SILENT HILL was a very valiant effort in the never-ending fight to make a genuinely good video game movie. In fact, even though I didn’t really care for the movie much at all it might be one of the better video game films to be made. Now, four years after the first film, we are finally seeing some momentum on a sequel.
Michael J. Bassett, director of SOLOMON KANE, will be be directing the sequel, which will be known as SILENT HILL: REVELATIONS. As to be expected, the new film is set to be in 3D.
Here’s the plot synopsis:
“The sequel follows Heather Mason, along with her father, who have been on the run – always one step ahead of dangerous forces that she doesn’t full understand. Now on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by horrific nightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she’s not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in Silent Hill forever.”
I can’t help but find myself excited about this film, it almost feels like it could be redemption for my feelings on the first film. I would love to see the film turn out well. Let’s hope the film series follows the trend of the games, and the second one becomes much better than the first.
