if said child is adopted... there's an intense connection there that would drive a woman to do so many things to save her child. Honestly, I loved this movie to pieces, it's one of my favorites, and I am eagerly awaiting the second one.

  • @FoxfireAnomaly You took the words right out of my mouth.

  • @XxDrJewxX The creatures in the film represented Alessa's memories of her tormentors and fairy tales. For example, the Grey Children represent both the children that tormented Alessa in school and the pain she felt while burning, hence how they are burning, if you pay attention. Also, PH represents possible judgement for the cultists. The orginal ending to the film had 6 PHs killing the cult.

  • lastly, the monsters on the game are representations of the main characters feelings, fears, hatred etc. when in this movie they are just monster that look scary, without any meaning at all, you missed what they are supposed to represent, pyramid head? there is no james in this movie so why the hell is he even here, just because he looks cool? guess he didn't understand why pyramid head exists and why he was scary. SH2 is not going to make any sense, they changed to much already in te first one.

  • you stayed true to the atmosphere of the game? well, kinda, it felt very short, you missed out much o it, its a feeling of dread and loneliness, unarmed and unprepared, asking yourself if what you are seeing is even true, wondering what the hell is happening, buy mostly feeling ALONE, even the game forced you to kill your only sane companion, including 100 people that comes running out of nowhere into a church with more people in it, you just killed everything that made the game truly scary,

  • You cant change certain things just to make it a movie, dahlia for example, shes a critical point in the story, she began all of whats happened on silent hill by being brutal to alessa, a religious nut job, she didn't love her daughter, she only did it for her to become the vessel of samael, she didn't feel any remorse for doing what she did to her, she was just an evil manipulating women, we are not supposed to feel bad about her, shes the main villain, why change her for a made up cristabela

  • @loveanime101 : Agreed.

  • The guy helping out Christopher could have made a really good Kaufman and Christopher would make a really good Douglas or an older version of Harry. Anna looks like a good Angela. Just stating my thoughts :)

  • Silent hill is a GREAT game but the movie SUCK because of idiot American producers and American actresses, the plot is banal, bring out none of the true horror effect you experience it the GAME, and all that typical hollywood drama shit, damn shame

    so now idiotic American audiences think this is just another hyped up Halloween movie, and so is the original game ...

  • @tchen10 As much as I agree that the movie is no where near as awesome epicness as the games, howEVER, that still doesn't change the face that you're an idiot....

    AMERICAN producers? AMERICAN actresses? Radha Mitchell, American? Chrisophe Gans, American? Samuel Hadida, American? Ffs, PLEASE know what you're talking about before you start trashing.

    I am so sick of morons like you. Oh, and I'm an AMERICAN.

  • i hate many movies that try to make movies about video games like:

    FAR CRY

    TEKKEN

    KING OF FIGHTERS

    DOOM so they all sucked

    but silent hill movie was pretty good well made

  • Comment removed

  • 2:14-2:19

    Judas, Juda-a-as(;

    Thumbs up if you get it

  • Cybil is way too hot. Lol pun intended.

  • anyone knws where i can watch silent hill for free?

  • @mssingu123 Youtube look for it and you should find it.

  • "We found that it's a woman" Bullshit. If anyone has watched 'The Real Silent Hill Experince" here on youtube than you know that from his quote that Christophe didn't 'find' that Harry Was a woman. He found that he wanted some tits to look, "no men and have sexy women". Also something about F**cking "the American bimbo".

  • is the director french? or he speaks wearly...??? just for ask.

  • "The Sillent Hill fanbase is very protective of the game."

    Hah. That makes me feel like Silent Hill is our baby.

  • I don't think this movie was a literal adaptation of the games. I think the movies was about SILENT HILL, to bring in the essence of the silent hill world. I do think that the new Silent Hill movie coming soon is an adaption of Silent Hill 3.

  • They tried to stay true to the game, but most of the SH fans I am friends with or have talked with actually hated the movie XD

  • @Lovelessinhell yea cuz it is very differnt. this felt more like a monster movie chase fest. the pacfe of the movie was very fast and she did a lot of literally running around. just exactly what a player wud be doing in a game. they shud have focused on the psychological aspect of it and its slow creeping pace. jacob's ladder seemed more like a silent hill movie than this one. i do appreciate their efforts tho, tis a hard task.

  • The game is definitely scarier because when you play the game it is you controlling the character and it's you running away from the monsters and it's you who has to kill them. The film was good but to actually be afraid of Silent Hill you must BE in Silent Hill.

  • ive never played the game but i love th movie

  • click to 1:49 :D

    

  • I hate when french people with huge accent like the producer try to speak english

  • I LIKE WHEN U SAY "CUT"

  • Comment removed

  • The editor needed to be run over by a truck. They cut so much great footage that made you really get into the film. It was pathetic.

