badass movie quotes - sometimes funny - sometimes dirty - sometimes violent - sometimes creepy - rarely epic Silent Hill is a 2006 Canadian-French horror film by French director Christophe Gans, based on the Konami video game of the same name. 165 film sets and locations were used for the filming. Producers and director have confirmed in interviews that this is a film for “real“ Silent Hill fans and they don’t want to disappoint them. Therefore, the camera movements and optical design effects, such as rusty and bloody walls, as well as the parallel world were completely taken from the games to create a real-looking Silent Hill reality. The famous nurse from the first part has also been remembered. Lisa Garland is embodied by one of the dancers, who also plays one of the Bubble Head Nurses. The director emphasized in an interview that he would have liked to expand her role. However, this was not possible, as it would have made the film too long. In addition, many creatures known mainly from Silent Hill 2 are also present in the film, such as Lying Figure, Creepers, Bubble Head Nurse, Pyramid Head and others. Ghost towns made uninhabitable by coal fires also exist in reality, for example Centralia in Pennsylvania, which served as a template for Silent Hill. It took Christophe Gans five years to obtain the rights to adapt the video game. He succeeded only after sending Konami an interview in which he explained how much the video game meant to him, and at the same time included a video produced on his own budget, accompanied by the video game’s original music. Originally, the script contained only female characters, which is why Christophe Gans got it back and added the role of Christopher Da Silva. Cameron Diaz was originally intended to be cast in the role of Cybil Bennett. Rose’s outfit was made in about 100 variations, starting with soft summer tones that became visibly grayer and bloodier as the film progressed. Many of the creatures were played by dancers - including Roberto Campanella - so they could perform abrupt and twisted movements. The movie essentially keeps to the events of the first game, yet there are significant differences: Through the game you guide the character Harry Mason, while in the movie the main character is named Rose Da Silva. The daughter’s name is Cheryl in the game and Sharon in the movie. The character Christabella does not appear at all in the game, while Michael Kaufmann does not appear in the movie. The character Lisa, a nurse, is shown only briefly in the film and is not mentioned by name. Officer Thomas Gucci is only mentioned in the game in a newspaper article regarding an investigation into drug trafficking in Silent Hill, while in the movie he leads the search for Rose and Sharon and thus takes on a more important role. The character of Dahlia Gillespie was completely rewritten for the film. The “pyramid head“ does not appear until the second part of the game series. The background story around “the evil“ as well as the ending differ significantly from the game. In the game, there is always the impression that the main character is imagining everything by abruptly waking up in other places and communicating with people there. Statements like “Was I dreaming“ or “Was that another dream“ can be heard several times. In the film, the characters are in the city throughout. Some locations in the game, such as Lakeside Amusement Park, do not appear in the film. Annie’s Bar, which plays a supporting role in the game, is shown in a brief scene in the film. Elementary objects of the games, such as the radio announcing the enemies, are only briefly hinted at in the film based on the static of the protagonist’s cell phone and the radio of the policewoman. The use of a flashlight is largely picked up in the film. The character Cybil Bennett dies in the film. In the game there is an opportunity to save her. Akira Yamaoka, who created the sound of the Silent Hill games and composed and recorded all the music himself, played a major role in the film’s score and overall sound effects. This is to convey the Silent Hill universe to fans as authentically and closely as possible to the games. Apart from the music title Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash, all music titles are taken from the video games. The film tended to be received rather negatively by critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, only 32% of a total of 103 reviews were positive. Metacritic determined a score of 31 out of 100 based on 21 reviews. On IMDb, however, the film has an above-average rating of 6.6/10 stars (as of October 2016). The film’s budget is estimated at $50 million. In its opening weekend, it took in over $20.1 million in the United States, for a total of just under $47 million in the United States. Worldwide, receipts of over US$97.6 million were recorded.
