Silent Hill: The Movie

I think it's cheap on the directors part to have someone suddenly pop into the frame accompanied by a loud noise. That's a cheap trick. Considering the source material, the Silent Hill movie should never have to resort to that. The scariest parts in Silent Hill were due to atmosphere and tension. An example would be the haunted house in SH3. That scared me to death when I first started it. Great mood and atmosphere is the key.

Yeah but doom? isnt movie material, half-life is but it wouldnt be a good one (I can tell they would screw it up so bad), Duke Nukem isnt cause its really cheesy, and quake didnt have a very good following besides our generation...
Doom made a good couple books though
Silent Hill is definatly Movie Material

I loved the game franchise, but the movie WILL suck. Why? The company is FRENCH. They are notorious for making movies that are nicely referred to as an acquired taste but that most people just see as weird. They have contributed NOTHING cool except for fries and that movie The Professional.

DOOM Hell On Earth
DOOM Infernal Sky
DOOM End Game

yeah I remember them now. Hell on Earth was the best IMO.
Edit: Silent Hill is weird. It's fitting that the French handle it (that's not a mock at the French, I'm French).

qckbeam, I think we should jack this thread --
mwahaha, new topic - the doom books
actually I think Knee Deep in the Dead was better... clean, simple, you could really hear Fly in your head when he spoke, and his relationship growth with arlene and finding her in the first was awesome.. all the signs she left and such

Thread jacked
It's been awhile since I read Knee Deep in the Dead. I honestly don't remember alot of it, although I do remember liking it. The end of Hell on Earth was cool though, if I remember correctly. They were on the top story of some skyscraper and demons were trying to get in the room. Then they did something with a boot? I don't know if this makes any sense or if I'm just pulling stuff out of my ass. I just remeber the first two were good. The third one sucked, except for one part I can't remember to well (something to do with a demon and a meat cleaver I think), and I never got to the fourth one (my school confiscated it
) I'm going to re-read the damn books now since I can't remember much about them.

how old were you when you read Knee Deep in the Dead and Hell on Earth MrWhite? I remember trying to buy them at the store and for a long time my parents wouldn't let me becasue they felt I was too young.

I never really understood some of my parents ideas. I was allowed to play Doom and Wolfenstein3d when I was really young, but I couldn't buy a book. Kinda strange really. Other than that my parents are very open to pretty much anything.
Edit: I think the fourth book was entitled endgame, not sure though.
