I don't know if anyone caught this... but in the concrete tunnel that Rose runs through at the beginning when searching for Sharon with her husband... it says Cheryl in grafitti (i don't know how to spell that).
Through the Ritual of the Holy Assumption, he built a world. It exists in a space seperate from the world of our Lord. More accurately, it is within, yet without the Lord's world.

I noticed how some people were talking about product placement with GMC graffiti. I don't think that's correct, seeing how Gucci's car is a Ford Expedition and Rose's is a Jeep Liberty. Chris actually said "Jeep Liberty" in the movie.

Back on topic, and this might seem a little weird, the bubble nurses' amplified cleavage is definitely a throwback to the games and how (if my mind serves me correctly) Konami wanted to have the edge of sexuality for those particular monsters. Oh, and the fact that some of the nurses were carrying steel pipes just like they added to the nurses in Silent Hill 2.

I thought the inclusion of Lisa in the hospital was brilliant, i never saw her in any of the trailers or previews and seeing her there was excellent, great nod to the first game.

There are so many great nods to the game to mention, the film being a mixture of the first two games, the music being from the third. Brilliant.

You really saw that? For me the space behind the fence was blocked by Rose while she was inspecting the body with the lighter. It was also too dark. maybe you're just alluding to this pic?

This is obviously an arranged photoshoot of the set. observe that the gurney with the body bag on it has been "magically" moved behind the fence... and in the movie, more of the miner's guts were lying at the ground on his feet.

That wasn't the same arrangement they used in the movie. That was why I was surprised when you said you saw the wheelchair in that part of the film.

Bedridden Mary[Alessa]/Nurse ending in SH2

Post by Anonymous »

I just finished SH2 today with the
PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:
water ending and was talking to one of my coworkers and he said that the ending of the movie, with Mary in the bed and the nurse [lisa garland?] crying in the corner. Mary talks to you and then you get stuck in silent hill. Does this ending exist and has anyone gotten it because I can't find info on this.

I think that question should be in the Game Forum. The Mods will be after you if you actually get people to answer it on this thread

Mr. Clark, if you're going to discuss the game endings in relation to the movie, please use spoiler tags. I have edited your post for you, thanks. :P

I can't believe no one got this one:

When Anna, Rose and Cybil are traversing from one building to another through the window (Silent Hill 2, Apartments.) Remember when James had to jump from one window to the next? That nod to the game stood out the most for me.

Alot of people got that one. It's the first one posted.

I think they did really good with the uhm... decorations.
The rust, the chainlink, the bodies... all very good.

The fact that they gave some background and a face to Gucci is pretty neat as well.

Hmm...I thought another thing I've noticed was the bird and the birdcage when Rose first encounters the creepy miners in the school.It started to remind me of the birdcage puzzle in Silent hill 1.

When she opens the door to alessa's hospital room in the movie is just like the scene where heather opens the door past the fairytale monster in SH3... a whole lotta white light.

The only one I can think of that isn't so blatantly obvious was some of the Camera angles. When she walked or entered a room, the angles were done the same way like in the game.

Don't talk to strangers

Little Sharon told Cybil that she doesn't talk to strangers in the film is like Heather told Douglas that she doesn't talk to strangers in SH3.
