A woman desperate to save her dying child finds herself trapped in an alternate reality as she searches for her daughter in a dangerous world of demons.
Rose cannot accept the knowledge that her daughter Sharon is dying of a fatal disease. Over the protests of her husband, she flees with her child, intending to take the girl to a faith healer. On the way, she ends up driving through a portal in reality, which takes her to the eerie and deserted town of Silent Hill.
Sharon disappears in Silent Hill, and Rose follows what she thinks is her daughter’s silhouette all over town. It’s soon clear the town is not like any place she’s ever been. It’s inhabited by a variety of creatures and a living darkness that descends and literally transforms everything it touches. The human inhabitants—the ones who are left—are trapped and fighting a losing battle against the Darkness.
Joined by a cop named Cybil, who has been sent to bring her and Sharon back, Rose searches for her little girl while learning the history of Silent Hill and that Sharon is just a pawn in a larger game.
To save her daughter, Sharon makes a deal with a demon in the form of a little girl, and allows the forces of darkness to take the town

and destroy those who tried to destroy the demon. In the end, she saves her daughter but at a high price.

well guess this movie will suck!

What a rip-off of Silent Hill 1 lol.

 

[Drexon]

Aw, can't you atleast spoiler the ending?

Spoiler

with the demon girl and all.

I guess the plus is that unlike other game to movie franchises they aren't going to stray away from what the series is about. They've even got Yamaoka doing the music.

Cool. I may even watch it although it doesn't happen often that I watch movies. I only played Silent Hill to the half (I'm still playing it), but a movie with its athmosphere could be faboloso.

I hope this movie turn out well. After the abysmal SH4 my interest in the serie pretty much died... all hopes is up for this and possibly SH5 on PS3.

They've even got Yamaoka doing the music.

I will definately watch it now

I was hoping the story would be based around a male character.
Also I'm hoping it's a slow-moving movie that focuses on character development rather than cheap scares.

The director seems like a real fan. I've seen some reactions about the screenwriter on his website (which I do not remember), it's just hilarious. :lol

What a rip-off of Silent Hill 1 lol.

How is that a bad thing? Sure they should have just used the direct plot from SH1, but either way it has the capability of being a great story.. at least we know the game version was....

 

[sefskillz]

Christopher Gans + Roger Avary = You better watch this movie

 

[Deleted member 4784]

I think that it's a good thing the movie is being inspired by the first game, but I don't understand why they had to change Harry into a "Rose"...

 

[kumanoki]

All I want to know is, who's doing the set design?

 

[mrroboto]

can't wait for this one!

i heard gans wants to use the actual konami sound/music team for the movie's music!

this movie could be creepy if he does it right.

 

[teiresias]

Word is that the latest revision of the script uses the dog ending from SH2.

 

[FightyF]

Awesome.

I'm sold!
