What is /v/'s opinion on the Silent Hill movie?

Not great, it was a pretty poor adaptation aside from the visuals
The director had good intentions tho

>>382161075
haven't seen it, knew a girl who was an extra in it when she was young.

complete and utter fucking trash that totally misses the point of the games. (1,2, and 3 not those shit bastardized western developed SH games)

>>382161075
The very beginning, with Sharon sleepwalking, is horribly acted. After that the movie is actually pretty good up until they enter the church, where it becomes terrible. It never recovers after that. It has a couple of great scenes (the alley scene is damn near perfect) but the botched second half ruins the movie.

It's still far, far better than Revelations.

It's wicked

shite

It's far from perfect but an acceptable afford
Wish to see more experimentation like this in the future but with what we know about monster hunter movie maybe it's best to leave it like that

It's alright. I was expecting it to be a lot worse.

First one is okay, forgettable, but does a decent job. Rest are trash.

It's actually among the best horror movies for me

>>382161075
Great poster

Movie should have tried to depict the atmosphere of a game not be a normie retelling of events with fog. Only good video game movies were those that focused on the atmosphere a certain game can bring. Like Street Fighter movie with terminally ill Raul Julia or Sandler Shadow of the Colossus flick.

>>382162236
This.

Do you guys like Homecoming? It has some of the best enemy designs in the series, and only casuals complain about the combat.

Visually, still amazing.
It has some parts that were fucked due to Konami meddling.
All the scenes with the husband were inserted due to Konami complaining there wasn't enough male presence in the movie.
I wanted to fuck Cybil so bad.

Still up there with some of the greatest vidya adaptations though.

It's one of the better western games IMO. The story was crap but it did a good job with atmosphere and the original enemy designs (not taken from the movie) were good except for the stupid order members. It doesn't compare with the first four games but I didn't hate it.

>>382162736
I really loved the designs for homecoming. The story was garbage, but the bosses and monsters were top notch.

It was a pretty good movie overall. Actually it's not even bad as an adaptation, just kinda poor in some aspects, but you can watch it as just a movie without knowing any SH background and enjoy it.

The ending was brutal though. Holy fuck.

>>382161075

>>382162736
>>382163321
My problem with the combat is that the enemies weren't near strong enough to compensate for your abilities. That one knife combo could wreck everything in the game.

>>382162736
The problem with Homecoming is that it doesn't feel scary and the atmosphere just isn't there. I don't know what it is about it, but I just ran through the game half bored to death because I wasn't spooked at all so it basically felt like a mediocre TPS. In contrast I still haven't finished SH2 because the hospital spooked the shit out of me.

>>382163924
Nigga. The apartments, cemetery, church, and hell descent were all dripping with atmosphere. It wasn't comparable to 1-3 but it was still pretty well done considering.

Accept that the Western games have their positive aspects.

Downpour has an interesting story, and its Silent Hill is fun to explore. Neat little sidequests, too.

>>382161075

I think most people will say it's alright as it's own thing. But the mixing and mashing of monster types as well as completely changing the characters and plot made it have little to do with the games.

I'm going to be honest here and say it at loud

Not even SH fans know what the fuck SH is about precisely, so no adaptation can be made unless it's all about ambience and ambiguity

SH fans are the original Dark Souls lore fans that made wikis filled with fan fucktion connecting the most far fetched ideas around the tidbits and pieces scattered together of the fabled SH Team that never existed as Konami said. They were just games programmed by familiar themes and a consistent ambience and visual design. Each story is self contained and never expand much on what the fuck is going on at Silent Hill. I've read the most retarded stupidities in forums and here on /v/ that could make Vaati blush. So as far as working project goes, the movie was pretty good even by SH standards.

And I do love 2 and 3 so much.

>>382162736
What the fuck, are you implying that the game had hard combat sections or something?

>>382164534
You poor poor r-tard

>>382161075
It plays fast and loose with the story and changes things but overall it's okay.

Which makes it one of the best vidya movies next to Mortal Kombat.

The police station is pretty tough if you don't have your combos down. Also, The Order members are the same if you don't use firearms.

Video game stories are retarded

That's why it's hard to make good movies out of them. It works as an ambience and background to the GAMEPLAY but beyond that they're trashy, just look at Warcraft the Movie: received by normies as generic bland boring shit.

That being said Silent Hill the movie is a good movie on its own but plays as an homage to the games. It has some bad pacing and really strange and bizarre cuts that make me think studio meddling here and there but it turns out ok.

>>382165038
Just rewatched it a couple of weeks ago. It holds up very well.

>>382161075
First two times I saw it I liked it. Then I did a little more reflection on it year later and came to the realization that it wasn't really that good.