    Just look at the making of. Half that shit was great and not actually IN the film =/

  • 0:25 or 0:26 - wtf monster? never saw it on SH 1

  • i started with silent hill 3 and i cant when for the second movie about heather.

  • @cosmosvision Same here! I think they're supposed to be making it now, right?

  • @AureliaFrog1980 yes they are, but it is a sequel to the first based off of Silent Hill 3. They're actually filming it at Woodbine Center and Fantasy Fair near where I live! I can't wait!

  • imagine that guy holding big knife can sprint...game over.

  • This is mine and my boyfriend's movie. <3

  • And this is how HArry Mason became...a woman. XD

  • like silent hill 5 the kid keep running away

  • Silent Hill 2 Is being filmed very close to my house right now!!! Ontario Cambridge Canada

  • @SashaSek thats great

  • @SashaSek did you ever drive past and see what went on? any behind the scenes action you would like to share :D ?

  • @SashaSek There's gonna be a Silent Hill 2?! :D Sweeeet!

  • @AJGeeray Ya they are probably done filming by now. It's bean a couple of months since I was passing by the set.

  • @SashaSek I haven't seen any commercials that there was in fact going to be a 2nd Silent Hill~ Do you know when it comes out?

  • @AJGeeray No idea tbh. Maybe they are just done with filming. Movies are usually released about a year after filming.

  • @SashaSek Haha, okay thanks :) can't wait!

  • @SashaSek omg really? who is it going ?

  • @SashaSek for real? Man you're so damn LUCKY!

  • @SashaSek cool :D so there is going to be a silent hill 2?

  • @brunasdo123 yes i think so there is a "leak" :

    silent hill: revelation 3D

    Heather Mason 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 horrific 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 forever.

  • I know no one likes it, but I like the movie plot better than the game :/ That's just me though...

  • @Kawaiixnyanxchan I have to agree....the games are some of my favorites....but people don't understand that you have to have a cohesive plot, that is not only for the gamers.

  • thanks alot for ruining the potential of such an amazeing series stupid jackass of a producer, jeez hollywood always tends to fuck video game movies up again an again its pathetic,why have a women cast as the main charecter? all they do it scream an run like a bitch. no one wants to see that they should of had someone cast as harry mason (like it was intended) and silent hill should never make sense,especially the evil shouldnt be described as the (good guys) thanks for fuckin the series up.

  • I could care less about the changing of the characters, I can understand that. I do have a problem however that Cybil had to die, that was not cool, that ruined the entire movie for me.

  • @DsAngel1211 you see her die in the game so wuts the big deal? that doesnt sound havlf as annoying as changing the characters

  • @cjjtheone ok herein lies the difference, u have to option to save her in the game if u actually take the time to play it throughly. They should have had her be saved just in time if u ask me, she was too good a character to have her die, its unfair and unjust lol.

  • @DsAngel1211 i guess rose isnt good at saving perople like harry. she got the worst ending lol

  • @cjjtheone no lie, shes a good actress and all, but I think her role could have been better. do u not agree?

  • @DsAngel1211 i dont know what you mean; her role was no diferent from harry's. it would be interesting if she was part of something aswell like henry

  • whats the name of the song at 2:49 from wich game soundtrack or whatsoever

    Pleasee helppp!

  • for once they get a video game movie right

  • Argh. They should never change the main protagonists. You don't make a Harry Potter movie and remake the main protagonist as "Larry Pauper".

  • @Aveilthe That's because it wasn't Silent Hill, it was someone's bad fanfic of Silent Hill.

  • @FeralRat harry + cherryl = silent hill...random chick + cherryl + silent hill = crap

  • @Aveilthe That would be awesome though... lol

  • @Aveilthe I think his reasons were justified well enough.

  • @AngelBeeps Nah.

  • @Aveilthe SO TRUE!

  • @Aveilthe if harry potter was a girl, i would love it 100 times more. leading ladies make everything more awesome. it's a fact.

  • Can someone tell me what's the name of the song that appears between the secons 0:13 to 0:30..

    I downloaded ALL the complete and original soundtracks from the games and the movie and i don't fount it.. Please, does someone know it?

  • Thank gawd he played the game to make this great movie...just I hated the dialogs sometimes XD

  • i my opinion the producer failed it, im not saying the film is "bad" - but its even far away from the quality level the games have, especially part 1-3. also i have to say i liked the film, i watched it a few times but for me its not "Silent Hill" for some reasons, above all that the director did not understand the story of the games, he just randomly chose some monsters from the games and put them into the movie(for example ph) ... anyway i hope that the second part will be better

  • I <3 Silent hill ,i really love the game and the movie...would be so awesome that silent hill 2(movie) would come out.

