Ghost Town
(5 votes, average: 4 out of 5)
Loading ...I’ll admit, I was scared to death by the movie Silent Hill. I loved the West Virginia ghost town scenery, and was terrified by the textures alone. You can’t beat that scene in the bathroom, at least from a special effects standpoint.
I heard someone in the theater actually say, “Well that was a waste of money”, and I didn’t feel the same. Immediately I tried to understand why they thought Silent Hill was bad.
I figured it was because I have never played the Silent Hill video games before, which means I don’t know how the story is supposed to go. I’ve decided to give them a try, though I might need a group of friends to console me while I play it, I hear they’re really scary.
Did anyone else enjoy the movie?
Because I love my fans, here is a movie of Christopher Walken cooking a chicken… Purely with the heat of intimidation:

I thought the movie watched like a video game. At least the first Silent Hill, I assume there are more. The mom would complete a level and then you could take a deep breath and then there was another level until she went to the deepest pit of hell. Yea it was scary, but I didn’t think it was a waste of money.

I’m originally from rural WV. It’s exactly like that. Except with less pavement and literacy.

That chicken … you know what it needs? … anyone? anyone?

I think the best part of Christopher Walken Cooking is thats really how you’d like to cook. I imagine you’d like to make Chicken and Pears for me someday. Yea… just like Martha would!

You’re right dear wifey, if Christopher Walken can do it like that, there’s hope for me yet. I like how he used the butts as pear stands, which became pear cookies.

I have really been wanting to see Silent Hill because I have played the games and the previews looked enticing…but then I heard it sucked so I said forget it…But because of you maybe I’ll take a risk…however if it does suck it’s your head I’m comin’ after lol
BTW, see Hannibal Rising. Oh my god…

Bagel is from WVA? Really?
Hey Bagel - what you call 32 West Virginians?
A full set of teeth - haHA!

oh snap! Bagel, you gonna let her say that to you?
I dunno stiletto, I heard Hannibal Rising wasn’t that great, from a very reliable horror connoisseur. Before you see Silent Hill ask yourself if it’s worth killing an up and coming comic artist over a rental movie. This goes especially if you download it for free.
on second thought, don’t ask yourself that. It might only encourage you more.

The only problem I had with Silent Hill was that when there was violence it was VIOLENT. There has been so much pornographizing of violence in the past few years that I’ve been having a harder and harder time stomaching any violence at all. Especially after seeing images from Iraq and our detention centers. This stuff (not Silent Hill stuff, but violence in general) isn’t just in movies. It’s real.
And so, while Silent Hill was terrific in the thriller genre, it still made me sick to my stomach.

Uh, yeah, the movie was total crap. When comparing it to the games, it is an abomination against God and all she stands for (lolol i made a funny) and every theatre that ever even had a ghost of a thought of showing it there should be “cleansed by fire”. But that’s just me.
On its own, it was still crap. The story didn’t add up, the characters were barely even two-dimensional, the way it watched was ridiculous. However, the sets and monsters were excellently done; they get so many points for lack of CG. Still makes me want to rip my own eyes out, though.

I gotta say then that I was drooling over it the entire time… and then I watched it a couple more times. Then again, I played the games in the dark by myself so I’m more morbidly attached to the entire thing, even Akira Yamaoka’s awesome music. But I have to say it was very well done, and the story does add up. If there were any 2-dimensional characters it was Cybil, but that more or less fits her character and *spoiler* she gets burned anyway.

alright, finally a fan! How do the games compare to the resident evil games? I played the first one straight through and loved it way back when.
btw, glad to see you’re updating your comic at least a little more frequently

I played all the games and the first one is the gorriest but the movie on the other hand was very disturbing but must play the games they are better in my opinion they tell more and are more understanding.
