Yahoo! Movies has posted some production shots of the forthcoming Silent Hill movie, directed by Brotherhood of the Wolf helmer Christophe Gans. They certainly seem to have caught the look of Konami's downbeat survival horror titles - grubby alleys, blood-coloured hallways, freakish arms tugging at screaming women, ghostly staring children... No sign of pyramid-head though.
Yahoo's preview blurb describes the town of Silent Hill as "a world of decay inhabited by strange beings". Why, that could be any high street in provincal Britain! No wonder the games were so popular.
Sadly, I suspect the film won't have several different and utterly inexplicable endings...