  • @MsSupahstar Actually they are making a sequel to the film, filming is set to start in a few weeks, though it's going to be based on silent hill 3

  • They should continue making the games into a film, that would be awesome!

  • @gamertjecool They are working on SH 2. I think they said that they wanted to listen to the fans more for the next one. It's still in the initial stages but the second film is supposed to be based more off the Silent Hill 3 video game story, they are searching for a teenage chick actor to play the man chick from SH3. It will probably come out in 2012 or if we are lucky late 2011.

  • @GeekyMex Awesome! Can't wait :D

  • I want to see silent hill origins, well it would be fun to actually know what ending travis will get xD

  • @ihearthidan07 UFOOO D:

  • Im sorry even as an actor in the light at 2 17 i woulda shit my pants

  • the pyramide guy's pants looks like disco :D

  • yo ♥ esta pelicula la mejor por siempre........

  • im SO in luv with pyramid head!

  • i love this film, it's more related to the games. the resident evil movies don't even remind me of the RE games, at least silent hill looks,feels, and sounds like the SH series. 

  • @micpere1991 I know! There is one resident evil movie alike to the games, Resident evil degeneration but its animated.

  • @Scorchfur18 i own Degeneration and prefer it over the "resident evil" movie series.

  • @micpere1991 Me too, Degeneration is the only one that follows the actual storyline with the same characters and stuff. :)

  • Dahlia was too pretty in this film xdD

  • why the hell are some of you critizising christophe's work?!?! I mean ,yes, the screenplay is different. Some characters are introduced earlier, some are introduced later. And there have been additions in plot as well as some things left out. That’s the way it is when you adapt a video game or book or whatever to a movie. I think it’s fascinating how video games and books are adapted to films. So,if y'all don't like Silent Hill then why are you watching this?!?!?!

  • Movies are usually not as good as the Original book or Game, but i understand the copyright issues you have if you have it exactly like the original, also do to length. it's like harry potter, resident evil and all the others that don't come close to the original thing...i guess we just have to accept the movies just give us a good visual for books and for games something to watch for a couple of hours rather then replay over again for 10 hours when your craving a franchise.

  • Yes, I watched the movie. I have dissected both it and the original idea, and come to find out, Gans didn't know what the hell he was talking about.

  • why the hell did not like slilent hill 1

    the movie was not as expected shit producer

    took more than silent hill 2

    that of the 1

  • best movie ever !

  • its so amazing how they hide the accents :)

  • Playstation 1...

    LOLS!!

  • Actually, i think that Christophe's biggest fally with this game was the choice to change Harry to Rose. Sorry, but i don't think there are enough well shown single dads, and no Harry is not a woman or close to in the game. he's just a decent man. You put a Karl Urban or Michael Madsen in the role and boom, you've got a likeable protagonist.

  • @Filmzie Well, it was an issue with the screenplay, really(written by Roger Avary). Christophe Gans paid RESPECT to the game... which is really rare when it comes to game/video adaptations. The movie for me was far from perfect... as a stand alone movie... its like a campy B movie with religious/psychoanalytical overtones. But as a video game movie, it was leaps and bounds ahead than anything that's come before it.

  • seems like i remember seeing this or something like it on either spike or g4tech(when it was on basic cable) like just it was being promoted for theatres.

    good times

  • @slavedestiny

    And a movie.

    And a book.

    Wasn't the game dantes inferno released like in the beginning of 2010.

    This movie(Silent Hill) was released in 2006.

  • @TheSHHAS she is such a badass she opened a time portal beat the game in 5 seconds and jumped back just in time for it to close

    and then she beat a gorrila in an arm wrestling match and then falcon punched pyramid head

  • I love the music i cant get it out of my head

  • @nave712 dante's inferno is a game

  • In comparison with the game, the movie was far less vague. But, considering the Hollywood trend of destroying original concepts, they didn't do a bad job turning it into a movie. Silent Hill is more symbolic. It doesn't follow a solid blueprint for a story, the story forms around the characters as form of punishment/lesson. The movie was SLIGHTLY different, but it was good.

    And I know it is video game heresy, but I actually enjoyed the movie more then the story of the first game.

  • whats the music from 5:05 to 5:30?

  • I'm a Silent Hill fan, strictly a fan of the games, and I didn't fully enjoy this movie. Does anyone agree that maybe this is one of those movies that sounds good on paper, but some parts aren't executed well? Because I can understand how the screenplay for this movie would look good if it was just read. But the acting and characters...meh. I wanted to see Harry Mason. Anyone?

