Terrible teaser and is that supposed to be James? Why the fuck wouldn't they cast Luke Roberts

Besides the mist and sign Silent Hill, this looks nothing like the game, least of all the protagonist. Wtf is this shit, a hump train of 10 nurses?

Ive never understood this about these adaptations. If you want to make a movie based on the game and include the characters from said game, WHY are you changing what they look like? James looks nothing like James at all. That shitty recent Resident Evil movie was bad enough for doing that.

As cool as it would've been, Harry didn't exist in the first movie, so that was a pretty significant change. Just swapped him with Rose. Along with some other changes and adjustments.

Changes should be expected, especially after the first film. Could still be okay though, but we'll see...

It looks so, so cheap. Terrible CGI.

And I already hate this James lol

Not due to his look or anything, but his acting just from these tidbits were ... something

The teaser was bad but ey, this movie is made by the same director who did the first one - and that one was one of the best videogame adaptation.
And that people that cut the trailers are not the same ones that make the movies.
 
I really liked the first movie (by the same director), but it seems that 90% of the industry has forgotten how to competently shoot movies since then. This looks like a glorified fan made film, there's something really cheap about it.

In addition to poor production values, they've probably gone overboard with their reliance on cgi, we've gotten worse at merging cg with live action and then on top of that it's shot digitally which is far less forgiving.

The original looks real nice on 35mm and looks like it was lit, lensed and framed by professionals. It looked like a movie.

After inflation adjustments the original movie had ~twice the budget too.
