I was always under the impression that the cult members didn’t die the night they tried to burn Alessa, as they all ran out and the room was empty when the police arrived and saved Alessa. The cult members were actually still alive, but transported to the Silent Hill that was separated from normal reality by the demon that helps Alessa get her revenge. They even show the cult members doing supply/food runs and rushing back to the church when the sirens sound. They say in the movie that their faith keeps her (the demon) out of the church, which is why she needed Rose to “smuggle” her inside. They honestly did a good job of explaining everything within the movie.
Those miners carying the birds in cages is a reference to a safety measure miners used. Those birds are very sensitive to poisonous gasses often encountered in mines and often warned the miners in advance.
Hey everyone, we've got two versions of the audio on here. The first has the Silent Hill soundtrack throughout if you want a bit more atmosphere. If that's too overpowering you can select the different language track and listen to it without. Thanks, Paul.
A question: as you have a chestburster T-shirt, do you also have a T-shirt of Jonesy catching it? Saw this image once of Jonesy walking through a corridor with the chestburster in his mouth and in the corner: Alien, the short version.
Instead of Stigmata reference, I always assumed the scars on Gucci’s hands were from when he rescued Alessa from the fire. In fact that’s exactly what it’s from iirc.
Huge thank you for checking out the video. Would love to hear your feedback on the music and if it's too loud or you'd rather it wasn't needed. Can easily switch in another audio track if you guys would rather listen to it without. Thanks, Paul.
The music is great - no problem at all 🙂 I love the budgie in a cage being used by the Silent Hill miner-searchers...since a budgie was used in real life by miners to determine if the air had gotten dangerous and the miners needed to leave quickly, as the budgie could tell if the air had gotten toxic before the miners could realize it...thought it was a nice touch to tell the Silent Hill 'miners' that the environment was changing ("growing toxic") so they would know to leave before they were caught in the hell-world version. Showed how the directors even linked such little items back to the mine fire history of Silent Hill. Silent Hill is a movie I watch no matter how many times it comes on TV. It's one of those movies that has so much thought put into every aspect of it. Really love it.
Love the videos Paul, but I have to correct you. Only the Silent Hill film is based on Centralia, PA, not the game's version of SH. Team Silent - the original Japanese Konami creators of the first 4 games - have always denied that there's a fire under the town, or that it's based on any real world location. Mashiro Ito has tweeted several times about his frustration with this misconception. Team Silent as a whole, hate the Centralia link, they see their games featuring fog and snow, not gas and ash as depicted in the film.
Silent hill homecoming was first announced as Silent hill 5, however it was changed to homecoming. And it was clear that it was heavily inspired by the movie
I'm pretty sure in the hospital scene of the film a demon explains the deal that was made where they split the soul in 2 and the pure side was allowed to live as normal, whilst the dark side stayed to get revenge.
I don't know why some people don't like this film. I know it plays it loose with some of the lore but overall it captures the atmosphere of the games very well.
@@MaxskiSynths - What I find most interesting about this comment, is that this is considered unusual or surprising. In the town where I grew up, there were two theaters, the old twin one, and the new Odeon 4 plex; Most of the best Movies were of course scooped up by the 4 cinema one, which was on the other end of the town from where we lived, so it was easily a good 45 - 60 minute drive, so for me, driving an hour to see a movie was just .. I dunno .. Movie night? Strikes me as a bizarre mentality that people thinking it is unusual to take 30 to 60 minutes to reach a location when you went out. heck it was like a 15 minute drive at least just to get to the corner store. I guess people are a little too delicate nowadays - we used to have to wait a whole week to see the next episode of a show, unless it was the season finale, then you had to wait through the entire summer. Ahh good times.
@@Arthaius I’m lost on your ideology man. Back then there wasn’t much to do in my area and the nearest cinema was a hour away. I was such a fan of the games at that point and without social media to taint the experience I had a blast
@@TheGreatPewpyOne not really for the time. RUclips wasn’t really a thing a I was a hard core fan of the series and the nearest cinema was over an hour away and I enjoyed the hell out of it
