Whitney says a friend found it in a theatre. Looks like a UK poster, what with the different date and all.

Re: Official New Poster
Huh, that's... interesting. That is the laziest official ad I think I've ever seen.
Re: Official New Poster
It looks fanmade, yeah, but I personally like it better than the poster with the face. :/

Re: Official New Poster
Looking at the OP image, I am convinced now that Valtiel isn't gonna be just Pyramid Head minus the Pyramid. You get a good view of his arm there, and I don't see the tattoo of the Seal of Metatron, which is on the Valtiel statue-chair thingy we've seen. I really hope the valve-turning behavior and standing on walls is kept faithful to the game... PH operating the carousel machine has me a little worried.

Re: Official New Poster
Honestly? That UK poster reminds me of the back of one of the game boxes. Very nostalgic-feeling because of that, but not necessarily the best way to promote a movie. Are posters like this common in the UK--posters that outline the plot of the movie on them? Because this is my first time seeing anything like that.
Ah, on second look at that site, they say it was found in a flyer... Still kind of an odd ad for a movie, to me.

It looks like a poster that would be inside a Movie/Gaming magazine.
But at the same time it looks fan-made, Im not really sure what to think of it ._.

Re: Official New Poster
After being frantically recalled by the producers for being an unfinished work, the poster now has an official release.

Re: Official New Poster
The ugliest thing I've seen recently.
There was a SIGNATURE here. It's gone now.
Re: Official New Poster
Hmmm, Im not so sure why it was 'Frantically' Recalled because there isnt much of a difference.
It seems they have only added a back shadow to the font, put in the credits and messed about with the contrast and such.
Oh well...

Re: Official New Poster
I much prefer the version without the shadowing on the letters.

Not liking the poster. Both the image and the tagline are corny. "This Halloween, prepare for a 3D ride through hell."
...Really?...

Re: Official New Poster
I like the idea, but I agree about Pyramid Head having a muffin top.
SAIRENT HIRU no uta minna de utaou!
Re: Official New Poster
Really don't like it. If I wasn't a Silent Hill fan, I wouldn't be able to take it seriously at all.
Honestly, a poster like this would make me ignore the movie completely. It's just silly hah. At that point only word of mouth of it being worth it would probably convince me to watch it.

Re: Official New Poster
Just goes to show how uninspired the marketing team is. Either that, or they are really trying to lure in the young teen crowd due to it being a video game adaptation, or maybe them just not being able to see past the words "video game adaptation". I do hope the movie is much better than how they are making it look though. I know it seems like the originals marketing seemed much better, oddly enough.

Re: Official New Poster
I think they're trying to reel in "THIS IS A HALLOWEEN MOVIE, GUYS. FUN HORROR STUFF YES GOOD" crowds rather than "video game adaptation" crowds.

Looks like it'll be a 3D poster. I understand why they did the shadowing, then.

Re: Official New Poster
I wonder if the people who made that poster realize that the Great Knife is not a cartoon giant sword and is actually heavy even for Pyramid Head..

Re: Official New Poster
I hate this so much it kinda makes me want to cry. I don't even think I want to see this movie. Not that I was overjoyed by the idea of a second one to begin with. But, yes fuck that poster.
