Now this KONAMI company’s classic game has been put on the big screen, and the Collector’s DVD will also be released soon.
The horror of SH is a repressive horror, and the film has a good interpretation of this point. The storyline is basically based on SH1, but the props, scenes, costumes and even some detailed cutscenes are all borrowed from the later SH2.3.4, especially the many bloody shots of SH3 are truly restored. Including Rose's clothing and weapons in the movie are borrowed from the clothing of Heather's return to Silent Hill in SH3.
I personally appreciate the triangle head and zombie nurse in the film. On the one hand, these two shapes are classic character shapes in SH games. In addition, these two characters have a deep connection with the storyline. (The triangular head is the image of an executioner in Silent Hill Town in ancient times. In the world controlled by Alyssa, he is also a retaliation tool to punish evil forces. I believe players will never forget that in SH2, the protagonist singled out in order to protect Maria. The scene of two triangle heads, haha. And the nurse, it is the kind nurse, whose name has been forgotten, protected Alisa’s little daughter, and has been taking care of Alisa who was severely burned, although the nurse is also curiosity. Cursed by Alyssa, hey~~Thinking of this plot makes people feel like a knife, hatred.)
A concept that has always been implemented in the Silent Hill game is sin and inner reflection, the search for an answer, the root of sin Where did it come from? Perhaps this is why SH2 is highly respected by the game industry, although it seems to be out of the main line in the story (SH games have such a tradition, the singular number is consistent with the main line of the story, and the even number is the extension of the inner thoughts. It is said that it has also adopted Two different development teams, haha) But they pushed the connotation of SH to the peak: the kindness, faith and innocence in people's hearts are often the root of evil, and the world is controlled by the two worlds on the outside and on the inside. When this answer was pursued, the story seemed to have ended, but it seemed to be the beginning of the next cycle.
The ending of the film is slightly different from the game. I personally think that a Hollywood routine is adopted. This routine has been used many times in the sixth sense, Kojima Cry, and other movies. Although it is a bit old-fashioned, it is not very relevant to the storyline. Those who understand and are not familiar with Hollywood tricks will still be confused.
Finally, I really like the way of expressing the world on the surface and the world on the inside. Maybe this is the real form of existence in this world. In addition, the lens of the triangle head stripping the clothes and then the human skin went through Changhong in one go. It made me excited, let's have another one!