Back when I was in middle school, to us PC nerds, you were either a C&C kid, or a Starcraft/Warcraft kid! Lol! Later in high school though, I think you are right for a broad spectrum of people! You were just kinda a Resident Evil kid or a SH kid! Depending on what system you played essentially. And this was only because SH came out exclusively on the PS1! Lol!
RE2 was so dope. Then Silent Hill and especially Silent Hill 2 were even better. Too young so I used to watch the Simpsons after playing so that I could sleep. 😅
It’s so wild that Laurie didn’t like her hair short. The moment when she rips off that helmet and jacket and you see this stacked gorgeous blond with short hair omfg I swear it was my bisexual awakening.
I remember this movie getting crapped on alot when it first came out but I always have had a soft spot for it. What I enjoyed was during a time when almost everything in cinema was pure CGI, this film chose to do mostly practical effects enhanced with CGI.
29:25…I could be wrong, but I think Alice Krieg might have been partially inspired in her performance by a Pentecostal faith healer from the ‘70s named Kathryn Kuhlman. I watched the movie with two people who were raised in a fundamentalist household and they both instantly remarked on the similarities.
Great details and comedy as usual!! Audio is okay from speaker but I think it may be a little too much on certain headphones/earbuds. Also how is any Wickerman breakdown coming along?
Gonna start it December. I’m just worried about the copyright issues with studio canal. Cheers for your comments on the audio. Might upload a music free version to select with the language settings.
1 of my favorite movies, very underrated, for a 1st go at a live-action representation of this franchise, pretty good, and compared with RE kinda like a masterpiece, quality-wise
i never heard the silent hill warning siren in real life until i moved to a small town, and when i did . . . . well that was triggering. im used to the tornado sirens of citys, very electronic sounding, hearing a manual siren like that in a creepy woodland area . man never getting that experience again.
I was more Resident Evil fan growing up and still now. Silent Hill however will always have a place in my gaming heart for the amazing & spooky music, design of the villains, and the overall atmosphere.
My brother, who’s 14 years older than me, gave me his old PlayStation 1 with a few games,one of them was Silent Hill. I was under 10 and it was the scariest thing I’d ever seen! 😨😭
A fun little easter egg to SH2 is the little map on the bus stop. It's practically the same map. The thing is that the map you see is of South Vale, which is more or less a district of the town Silent Hill. If this is the case then she is in South Vale, the same area James explores in SH2. It doesn't make any sense considering she should be in Old Silent Hill but whatever lol An easter egg is an easter egg I suppose.
i always loved the camera work in that movie im curious to christoph gans bring silent hill 2 story to the big screen to rinse off the bad taste i had with the second silent hill movie
Liked Silent Hill! In particular, the viscious killing of the evil priestess!! I am never satisfied with evil peoples come ups but hers was Magnificent!!!!😂
I visited Centralia about 10 years ago. Wasn't much left even back then. A church, a handful of ruined houses, a couple stretches of pavement and curbs, handful of chimneys. A graveyard. Nowadays, there's going to be nothing left to see. It was haunting, liminal, and also troubling. The content of the graffiti telegraphed modern politics.
pyramid head is one of my favorite horror antagonist, if you can call him that in the movies. even if he is supposedly the child toucher that kinda caused the whole problem with alessa. still a very creepy one in movies and games.
This is so memorable to me because this was a movie where I was kicked out from as a kid. Movie was rated R13 and I was 11 at the time. Mom unleashed her inner karen and argued that the ticket was non refundable therefore I should be let it. Manager still didn't budge and they ended up comping a Madagascar ticket for me. Kinda sad cause I was looking forward to this cause we've been playing SH1. 😅
I quite enjoyed the movie. Starts a bit meh but finds its feet. And YKW fails to die in it. Not sure why you don’t get the canary in a cage being carried by miners.
My sister and I would replay the moment when the outcast woman gets hit in the head with a rock over and over. I don’t know why we found it so hilarious
I just joined and it was totally worth it I don't know if you take suggestions I have thousands big trouble in little china for a start . Best RUclips channel just beating Oliver harper who is my bbbbooooooooyyyyyiiiiieeee so viva la heavy spoilers
I thought the kids name was sharyl? Sharon, Sheryl? Idk. Maybe it's the Mandela effect. Either way, noce work. Pyramid head is definitely one of the most iconic bad dudes, in my mind.

