Silent Hill. I actually saw the movie first (I know, it wasn't great but my friends took me and I felt like I couldn't say no) and was prepared to leave early due to being too scared. I wound up enjoying it and went on to have a great time with the games. (Well, 1 through 4 at least.)

You know, I've never asked but what did you think about the second SH film?

I didn't actually see it. I heard so much bad about it that I didn't want to spend money on it. I should probably watch it eventually.

Honestly, I was the same way. I finally watched it last year.

It's really as bad everyone says. =(

The only good things were the Robbie the Rabbit costume (ROBBIE THE RABBIT TERRIFIES ME) and the scene where Heather tries to avoid getting sliced up by the nurses. The rest of the film is hot garbage. (Douglas doesn't even have that big of a role! And Vincent's character was completely changed omg whyyyyyy???)

I think I'm better off not watching it then.

(Robbie terrifies me too. Between Donnie Darko and Silent Hill I'm just off giant rabbits.)

Honestly, it's for the best. Especially given what they do with Douglas' character (I was like, 'that's it? no way. maybe they'll show him later?' The answer is no, they don't.)

And since you're not going to watch it: small spoiler: Vincent is Claudia's son. Let that sink in for a moment. Now rage. lol

I made myself watch this a few months ago and knew it was going to make me angry as a fan of the games. :( I was amazed that they screwed the lore and canon inside out but somehow did a perfect recreation of Douglas' appearance. He was completely inconsequential in the movie and had nothing to do but I remember sitting there thinking "He just looks so Douglas." It just seemed like such an odd detail to get right amidst all the stuff they got so terribly wrong.

Then angsty teen, doe-eyed son-of-Claudia (what) happened and I was angry again.

YES EXACTLY! I didn't get it at all. *headshake*

And that Robbie the Rabbit costume was very on point too, lol.

I thought they killed Douglas off?

That is ridiculous. They are supposed to be the same age and unrelated and I'm not saying that because I ship them. (That too though. I mean it's a messed up ship but not as messed up as that would be.) Rage indeed!

Yep, they did. Like after the mall part. THAT early in the film.

And there was a bit with Heather in school that felt SO unnecessary but that'swhere she meets Vincent at. Ugh
As a fellow Heather/Vincent shipper (as well as Claudia/Heather), I'm with you 100% on both the ridiculous and the rage the film is. Sigh.

Well, at least the movie led you to the first four games, which are awesome. :) I know 4 was really divisive and had some dodgy gameplay choices (escort missions, nooo) but I find myself liking it more every playthrough. Can I ask which is your favourite of the 4?

I liked 4 a lot actually. I think because I liked the main characters a lot, even Eileen.

My favorite is probably 2, because it has such a good story. About halfway through I started suspecting what they were leading up to and I still enjoyed the whole game. I'm really fond of 3 also though.

But I only played them all once. I'm just not very good at games so I seldom replay them. I wrote a lot of fic though!

Yeah, I liked everyone in 4 too. It gets picked on a lot and treated like a black sheep, but some of the scares (the hauntings in particular) are so subtle and effective IMO, and the random element makes for great replay value. Will never forget being 14 and going "I'm sure that rabbit wasn't pointing at me before."

2 is fantastic and still my favourite. It's such a shame that the movies tried to tackle the complicated storylines of 1/3 (and made such a mess of it) when 2 alone could have made such a brilliant, self-contained little psychological horror flick. :(

I'd definitely be interested in reading that fic if you fancy sending some my way! <3

Yes, after I played it I really wondered why they didn't go with 2 if they were going to make a movie. I actually met (years later) a woman who had worked on the first movie (as a producer I think) and she said she'd seen it literally 200 times. She said she had never played any of the games, and I got the impression she never talked to Silent Hill fans and was surprised to meet one. She didn't work on the second movie though.

Thank you for asking! This is Feathers, which is a Henry/Eileen fic (only slight "shipping" though) and in some ways my favorite fic that I've written.

You could theoretically find the rest of my Silent Hill fic under the same name but I ought to warn you that some of it is extremely messed up. (Both in ways you might expect from Silent Hill, and also due to the fact that I had/have a thing for older man/younger woman pairings which is of course not everyone's cup of tea.)