Silent Hill works as a game due to mechanics like the radio and the flashlight. Harder to convey that in a movie. It was long and pretty boring. I like buff Pyramid Head though.

Some of the best in the series? They are alright, not " best", not subtle at all. And the combat is utter shite man, do you even play games?

>>382161075
Best vidya movie.

>>382167562
It implies that the combat isn't bad, which is what casuals always say.

>>382167594
Case in point.

Scarlet and Amnion are fantastic as far as their designs. The latter is my favorite boss in the series because it genuinely scares me. The basic enemies are pretty varied and aren't generic, like most of Downpour's, which is enough for me.

>>382161075
Story was meh compared to the games but it is hard to deny that the visual aesthetic and general atmosphere weren't spot on. Guess that is what happens when your director is actually passionate about what they are doing and actually played the games. Also I think Jeff Dana's work on remaking Akira's music was also spot on.

>>382168131
The combat is bad though. You just press knife to win and then swap out for you gun when you need it and again you haven given any reasons as to why?

>>382168131
>Case in point.
???
You're implying that this game has hard combat, which is a complete lie, games with hard combat are Ninja Gaiden, Godhand, DMC in DMD mode, the Souls games etc. In this game you wreck shit if you pick up the knife and aren't retarded and know how to roll, how is it good? It doesn't have depth and you kill everything the same way.

>>382168502
The combat requires some memorization of combos and enemy attack patterns. It's not just brain dead whacking like in 1 - 4.

No you're not, the knife is the best weapon in the game and downs everything in seconds, its harder to actually fight multiple enemies with a slower weapon than with the knife, which is overpowered as fuck, you just do light light light heavy xN until you win the game, there is no thought put into it, the game's mechanic are shallow, the enemy AI is trash.

Kek.
Sure, it's the best combat in the series, but that's not saying much. Besides SH was NEVER about the combat, since you know, it's supposed to be a survival horror? In Homecoming even that's lost since you're an invincible super soldier who doesn't need to do item management at all, which is one of the cornerstones of survival horror, and this is why it's one of the worst in the series.

>>382170081

>>382170153
Are you pretending to be retarded?

>>382170407
>Are you pretending to be retarded?
It depends, are you?

>>382170407
How about I don't use the gun at all since it's not needed with the knife? Dude you could argue that the combat is anything but hard, homecoming isn't a hard game if you aren't braindead. If you fight multiple enemies just lure one away from the rest and destroy it with the knife.
Anyways I'm not giving you any more (you)s after this, your argument is "the combat isn't as bad as the rest" and somewhat think that makes it good.

>>382170159
The combat in the others is serviceable for games that doesn't focus on combat mechanics, it's there just so you interact with enemies and lose health and ammo, action mechanics work actively against the game's atmosphere.

If you watch it with the mindset that all vidya movies are shit, you'll end up surprised and maybe even like it.

It's like a polished turd.

Homecoming < 1-4 and Shattered Memories

Homecoming > Origins and Downpour

It was an okay action horror game and on par with something like TEW. It got the Silent Hill aesthetics down but the focus on combat made it feel like it was from a different series. Combat itself would have been okay if the knife weren't broken. Nothing particularly good but not bad either.

>>382170736
That, and it's pretty good for a horror game.

>lure one away

>>382170789

>>382161075
First one is alright. It has good atmosphere and some cool visuals with the transition to the dark world and whatnot. As far as video game adaptations go, I suppose it's one of the better ones.

The second one is legitimately one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Scenes contradict one another, the editing is sloppy, lots of scenes that go absolutely nowhere, nonsenical plot that just takes random shit from SH1 and 3 and smashes it all together, and some CGI that looks straight out of 1992. There honestly isn't a single redeeming factor to this movie. It simply should not exist.

To be fair Harry never should have been replaced with Rose in the first place, and the reason Gans gave was hilariously idiotic.

It could've been better but it was leagues better than Revelations. At least the director attempted to be faithful to the games even if it got some things jumbled up. Studio execs should've kept that mouths shut though, the scenes involving the male characters were pretty pointless.

The only good scene in that shitshow Revelations was That crazy guy in the bus with the teddy bear. Prove me wrong.

Occasionally I re-watch it.

The first part was great when it tried to actually try to bring a video game into a movie. After the school, it goes downhill from there and the last 30 minutes was a hilarious clusterfuck.

I saw it before I played the games and liked it then. Now that I've played the games I'm afraid to go back and watch it because I know there are a lot of inconsistencies.

>>382161075

Dude this. Everything up to that point was fucking top, second half was fairly lackluster. If you watch it as some sort of love letter to the games, it comes off okay. Really shitty adaptation, but it has some 10/10 parts.