Huge thank you for checking out the video. If you enjoyed this video then please subscribe to the channel ruclips.net/channel/UCq3hT5JPPKy87JGbDls_5BQ
Great video. I think my favorite thing about this movie is that Sean Bean, who famously dies in everything, survived Silent Hill not once, but twice.
He is the chosen one.
Yeah!!! This achievement is so underated 🤪
Yea, and gets the most depressing ending of all time. Arguably worse than death.
@ yes :(

I really like these long deep dives in movies

it is pronounced "ON-TEAR-IO" gotta rep my canadian province.
I’m here for my daily dose of Ryan Aery’s Mum roast.
Wait this videos is saying it came out today why the comments so much older
Very cool to me that they filmed the nurses performances walking backwards, then reversed the recording for that unsettling, "off" feel.

I get sick of hearing that “fun fact” about Centrailia which is completely separate from the games.
@neurohack9038 same mate, it annoys me as much as it annoys Team Silent haha.
Silent hill homecoming was first announced as Silent hill 5, however it was changed to homecoming. And it was clear that it was heavily inspired by the movie
The 5 people in Centralia aren't leaving because they're extremely elderly and don't want to leave their family home.
my first video as a member, exciting! love you paul 🫶🏻
When I'm rich, I'll become a member Paul. Heck I'll buy 5 lol x
I'm pretty sure in the hospital scene of the film a demon explains the deal that was made where they split the soul in 2 and the pure side was allowed to live as normal, whilst the dark side stayed to get revenge.
This movie really nails the atmosphere and tone of Silent Hill. Totally underrated and a hidden gem
Somewhat. It was not about the devil at all though. Alyssa had a psychic burst during the ritual from stress and it was an accident not a devil plan.
How's that underrated or hidden when everybody knows about this movie?!
I have grown to love your channel over the last year. Your pace is great and its clear you care. cheers
ey much appreciated, thank you
Fr always put a playlist on when I go to bed, chillin AF
I don't know why some people don't like this film. I know it plays it loose with some of the lore but overall it captures the atmosphere of the games very well.
As a Silent Hill adaptation it's rather poor. As a movie it's mid at best. I always felt that the acting was very mediocre.
When the Silent Hill movie came out I had to drive over an hour to the theater to watch it. I did it five times
Oof that's kinda embarrassing tbh

Idky as a kid i thought that you were either a resident evil kid or a silent hill kid. Kind of like playstation or xbox

You were very closed minded
I was a "zombie ate your neighbors" kid
If only those kids grew up to enjoy both eh? 😄
Strange…me 2, I played silent hill….until res evil 4
I remember seeing this in the theater when it came our and loved how creepy it was. THEN I got into the games.
Thank you, I was looking for a Easter egg break down of this movie I just watched it again last week
Would love breakdowns for The Substance and A Different Man. My two top movies of the year hands down and I'm expecting Oscars all across the board.
glad to see this movie coming back into vogue! it's an underrated movie IMO
RE2 was so dope. Then Silent Hill and especially Silent Hill 2 were even better. Too young so I used to watch the Simpsons after playing so that I could sleep. 😅

Yes, yes. We know your sexual orientation is your entire personality. 😂
So anyways, back to the video.

The movie version of silent Hill is based on Centralia the games are not based on the town. It's a common misconception
Right, the games are based on Kindergarten Cop.
Came here to make this comment but glad someone did
@@DWN9
Glad someone knows the real lore.
Don't forget the spooky jellybeans that are critical for your progress
It's such a cool idea (the coal fire) that it should be part of the games, though.
@ClellBiggs Nah it should only stay in the movie canon
Paul muad’dib with yet another classic
Yeah, anytime it is super foggy outside, I look over at my daughter and say, "Alessa, calm down."
I watched this movie a month ago for the first time ever. It was really good, good timing for you to cover it.
NEEDED THIS
19:26 one of the hardest trophies to get in SH 2 (Silent Hill HD Collection) is this lake & getting across it in a certain time
One does not simply walk into Silent Hill
Sible’s death is horrifying
29:25…I could be wrong, but I think Alice Krieg might have been partially inspired in her performance by a Pentecostal faith healer from the ‘70s named Kathryn Kuhlman. I watched the movie with two people who were raised in a fundamentalist household and they both instantly remarked on the similarities.
8:55 😮 Interesting👏🏿
Miners use to carry canaries into mines to see if they died. Thus told them if it was dangerous for them to be inside.
I was always an RE kid too. I had a fear of zombies for years due to it. Now, I’m like I’ll get over it. 😂😂
One of my Canadian actress crushes is in this film; Tanya Allen who plays Anna. She played Percy in a CanSciFi show called Star Hunter.
OMG I was obsessed with Sibyl's hair! Totally made me want to cut mine 😂 Laurie looked amazing with short hair!
Great details and comedy as usual!! Audio is okay from speaker but I think it may be a little too much on certain headphones/earbuds. Also how is any Wickerman breakdown coming along?

