There are anticlimactic, but there are many game scenes reproduced, which are worth seeing

I thought that the second movie would tell the story of James and Mary in the game version of Silent Hill 2, just like the pace of the game, because I never thought that a horror movie shot in the United States would have a continuity of the story. But this is not the case. This film tells the story of Silent Hill 3. According to
the integrity of the story, it is correct, because Silent Hill 3 is the story that happened several years after Silent Hill 1.
The previous film (here refers to the first film) was criticized by everyone when it was released. People who know the Silent Hill game feel that the film has changed a lot in certain places. For example, in order to highlight the horror effect, the protagonist was changed from a man to a woman, and the heroine and daughter Xue Rou ended up Trapped in the world together. People who don't know the game just think it's a slightly obscure second-rate horror movie.
The plot design is very funny, many characters and scenes in the game have been reproduced, the protagonist Heather's vest, the bloody rabbit, and the evil body seen in the carousel in the playground, if you haven't played Silent Hill 3, you can Use this movie as a guide. There are also many original things in the play: the first heroine's appearance through a mirror (the mirror in the Silent Hill game often becomes a psychic medium) communicates with Heather's father (Harry, the protagonist of the Silent Hill 1 game) and informs the silence Ling is the place to end these things, just rounding up the ending of the first part. In the movie, Harry's body was not found dead on the sofa in the apartment, and the old detective Douglas died inexplicably after not appearing a few times. The assistant of the protagonist in the early stage became Vincent, one of the promoters of the resurrection of the evil god in the game.
Some classic monsters in the game appeared in the movie, such as the acid monster (the one that Heather saw in the school corridor in the movie), the puppet mercenary, the female nurse, the third brother (triangle head), the spider monster, the eyeless monster, the pattern Zhang Wei (I really don't know what to call it). However, the addition of monsters is too abrupt, especially the spider monsters. I feel that the addition of monsters is really stiff. The scope of activities of spider monsters is limited to the plastic model room, and the function is to increase the 3D effect of the movie and prove that the supporting characters who escaped with the protagonist can get it. dead truth. The sickle monster that Vincent's mother transformed into has never appeared in the game in my impression. It should be an original monster like the spider monster. It is a little regrettable that the most classic zombie dog in the game has not appeared.
The most classic part of this film is the true and false self-confrontation in the carousel, which basically reproduces the game plot, and the people watching are excited
. The final battle changed from the evil god to the sickle monster transformed by Vincent's mother VS the third brother (triangle head, often considered to be the protagonist himself in the Silent Hill world view), the fighting action is shoddy, and it feels like a group of action movie lovers. , a kind of anticlimactic feeling.
This film is also mixed with too much stereotyped American horror style, that is, the sudden horror when one feels that he is absolutely safe. Some American TV drama classic bad street plots, saving the world, great love, family affection, especially the love between the heroine and Vincent, were added for the sake of box office and pleasing the audience. The plot is not rigorous enough and there are too many loopholes. At the beginning of the film, how Xuerou in Harry's memory became the current Heather has not explained (Xuerou has brown hair, Heather has blond hair, theoretically a people, but they are actually two living beings), what did Douglas do, why did the person locked in the dungeon absorb the coat of arms and transform into a strange space, the heroine always walks behind her back, which is not in line with normal logic, etc. .
There is a lot of buried writing at the end of the film. Harry went to find his missing wife. On the way Heather and Vincent left, the two hit a ride, and the driver of the ride was the protagonist of Silent Hill: Origin, when the truck drove away Silent Hill and the fog reappeared as the police car drove towards Silent Hill, telling us that the story of Silent Hill will continue. . .

    Waited for 5 years is such a broken piece! ! ! He vomited blood, fell to the ground! ! I thought that all the strange things would come out, but this is what it is. . . It looks like a shoddy workmanship, five years? Bah, it only took 5 weeks! The logic of the plot is too confusing, and the acting is too bad to say! Not gloomy enough, not depressed enough, not desperate enough, and what is this actor going to do, every time I see Uncle Dou and Jonghyun, the winter is coming in my mind
