The film is based on the classic horror action-adventure game of the same name and is directed by Christopher Gans, who is recognized as a game-adapted movie fan.
In order to give movie fans a completely different experience, in the selection of actors, director Christopher Gans deliberately avoided Hollywood's usual big-name celebrity style, and instead chose independent film actors whose acting skills can change with subtle changes, including heroines. Radha Mitchell, and the character actor Sean Bing who has always had a new work recently.
As a diehard game player, Christopher Gans has the ability to interpret the relationship between games and movies more convincingly. Therefore, Gans edited the game plots and movie clips into drafts and sent them to the game dealer Konami. Konami immediately decided after seeing it: the director is none other than him. Gans then told his close friend Roger Avery about the idea of bringing the game of the same name to the screen, and invited him to be a screenwriter. Ivory is a loyal game fan of the "Silent Hill" series. Ivory understands the key to the success or failure of such movies, and recreates the main plot of the game to make its structure and language more in line with the film's expression methods. A large part of the plot in "Silent Hill" is advancing in a maze of silence. Avery also changed his "talking" nature, using large spaces and concise dialogues that are full of tension, in line with Gans's understanding of environmental language. Mobilization, through layers of causality, promotes the development of the story and promotes the psychological and environmental interaction between the characters and the audience, and transforms the passive and imposed film background into a plot that the characters on and off the screen actively explore together, creating an unprecedented narrative feature of this kind of film.
