I still can't get over that Silent Hill was the franchise Sean Bean ended up surviving in.

Very interesting fact: The nurses in the first Silent Hill film were played by professional dancers, which is why they were able to stay uncannily still, like mannequins, and then contort their bodies in such creepy ways. Years ago I actually had the privilege to meet one of the dancers that was on the movie set when I was at Comic Con in Manhattan, NY. The woman didn’t have her own “Meet & Greet” set up, or anything like that, she was just someone I struck up a long conversation with and she told the story about her playing one of the nurses in the film. According to her, she was a ballet dancer since she was a child and it had taken her years to learn how to move her body in such “Artistic” ways. She was a fascinating person, I wish I remembered her name.

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who enjoys the first silent hill movie. I'M NOT INSANE!

When the first Silent Hill movie came out, my bf at the time and I walked up to the theater, which wasn't too far from my house, to watch it. I liked it and thought it was pretty creepy. But one thing that always stuck with me was that by the time the movie had ended it had gotten quite dark outside, and we ended up walking back to my house which took us past this eerily quiet, foggy stretch of road with a lot of trees off to the side. And I remember being genuinely creeped out during that walk home which normally doesn't happen to me after watching a horror movie. So I give it a 👍

The first movie was honestly one of the best video game adaptations really. Though the story may not be translated the best but the camera work, atmosphere, music and even costume design was so on point

The first movie was the first horror film I’ve ever watched in my entire life and it scarred me like I couldn’t sleep for days. I was terrified and I still haven’t managed to watch this movie again

The skin ripping scene is brutal and disgusting… I *love* it 😂

i still think that the scene where Alessas rises from Hell iniside the Church is one of the most badass movies scenes i've ever seen

The siren signaling the change from fog world to nightmare world is one of the creepiest and most iconic horror movie moments.

Out of all of them the first one was clearly made out of passion and knew most of the underlying themes of what silent hill is plus the Saun bean scenes weren’t originally in the movie but the studio forced the director (who fun fact made a video to Konami who were reluctant on the idea on why he would be the perfect director for it) because they wanted more scenes with him

"Everyone had Canadian accents" That is a great choice considering it's a horror movie.

The scene with Colin the Janitor is hands down the freakiest part of that whole movie.

Even if the First Silent Hill movie isn't a masterpiece, it was a real fan who put real care into the movie and gave people what they wanted. A movie fans can appreciate and really that's all that matters in the end of the day. It's not perfect, but it has care. Thats more then I can say for other video game movies.

Apparently the director of the second film also was a huge film of silent hill and wanted it as close to the games as possible but the studio wanted all these bizarre changes. Kind of sad because she said she feels so ashamed of the movie and the fans of SH and the first movie discourage her from continuing to be a fan.

I always thought it was quite weird that the reaction to your adopted daughters nightmares about a place would be to bring her there to look for answers, and yes it's even weirder that she runs from the cop like she'd just robbed a bank.

“I just think it’s more realistic if it’s a mother rescuing her child instead of a dad” that SCREAMS daddy issues lmao

The first film helped me sneak past a group of nurses in Silent Hill Homecoming. I didn't realize they detected both light and sound. After watching the film I shrugged and turned off my radio. It worked 😅

I think the first movie is a great example of how a film can "stick to the original" while not having to be a one-to-one translation. It proves that changes *can* be made and still lead to an essentially faithful adaptation.

I think the deadly flaw of Revelation is that while the first movie tried to make a different story using elements from the first game, kinda like a retelling, the second movie tried being more like the game and that just made MASSIVE retcons that make it not hold up as a sequel

The first movie was filmed in a city near where I grew up and it was already so run down that they barely had to alter the downtown area because it already looked like Silent Hill More than half of downtown has since been demolished because it was completely unsalvagable

I am so sad that Silent Hill has been done so wrong by so many developers, moviemakers, studios, everyone. It's such a brilliantly scary, original story and it really deserves to be told well.

Whether it was a game adaptation or not, the first was an incredible horror film PERIOD

The first one was a genuinely eerie & unforgettable experience... People ragged on it, then look what we got.

13:35 Alright, didn't expect that. Had a little giggle.