  • @RCSODA70 I disagree with you I think they pulled it off very well. True many things were changed, but some of which is of necessity. I am a huge Silent Hill fan, and I was the first to notice many things that were different, but you have to understand how difficult it is to take something like Silent Hill or other popular and myserious games and turn them into a movie. It's never going to be spot on, but they did a very good job at it.

  • How do british people hide their accent for movies? I WANNA KNOW! I WANNA BE BRITISH!

  • @3OhHowWeWumbo3 Oh, it's so much fun. I totally feel sorry for all you guys out there who aren't British :P

  • @Alloflifedecays Neeh! >_< I was born in Kansas. I am FAR from being British!

  • Comment removed

  • SH2 made me cry like a baby..

  • I absolutely loved this movie, and I knew nothing about silent hill when I first saw it. I now own all SH on PS2 and would never give them up.

  • I feel that a lot of people are against this movie because it bled into the production of Silent Hill Homecoming. People are such loyalists to the original game. I actually like this movie and the new games (except Origins, bleh). I'm not sure about the new Silent Hill game, but they've only release so much. It'll be interesting to see what they concoct into the already disturbing elements of this game.

  • Zomg awesome! Thanks for posting I loved this movie and sitll love it so much xD

  • Christopher Gans is right: A game is a game, and a film, is a film. So most fans have to learn from that aspect. If not, then their of course.

  • I want to see Silent Hill 2 as a film, that would be ace.

  • @paulvenkman they start filiming it soon

  • @KingVashan1367

    Wow that comment was left a long time ago. Far as I'm aware the new film is about 'Heather' from SH3. I guess James is gonna have to do with being the third in the series.

    What is the problem with film makers, why can't they follow a story properly? They seem to make a film based on a game but it's not identical to the story of that game. I already know what the fan reaction is going to be like, more complaints!!! >:(

  • Comment removed

  • @YearOfTheShadow

    I'll pretend I didn't see that comment.

  • Ugh, their accents are so annoying.

  • うあああ、誰か日本語に訳して!!

  • @ami6631 わたしは、あなたを愛しています

  • punch buggy orange, *punch*

  • If this one is based on the game (Silent hill 1?) Then wheres Harry? :l

  • @Gunfresh It's based on the idea of the game not the game itself

  • @KillEmAllButGood oh.. sorry my mistake :)

  • @Gunfresh No need to appologize, just thought id let ya know

  • @Gunfresh It's based off of the first three games, not just Silent Hill 1. It MOSTLY takes from Silent Hill 1, but other concepts and characters came from 2 and 3, like Pyramid Head (first appearance: SH 2). Harry was changed to Rose and made female, since the love of a mother is supposedly better than the love of a father...bullshit if you ask me, but whatever...

  • err.. can i get some subtitles?

  • Look at me, I'm burning.

  • One of the best videogame movies ever made. Usually videogame movies have a curse of being terrible. What i love about this movie is the creatures. Kudos to the man who played Pyramid Head.

  • 0:14 whats the name of the song? please... i love it!!

  • they mixed in the 5th game the bathroom dissolving scene

  • @animefan0258 more like the fifth game mixed it in from the movie

  • I'm dissapointed that pyramid head didn't have a bigger role

  • hmmm all this directors miss one big thing about silent hill games....its the most annoying puzzle game on the planet xD but ye i still love the series

  • @VampireBaru, now to me this game doesnt scream its japanese, theres very little elements that suggest it is, fatal frame on the other hand u can tell has japanese culture mixed in it, also whats with the 'suitable for western audiences'? Does that mean theyre too dumb to understand whats going on? XD

  • @20579329 Actually the game was designed with an American background rather than Japanese. However, there are still Japanese concepts. The very base fears in this are designed from a Japanese perspective, though you wouldn't be able to see it unless you knew the Japanese culture and superstitions ;). Some concepts elude American culture, so in the movie they changed it to a more American backdrop. Fun fact, the games had a basis from movies such as Jacob's Ladder :).

  • I love the the Pyramid head moves. Fantastic Job.

  • @c1cssource I heard he had to wear 15 inch heels to get that tall. That must have SUCKED if he tripped ^-^ Oh god, that's a horrible yet hilarious mental image...

  • @DawnOakley13 Could you imagine walking down Silent hill and suddenly seeing Pyramid head walking towards you like he usual does...and then suddenly falls overly, squealing like a girl as his shins grind against the pavements. Then looks up to you with red marks indicating a blush over his pyramid helmet.

  • @c1cssource AHAHAHA!I just laughed so hard I chocked on my lemonade XD

    That would be something to see!

  • If there is one Director I would love to do a film on the "Fatal frame/Project Zero" games, it would be Christophe Gans!

  • Hate to do this, but...

    does the music from 00:14-00:30 have a name???

    sorry for my english I'm from (insert name of some 3rd world country) XD

    Yeah, I hate reading comments like this too.
