Hope it doesn't suck like the two Resident Evil movies that Paul Anderson made, they even changed the lead character into a female(poor Harry), It would be a great injustice for the fans and even for me if this movie blows... :censored: Hollywood!

PLOT OUTLINE:
Quote:
 
Rose cannot accept the knowledge that her daughter Sharon is dying of a fatal disease. Over the protests of her husband, she flees with her child, intending to take the girl to a faith healer. On the way, she ends up driving through a portal in reality, which takes her to the eerie and deserted town of Silent Hill. Sharon disappears in Silent Hill, and Rose follows what she thinks is her daughter's silhouette all over town. It's soon clear the town is not like any place she's ever been. It's inhabited by a variety of creatures and a living darkness that descends and literally transforms everything it touches. The human inhabitants - the ones who are left - are trapped and fighting a losing battle against the Darkness. Joined by a cop named Cybil, who has been sent to bring her and Sharon back, Rose searches for her little girl while learning the history of Silent Hill and that Sharon is just a pawn in a larger game. To save her daughter, Rose makes a deal with a demon in the form of a little girl.....



ABOUT SILENT HILL:

What is Silent Hill?
Silent Hill is a lakeside resort town, in the United States, that seems to be shifting from what may or may not be this world to some "Otherworld." In the first two games, the protagonists are seemingly accidentally (or incidentally) drawn to the town, which to the protagonists appears abandoned and its inhabitants replaced by fearsome monsters and possibly demonic entities. In the third and fourth games, the horrors of Silent Hill have been "brought to" the games' protagonists. In each game, players are required to uncover a complex mystery to explain why they are being haunted by Silent Hill's native horrors. Thus, the games have a primarily narrative basis rather than being driven by action.

Silent Hill is portrayed in different ways in the various games. The enemies and environments all relate to the themes and plot of each game:

The first game focuses on a cult in Silent Hill and their religious activities, and therefore the game contains largely-monotheistic and hermetic symbolism of occult-related activities, many of which are put to the player's interpretation. These symbols are extremely suggestive, taking on a malevolent or beneficial appearance depending upon an individual person's perspective, a theme that will prevail throughout the whole series.
The second game suggests that the town may be a metaphorical incarnation of a person's troubled psyche, or perhaps a kind of purgatory where people are unconsciously drawn to punish themselves due to feelings of guilt for past crimes, or even to revel in them.
The third game continues the notion of apparent battles between seemingly supernatural forces with continued use of religious overtones and imagery that were a hallmark of the first game. This game further explores the relationship that individuals have with their surroundings and their perception thereof.
The fourth game is openly surreal in its depiction of environment relating to the psyche of the protagonist as it is influenced by an outside force he cannot control.
There is a prevalent presence of sexual metaphors throughout the series that seem to derive from the protagonist's angst and fears and give a symbolic representation of the characters' mentality. Many of the underlying themes in the games are depicted by scenery rather than by dialogue, and give Silent Hill a great deal of ambiguity.

As Silent Hill is perceived through the protagonists' eyes, it is not always clear whether what is seen by the player is a simply a hallucination or if the town is truly changing into the grotesque scenes that the player must travel through. In all of the games, the player will occasionally run across clear defiances of the laws of physics. For example, a player may enter a doorway only to find themselves inexplicably back in the same location or somehow transported to a far away place.

There are also times when the protagonist is situated in a location that cannot be pointed out on the map provided. When present in such a situation, in the first installment, the map simply names the place "Nowhere." Here, the game is wholly lent to the player's interpretation.

Where is 'Silent Hill'?
It is worth noting that the manual to the first game describes Silent Hill as a small New England resort town. The surroundings of Silent Hill are similar to the region, particularly the fog. The town might be located in Northern New England, possibly Maine. In the second game, the number plates on all the cars in the game are from Michigan. The fourth game takes place in a town called Ashfield, which resembles Fall River, Massachusetts.

The town of Silent Hill is also located near a large body of water called Toluca Lake, which suggests a Southern California location. This is reinforced by the fact that Douglas' car in Silent Hill 3 has California tags, although to wit, Silent Hill 3 does not initially take place in the town, which itself is only visited in the second half after both Douglas and Silent Hill 3 protagonist Heather Morris go on a long, overnight drive. Again, this provides a fair amount of ambiguity about Silent Hill and its surrounding environment.

However, the Japanese version of the Silent Hill 4 soundtrack lists an address for Heaven's Night, a strip club in Silent Hill, and the state is listed as Maine, so many fans have decided that Silent Hill is in Maine. The movie, scheduled for release in Spring of 2006, places Silent Hill in West Virginia. Given the nature of the games, it's entirely possible that there is more than one Silent Hill with similar appearances and lore, which are linked by the town's otherworldly occurrences.