I swear some of those random meme edits thrown through out your videos always catch me off guard and crack me up

What they did to Vincent in the second movie infuriates me. Vincent in the games is one of my favorite characters, he's super complex and really fits the series idea of shady bizarre characters. Through the whole game you have no clue what side he's really on and a lot of what he says is confusing and you don't know if he's telling the truth or just fucking with Heather. I also like how he does believe in the cults religion but he wants to use them to enjoy earthly pleasures, which is why he doesn't want God to be resurrected. But no why have that when you can have boring cardboard cutout. Also killing off Douglas at the beginning is just awful because he's also a very interesting and kind of sad character when you find out more about his life. Hell even Claudia is completely ruined because while she's a villian in 3 she's borderline sympathetic as she was indoctrinated into the cult against her will by her Father who also abused her. I could honestly go on for hours about my issues with Revelation it's just horrible. While I have my issues with the first movie like the SH2 monsters that shouldn't be there and the overreliance on gore it at least feels like it was trying to keep the feeling of the games somewhat.

Out of all the horror movies I've seen, when it comes to sheer visually brutal deaths; dragging a screaming person up a stairwell, ripping their clothes off with one fell swoop leaving them screaming and exposed for a few seconds, then proceeding to rip most of their skin off with one hand and flinging it against church doors is one of the most brutal death scenes ever.

The building that was used for the school scenes was eventually turned into condos. My wife and I moved into one of those apartments; we watched Silent Hill and it freaked my wife out for months that we lived in a “haunted building”.

These movies pulled off the greatest plot twist of all time... Sean Bean survived not one, but TWO movies!

Silent hill has to be the most scariest worlds I've ever been introduced to. Understanding the world more than I did when I was younger makes it more terrifying

I actually really like the first Silent Hill movie. Sure it wasn't an exact copy of the source material but honestly it easily felt like a Silent Hill film. Probably one the best game to movie adaptations I've seen imo.

Still love the first movie to this day, second one is embarrassing. I can’t handle that fight at the end. I’m glad Gans is back in the directors chair for SH2.

For the record, most 3D movies of this era look goofy, but watching the effect in theaters you didn’t notice because IT WAS COMING RIGHT AT YOU!

The silent hill movies were actually filmed in my home town. It's weird going back and visiting and seeing the exact streets and places the movie was filmed. But also I get to tell people I technically grew up in silent hill lol. I will say I enjoyed the first movie a lot more, it was very close to the actual games and i wish the second movie was more like the first one

I've noticed that there're a lot of different opinions about first SH movie, but I'm pretty sure it's very good. Maybe it has its flaws (like almost everything), but, as far as I'm concerned, it has many good things. My favorite is that it has a dark story that not only scares you because of its monsters and images in general, but also because it makes you feel like the movie is actually deep topics like hate, sexual abuse, suffering and how it turns a complete craziness

I never understood why the first movie got so much hate, it's honest to god one of my favorite movies I always have such a fun time rewatching it man

The First Silent Hill and Resident Evil movies are absolute bangers

I actually liked the first one, pretty damn scary...makes every fire alarm feel different for a while...😅

The scene where Rose is standing in front of Alessa and the barbed wire, with the eerie music and flashlights dancing across Rose's face, is a perfect shot.

One good thing about these movies is you can tell the director plays the game. Because a'lot of the iconic scenes in the movie happened in the game too. Which is a big ask compared to other video game adaptation.

"Finally a worthy opponent. Our battle shall be legendary!" - Resident Evil

The director of the first Silent Hill movie is the one who is going to make the adaptation of Silent Hill 2. We can only hope. When Heather in the second film said "Silent Hill was built on a Native American burial ground" is when i absolutely lost it

I remember watching the special features for the first movie and they tried hard to keep it as close to the games as possible like music, monsters etc

I would absolutely suggest to look up the practical effects for the grey child because the cgi almost completely covered up how actually good the body suit looks, like the other practical effects it’s extremely well executed under all those layers of computer gunk

I learned something new today. Namely, Elvis sayings "drawring" instead of "drawing".

