The studios are not the same.
Tristar/Sony published the first movie.
Universal published this one.
I am in for shit, aren't I?
Heather wakes up screaming.
Oh good, we're using this cheap cliched tactic.
Sean Bean's accent is really slipping in this movie. It kind of was last movie, but it's more obvious here somehow. I guess cause he's speaking more?
Rose tells Chris through the mirror that she can't be in this film, so take Sharon and keep her safe. Then Sharon is just on the couch with a brass symbol.
…..I think Harry would NOT do that. That seems more like a Henry thing to me.
Then the Otherworld flickers in around her. An Armless Man wanders in, prepared to charge her. Just as she's about to run, Vincent grabs her.
At least this feels like we're setting up for some of the SH3 plot.
(Oh my god, Vincent sounded like Vincent in that scene.)
He may not be Game!Vincent, but he's a good man! May this charming character not die...
Chris/Harry wrote a note, telling her that she isn't to go back to Silent Hill and that he lied to her to "protect" her. Wouldn't telling her the truth eventually actually help you protect her?
Anyway, they mention that Silent Hill was built on sacred Native American lands (which is from game's Mouth of God, though doesn't make it less racist).
He shows a massive wound in the shape of the Halo, which the only way he can move between the worlds. The cult member Harry killed had a mark like that.
She wakes in the ash world with a gun, ready to take on Silent Hill.
The Darkness takes over, interrupting their conversation. Heather runs into a building where a birthday table is in the hallway. Something spooks her to run into another room.
She wanders through the shelves, creepy mannequins looking back at her. One is even breathing! She comes across a woman being slowly turned into a mannequin! Holy shit! THE MONSTER IS HORRIFYING!!!
Vincent is now being interrogated by the Leader of the Cult, and his mother. She calls him weak for not doing his job and sends him to the asylum.
She makes her way to S12, where Leonard is just tethered to the floor. (Not a monster, but is Malcom McDowell)
Cut to a room full of faceless nurses. They remain still, until they sense movement. Vincent is soon the only one alive.
Heather rescues him, barely, and they book it.
She says that Harry will feed the god and Heather will birth it, so all of the world will pay for its sins.
As they drive off, we see police travelling along the road in a similar scene to Downpour.
The End...?
Actually, not terrible. It's not AMAZING in the slightest, but it's not god-awful either.
6/10, better than Valerian! I knew it!
Also, that WAS Claudia as Vincent's mother!!!
Silent Hill's references were subtle and acted like a bit of Easter egg candy for the fans.
Revelation's references were like someone winking at the camera going "see what we did there?".
