Pure storytelling.

Horror films in Europe and America have three characteristics:
First, a woman must face all kinds of fears.
Second, there must be a person who was disfigured to the point of being unsightly, or who was burned, slashed and drowned.
Third, it will definitely have something to do with religion.
So, I have never been afraid to watch European and American horror films. When I watched this typical European and American horror film "Silent Hill" the day before yesterday, it was completely different from watching "The Grudge" or something. From beginning to end, I didn't open my eyes very much. Yes, but also frightened shit.

To put it simply, it was a mother Ruth who could not bear to see that her child, Sarah, was going to be locked in the hospital because of severe mental symptoms. Sarah was adopted by her, but she loved her so much that she decided to take the child. Go to Silent Hill, the birthplace of the child, to find a solution.
Silent Hill is a mysterious place, and everyone in the film is full of fear and disgust for this place, as if trying to hide a big secret.
So, this great mother will go to reveal the truth and give her life for it. (In the end, I researched for a long time, and finally determined that she was dead.)

Her child was adopted, and Sarah's biological mother was burned at the stake by Silent Hill's so-called "purity and innocence" for her fatherless belief. (I think it's a nonsense here, and it's too messy. No father means she is a witch. It's unreasonable. It should be Alisha's mother who was burned. This place is really a failure, It gives people the feeling of anticlimactic.) But Alyssa was not burned to death, but became a mummified vegetative person. At this time, her powerful resentment broke out, and she transformed into a beautiful little girl, with Ruth. A deal is made to get her back to Sarah, but she is asked to help her get revenge. (Okay, this place is really familiar. Gayako also suffered injustice and cruel abuse during her lifetime. After her death, her resentment erupted and she kept killing life.)

Of course Ruth went, and the head of the faith organization was stabbed in anger after scolding the head of the faith organization. Therefore, Alisha's resentment flowed out of Ruth's body and corroded the whole room where the burning was carried out. Alyssa rose to the sky with countless vines, and the vines hanged all those who participated in the burning of Alyssa, except for Alyssa's mother. Because "the mother is God in the eyes of the child".

Still kinda nice. That kind of suspense from beginning to end is very well set up, and it tickles people's appetite. The picture, the impact can only be said to be good. Compared with the original game, people who have played it say it is inferior.

The girls who played Sarah and Alyssa when they were kids are so cute
