Wow, I just checked out the trailer for this upcoming flick and it looks really creepy - kind of a Hellraiser meets The Ring hybrid (link at end of post).
From moviesonline, "The film tells the story of a woman who, desperate to save her dying child, finds herself trapped in an alternate reality as she searches for her daughter in a dangerous world of demons. Rose cannot accept the knowledge that her daughter Sharon is dying of a fatal disease. Over the protests of her husband, she flees with her child, intending to take the girl to a faith healer. On the way, she ends up driving through a portal in reality, which takes her to the eerie and deserted town of Silent Hill.
Sharon (Jodelle Ferland) disappears in Silent Hill, and Rose (Radha Mitchell) follows what she thinks is her daughter's silhouette all over town. It's soon clear the town is not like any place she's ever been. Is's inhabited by a variety of creatures and a living darkness that descends and literally transforms everything it touches. The human inhabitants (the ones who are left) are trapped and fighting a losing battle against the Darkness.
Joined by a cop named Cybil (Laurie Holden), who has been sent to bring her and Sharon back, Rose searches for her little girl while learning the history of Silent Hill and that Sharon is just a pawn in a larger game. To save her daughter, Sharon makes a deal with a demon in the form of a little girl....."

I haven't seen the trailer yet, but yeah, this looks great. Is this the story of the video game? Is this even connected to the video game? It must be.
I LOVE the idea of an alternate dimension that looks like a bastardized version of our world. Like yesterday's pic, very Grant Morrison (remember the inside of Crazy Jane's head?). For the same reason, I'm looking forward to Marebito.
Cool! I hope this is good. I also like Rhada Mitchell.
I can't wait for you to check out the trailer, it actually looks amazing! Parts of it play out like those Scenes in Hellbound: Hellraiser II that took place in hell. Other parts seem Ring-like with the creepy little girl thing going on. I'll post more info on this film as I come across it. This is the firs horror film in a long time that I'm actually getting excited about. Yes, it is based on the game, which I never heard of bsfore.
Do you guys ever look down here at the older posts? I think you do...
Anyway I just watched the hi-def trailer direct from Apple's QuickTime site. It's much better quality:

The movie looks great. Kind of like that Stephen King story, "Crouch End."
I don't remember Crouch End, which book did it come from?
It's in Nightmares and Dreamscapes, about a couple who wander into a bit of London that looks like London, sort of, but is actually a nearby dimension of Lovecraftian behavior. It is very like what Silent Hill looks like, although Lovecraft horror and Ringesque horror have a different stamp.
I loved Nightmares and Dreamscapes but somehow I missed this particular story. It sounds cool though.
