Reminds me of Silent Hill


Some Scenes, like that with the giant moth, really reminded me of the first Silent Hill game.

I believe in the first Silent Hill, there is a Koontz St. or something along those lines.

I totally agree with the Silent Hill comparison. The scene where they find the dead body and the camera angles going throught that house really reminded me of Silent Hill. I loved the first half of the movie, but the ending makes baby Jesus Cry.

Last night, I dug this movie out of my old extensive LaserDisc collection. I had been thinking about it for a while, and wanted to see it again. For the life of me, I could not remember the name of this film but only referred to it as "Silent Hill- The Movie".

The first time I ever saw this I made the Silent Hill comparison. Especially with the cops running around, and the sirens. All they really needed was a radio to keep the tension up whenever the Foe was around (radio in Silent Hill was very creepy!)

Overall, I liked Phantoms, but I think Silent Hill was creepier. :)

some parts of the film reminded me of that 80s movie The Thing.

That's because the novel that this film is based upon was a primary influence on Silent Hill (1999 VG), as was the film "Jacob's Ladder."
