There have been no less than nine different video games to bear the name of Silent Hill since the first chapter arrived in 1999, and by this point it's safe to say that the Konami franchise has built up a pretty strong fan base for their endless horror series -- but only one movie so far. By comparison, Capcom's Resident Evil, which debuted three years earlier now boasts 23 game releases and seven movie adaptations, if you're including the animated ones, but that franchise offers numerous beautiful women who kill zombies, whereas Silent Hill just has ... the world's creepiest town. The first movie arrived via Christoph Gans in 2006, and while it's a bit longer than any video-game-based horror flick has any right (or need) to be, it still holds up as a rather impressive visual display on unpleasant eeriness.

So how's the sequel?

Not very good, unfortunately, and I say that as »

Is Sean Bean a has been in this latest clip from Silent Hill: Revelation 3D? The film sees Heather Mason and her father on the run since the strange evens that befell their family six years ago. Moving from town to town trying to escape evil forces isn’t the best way to lead your life. The following clip shows a paranoid Heather thinking she is being followed, but once she calls her dad for help, it is he who is in danger. Director of British horror/fantasy films Deathwatch (2002), Wilderness (2006), and Solomon Kane (2009), Michael J. Bassett takes over direction, and with his track record it seems as though he can conjure up an entertaining sequel. I absolutely despised the first film, so I can but hope we get something different this time around.

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D will be released 31st October 2012. It stars Sean Bean, Kit Harrington, Adelaide Clemens, »

This new clip from the new Silent Hill movie, Silent Hill: Revelation, is pretty good. I mean, in a vapid, cartoon-y kind of way. Which is fine.

The writer, Michael Bassett, is a UK filmmaker with some pretty good horror and fantasy films under his belt (Deathwatch, Wilderness) as well as a questionable one (Solomon Kane).

Bassett is a nice guy; I took him to a press screening of Hard Candy back in the day, and he enjoyed it (I think). In any case, I have faith in Bassett, but I'm not sure why Solomon Kane turned out as outlandishly as it did; perhaps it's just a silly, outlandish story and there was no getting around that?

This just-releases clip from the upcoming (in October 2012) Silent Hill: Revelation at the 2012 Sand Diego Comic-Con actually shows what will probably end up being my favorite part of the movie. These »