You can really feel the passion and effort put into the first movie

I legitimately love the Silent Hill movie, I love the behind the scene stuff (The little girl who played Alessa told the direction she always wanted to play the devil lol which helped her get the role!), I do not get a flying FUCK about Pyramid Head showing up and he's basically the mascot of Silent Hill now and I'm here for it. My favorite on-set detail was that the actor playing Pyramid Head wasn't allowed to wear underwear in case his butt was caught on camera and everyone would giggle about his tush being out. This movie was brutal and I was astonished at how hard it went! Is it a perfect movie? No. But honestly, I love it dearly.

in the first movie the creatures arent summoned with a siren, the siren is activated by the trapped locals as a warning that they are coming :)

The first one is amazing to me, it's one of the very few good horror game movies, it captures the games' atmosphere perfectly. The second one it's Uwe Boll style, which if you know what that means, you understand what I'm saying.

I love how as soon as Elvis posted this video the comment section basically became a brotherhood of people reminiscing about their first scary horror movies/games. It's so cool how people can come together over the same franchise from such radically different entry points like the games and the movies.

I loved the first movie. You can tell with the set and character design that they really had a lot of love for silent hill. I like how they made their own stand alone story that went with it. I always took it as the church people were trapped souls who probably thought god kept them alive idk. "Hey if we pray enough we will finally go to cloud land!" The second movie doesn't exist. Love all the weird clips and editing to make it look like there was a second movie, good job on that. Almost got me!

The first silent hill is propably my all time favourite horror movie. Scarred me for life, especially the bathroom scene😂😂. I was about 9 or 10 when i watched it the first time, for sure too young but curiosity killed me lol. I also remember hating the ending cause i didnt understand it, overall a pretty fucking good movie.

I loved the first movie for all its flaws it's a classic and it has some genuinely creative adaptions of the original game, but the Second movie it's just so bad, the only good thing is the final fight.

I have two recommendations for you! Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector - funny for all the wrong reasons. And Casper’s Haunted Christmas. This movie is literally rendered with glitches. It’s incredible.

i always had an afinity for the first movie when i was a teen. The siren reality change is the most accurate description of schitzo effective phsyiotic breaks that i suffered from in my late teens. Thank god i grew out of them but it was always hard to describe them to people but when the siren goes off its pretty much acurate to them.

I just watched Silent Hill again recently (saw it originally in theaters), and I thought it was much better than I remembered. It had a great atmosphere, excellent score, and was well directed and acted. I never played any of the Silent Hill games but still found the movie a fun watch. I didn't know the director of Solomon Kane (one of my personal favorites) directed Revelation, which I thought was just awful. She's set to direct the new Red Sonja movie..

I love the creatures in the movies, the first one had actual costumes. It was so good!

I actually really like SH1 movie even tho it has quite some flaws . Still I don't get why it has such low score , maybe people expected it to be a copy paste from first game. To me reimagining based on source material is far more interesting to see than watching something I already witnessed . Also that Pyramid head scene where it rips the skin is schocking , deffinetly the highlight of the movie.

The first movie got the main part of silent hill spot on; passing out at random moments

The 1st SH movie will always be (one of) my fav. horror film of 2000s; the movie is what introduced me to the original 4 games (developed by Team Silent) and the rest is history. If the 1st movie gave me nightmares for a few days, then played the games afterwards, just.... *i could NOT sleep* at all. The sequel, known as 'Revelation 3D', however...... We'll just NOT gonna talk about that 😑

The first one is what I'd call a carnival for Silent Hill fans. You go in to see things you recognize from the games, and to see some cool stuff from the games put to film. What you don't watch either of them for is an accurate adaptation, or a good horror movie

I remember watching the first movie with my mom as a kid. I always thought it was so much better than everyone gave it credit for. :)

Idk why Christophe Gans hated the characters of Silent Hill. Cause there was an article that had him say he used women in the film cause why would a man be scared of a giant pyramid head monster like BRUH who wouldn't be terrified of that?! But really his sexism helped give us wonderful characters in the film.

So if the monsters are summoned by a siren, and Pyramid Head is summoned, does that turn him into . . . Siren Head?

To this day, the first silent hill film in my opinion remains to be the best video game adaption ever made. They switched around the characters, themes, and story, sure, but that's what adaptations do. They nailed the atmosphere and no other horror movie has left such a lasting impression on me.

All I can say about Revelation is….. POPTART JUMP SCARE😂

This film is actually something of a masterpiece. A hidden gem. One of the best video game adaptations.

