Silent Hill (2006)
Human imagination & parallel world!
I've been waiting 7 years for SH the movie. The film almost succeed, but was not able to create true FEAR. But, it's difficult to do so when you are not playing the game; & when your leading actress is not able to deliver all the goods. Who's to blame? Christophe Gans!!... Sean Bean is a better actor, why does he have to play a supporting role? Harry Mason was right there under our eyes... the Director should have kept us under constant fear and uncertainty: we don't have to understand everything to appreciate a film.
The reconstruction of the ENVIRONNEMENT is excellent; the Editing is very good; the acting is acceptable (par la peau des fesses...) Not enough BLOOD, VIOLENCE and CONFUSION. Radha was supposed to make a CARNAGE and an INFERNAL MASSACRE before she find her peace of mind or something else...(@*^&%^666_#^&_... ) Thanks to Roger Avary for helping Gans. Thanks to Keiichiro Toyama(Director/Creator) & Akira Yamaoka(amazing musique)! and all the team behind Silent Hill in Japan. Thanks to Jacobs' Ladder & Village of the Damned.
Thanks to the Fans, because without you There's no SH2, SH3, SH4, SH5 and MOVIE. Thanks to the human imagination!(God BLESSE you!!!..:) and long life 4 Pyramid Head!!! ;)
Silent Hill (1999)
Excellent Trip or Bad Trip!... & Hellish Nightmare!
In 1999, i played SILENT HILL.
I putted the game in the PS, and, like i did for every movie, i closed the light... I was alone.
The Intro was outstanding and amazing. Then I started to play; after a few minutes i ended-up in a alley... I lived the most memorable sequence played in a video game so far. When Harry Mason wakes up, i pressed the Start Button (Pause). I opened up the light in my living room, i was frightened and disturbed: OOOHH! I love that feeling!!! SILENT HILL is addictive! I got addicted, and like any drugs, you'll experience a Excellent Trip or Bad Trip... & Hellish Nightmare! I went to the bathroom (call of nature); drank a glass of water; then i closed the light again... to the Otherworld...
SILENT HILL is a Masterpiece and a breakthrough not only in Horror but in the gaming world. Like ICO is to beauty and Light.
The Atmosphere is astonishing and creeps you out. The Music play with your visceral emotion with virtuosity.
The Story is very good, the characters are interesting, specially Dahlia Gilepsie. The game play and Graphics may not be the best, but sometimes, the camera movements are amazing and destabilizing. The shadow and the Fog enhance the element of Fear, you know there's something around you.
There's no problem with the Ending... And one of the many reasons SILENT HILL is a masterpiece is because for once, the game play with your mind & force you to Use it...
Go and experience it... if you dare...
