Return to SH, itll take time for ppl to understand (100 years presumably)

1 post in this topic

I guess ppl didnt realize, but since everyone hated Return to Silent Hill, it seems evident: No one (except for a few of us) is into that cheap Japanese horror game aesthetic that it was going for -> that is, where you have the really bad script/lines and, repetitive characters (that is, in making a cheap game, you cant afford more than one \*model for the female char., for instance). Of course thats not the only decision behind stuff like that, but its more economical. The whole aesthetic is more of a statement than it is anything else.

i was actually making a story inspired by those types of repetitive elements. Though i think there was something in the beginning of Christophe Gan's SIlent Hill 1 that he needed to incorporate if it was to successfully portray what i think it needed. Alas it was a missed opportunity (And i thnk its from a very specific game on steam that i couldnt even tell you what the game was called)

But anyway, seeing as everyone hated it, i guess we just sortve have to wait until ppl warm up to the idea of things like this, seeing as the industry and audiences around the world are going through changes. So eventually that aesthetic will come back, and ppl will be like, "Oh wow, thats what they were doing w/ that 3rd installment of silent hill movie..." And consider there probably wont be a movie like it again, i mean the chances seem low now. so its really the last of its kind until someone has confidence to put so many of these like... *elements that are at odds w/ each other, all in one movie together (i liked how it came together). Like, the director mustve just been like, "we are doing this. its gona be awesome. albeit, no one is gonna realize it until 100 years later" xD 

Also, if you look at movies hes directed, or atleast on his wiki page, it says 2006 - SIlent Hill, 2014 - Beauty and the beast, and then it goes all the way to 2026 - Return to Silent Hill. Like, his main concern his whole life has been silent hill, like... That right there says alot, unless they just didnt add any movies hes made to his page or something. Like, usually directors, even small ones have had tons of movies theyve experimented w/ since 2006. Christopher Gans is like, "Just call me when yous are ready". Like thats crazy.