Part of the first Silent Hill movie was filmed in my tiny Canadian town! Thought that was the coolest shit when it happened lol

Me casually strolling through the tall grass and suddenly a wild Elvis appears

I always thought the implication was that everyone in the first movie was dead and Sharon (Along with Rose and the officer) died in the car crash and the whole journey took place in the afterlife which I find more poetic and ingenious than the simple explanation of "The Silent Hill dimension" because Silent Hill is supposed to be Alessa's personal hell for everybody and even Rose said to everyone who lives there "YOU'RE ALL DEAD!".

The first Silent Hill movie was what got me into the series in the first place. It was one of my first horror movies ever and i loved it.

I know the movies werent received well, but honestly, as a huge silent hill fan, I enjoyed seeing the mechanics and aesthetic of silent hill brought to life. Though the first one was by far better, it's hard for me to not like them somewhat. It's like the resident evil movies, both went their own ways with the story but the movies are fun enough on their own.

I loved the first movie, it gave me so many nightmares growing up 😂 pyramid head still freaks me out! I'm so glad I never wasted my time watching revelation!

the editing for that ad transition was so good

I still think the first movie is one of the best video game adaptations ever made. I will never understand the hate it gets.

Nah the first movie was my favourite. It was really good! I know it's not exactly accurate regarding the Silent Hill games lore, but as a movie It's one of the few horror movies that are dear to my heart.

Christophe Gans is making Slient Hill movie based on the best game in the franchise, which is Silent Hill 2. I've got huge hopes for this one, not gonna lie.

i love the way you slide ad into this video, almost made me buy the mattress

13:37 was the best transition and laughed instantly 😂

I'll always remember Silent Hill simply because a lot of the exterior shots were filmed in my city's downtown. Why? Because it was so dingy and run down, they barely had to do anything to make it suit the aestetic. 😆

i genuinely loved the first silent hill movie and the scene with pyramid head ripping off anna's skin still is absolutely insane. you can tell that a lot of love was put into the first movie compared to the second movie and i still find myself reading about every single little thing in every game and movies on tvtropes and the soundtrack is so fucking amazing. i am so happy that silent hill is making its comeback with a new game and a remake of 2 and this series will forever be one of my favourites

I absolutely love the Silent Hill series. When the first one came out I bought it and played through it at a friends house and the best thing was it was so foggy outside his house it felt like I was in the game. When the movie came out I watched it 5 times and that meant driving over an hour to get to the theater to watch it

So happy the original director is coming back for the new movie!

I thought Silent Hill was supposed to be like a personal Purgatory and that's why there were different Silent Hills and different monsters. People near the ones dragged into Silent Hill are sometimes taken as well because of situations. I have only recently started playing the games so I'm just going based on my knowledge from random different things

i really love the tiny details in the first movie, like im that part where pyramid head "spawns in" effect

Excellent analysis

I'm glad you didn't absolutely shit all over the first movie because it was one of the first horror movies I ever watched and it blew my mind, I still think it's one of the scariest game to movie adaptations ever

Even to this day I love the first movie, so many lil details, the monster really give you chills and the whole scenary is on point. The 2nd on the other hand💀, the girl from the matrix looks like one of the siblings from hellboy 2

omg. i watched both of these movies last night and today. the first one is fine because it gets the setting, atmosphere, and costume designs right

I cannot wait for the new movie return to silent hill!! It’ll have the same director as the first so I’m very excited!

Can we appreciate the camera work angles when Rose walks in the dark with the lighter? Straight up looks ripped out of the first game, bravo to the director

Also don't forget that the producer of the first movie is also actually working on a third SH movie based on the second game, planned for 2023. Considering that the first movie is one of the rare good movie adaptation of a game, can't wait to see it's release

also the making of feature for the first film is fascinating to watch too on how they brought all of these monsters and hellscapes to life

Your little edits are funny 😆 like Rose running backwards or running away after the cop shoots the creature 😂

i loved the first silent hill movie!! even knowing the games and such and seeing the discrepancies, i think it was a fun watch, and i re-watched it multiple times :)

As a silent hill fan I wasn't disappointed by the changes they made to the story in the first movie. I generally think that the first movie is a great horror movie and a (pretty) good video game adaptation. Let's just forget the they ever made a second movie. 😉

The first one is one of my absolute favourites LOVE it

It's weird how both Silent Hill and Resident Evil after all these years can't get a good movie or show

The first film is a perfectly fine horror film with some really amazing costumes/choreography/cinematography. The second is a drink till you fall down and laugh yourself to death cash grab.