@@heavyspoilers Pardon my ignorance if the audio track trickery has been done elsewhere, but that's frikkin genius.
I live about 1.5 hours away from Centralia. I definitely have to go there in summer.
Excellent video choice first watching the film was a shocker ...also golden eye is still the king of games
Goldeneye the Don of FPS multiplayer
1 of my favorite movies, very underrated, for a 1st go at a live-action representation of this franchise, pretty good, and compared with RE kinda like a masterpiece, quality-wise
YES! and perfect timing, just got done making dinner.
im tired of pretending this movie isnt absolutely peak
The fate of Cybil in the movie was one of the most traumatizing things I saw as a kid in a movie
Thank you Paul.
i never heard the silent hill warning siren in real life until i moved to a small town, and when i did . . . . well that was triggering. im used to the tornado sirens of citys, very electronic sounding, hearing a manual siren like that in a creepy woodland area . man never getting that experience again.
Bro if everyone leaves a town then the last people’s houses are worthless. You can’t move if you’re poor.
The way the world changed back and forth reminds me of the effect from the Hawkeye show when Yelena came back from the snap
I was more Resident Evil fan growing up and still now. Silent Hill however will always have a place in my gaming heart for the amazing & spooky music, design of the villains, and the overall atmosphere.
I always assumed it was The Devil and he was so disgusted with what was done to Alessa that he decided to help her... that's what I always thought
I love this movie so much and music are perfect
Anna's death is one of the best in cinema history... I saw this in a packed theater and people lost their minds - it was great
I like the first movie, it comes not close to the games, but still a good SH movie!
A breakdown of the American Psycho book and film would be great. Just saying 😘😁
Was gonna do it and then they announced the remake so might hold off for that but it will come
My brother, who’s 14 years older than me, gave me his old PlayStation 1 with a few games,one of them was Silent Hill. I was under 10 and it was the scariest thing I’d ever seen! 😨😭
Saw it in the theater and had a lot of fun. Had that walking out at the end buzz.
I’m at work and I get a silent hill video hell yeah
Love the video, but I can't let the injustice go-
Hamilton, Ont-air-ee-oh
❤
Fire video as always fam!
I'll be honest, I didn't hate this movie when it came out but its sequel ruined it for me.
I really hope for a third movie based on SH2. I honestly didn’t mind Revelations.
Oh silent hill wasn’t based on Centralia, but it did inspire the makers of this movie and they decided to film there
A fun little easter egg to SH2 is the little map on the bus stop. It's practically the same map.

this is sooo funny. I want to see more of this
I live very close to that town. Its a pretty cool place to explore, that town and the graffiti highway too
Centralia is an awesome town! I have been there once and it is pretty damn creepy
This was such an underrated movie
One of the best horror movies of the 2000s
Did you get your hair colored? It looks good!!
Ahhh Silent Hill, the movie I found myself rooting for the demon child.
I HIGHLY recommend everybody listen to the Dollop episode about Centralia. It's insane.
It should have been harry. Men can be just as caring for their kids
I can confirm the quality of the sequel.
I went to see it in theaters. It was one of the only times I have ever felt that I truly wasted my time.
i always loved the camera work in that movie im curious to christoph gans bring silent hill 2 story to the big screen to rinse off the bad taste i had with the second silent hill movie
Silent hill is my absolute favorite movie ❤
Liked Silent Hill! In particular, the viscious killing of the evil priestess!! I am never satisfied with evil peoples come ups but hers was Magnificent!!!!😂
I visited Centralia about 10 years ago. Wasn't much left even back then. A church, a handful of ruined houses, a couple stretches of pavement and curbs, handful of chimneys. A graveyard. Nowadays, there's going to be nothing left to see. It was haunting, liminal, and also troubling. The content of the graffiti telegraphed modern politics.
It blows my mind that the Silent Hill movie only came out 5 years after Silent Hill 2. It feels like it was 10 years at least
I watched the movie strictly to watch this review... Happy I did. Good movie... The review was OK, I guess ;) (Joke, ofc. Thanks Paul!)
Gotta use subtitles during movies and shows
pyramid head is one of my favorite horror antagonist, if you can call him that in the movies. even if he is supposedly the child toucher that kinda caused the whole problem with alessa. still a very creepy one in movies and games.
This is so memorable to me because this was a movie where I was kicked out from as a kid. Movie was rated R13 and I was 11 at the time. Mom unleashed her inner karen and argued that the ticket was non refundable therefore I should be let it. Manager still didn't budge and they ended up comping a Madagascar ticket for me. Kinda sad cause I was looking forward to this cause we've been playing SH1. 😅
can you do the second silent hill movie please ?
The Borg Queen is always creepy as hell. Damn she's good.
I quite enjoyed the movie. Starts a bit meh but finds its feet. And YKW fails to die in it. Not sure why you don’t get the canary in a cage being carried by miners.
My sister and I would replay the moment when the outcast woman gets hit in the head with a rock over and over. I don’t know why we found it so hilarious
Damn, she looks good with short hair…🔥🔥🔥
Wow I feel old all the sudden 2002 man time flies get it lol😅
Alice Krige is just a masterful villain, in this and as the Borg Queen.
Paul's looking well ❤
Hi Paul,
I’m your viewer… Paul 😊
That would be cool if they would remake silent hill origins and homecoming plus I hear of a new silent hill coming sound interesting
ok...like two minutes into the vid and just nodding my head. Virtual fist bump to you my kindred-soul-brother, lol
I 🤍 this and I ❤️🔥 you 🥰 "Look at me, I'm burning" 🙆🏻♀️
The best move they made was keeping Uwe Boll as far from this project as possible.
I love this movie, I never played the games though so maybe that's why

Shoutouts Oliver Harper. Absolutely love that guy. Definitely wanna do a Kurt Russel retrospective at some point.
