Silent Hill is one of the most memorable survival horror games ever made. They get weirder with every iteration but they still stay scary. The franchise has tried to break into movies, with mixed results. Silent Hill: Requiem is the latest attempt and the crowdfunded film is taking the game to movie franchise in a whole new direction.

Viewers may notice something a little off about the film. In that the two minute trailer, it doesn't actually look like a film at all. It very heavily resembles a game's cut scene. This was done purposely by Gareth Morgan, the writer/director of this eerie take on the popular game. It almost has a Sin City feel to it.
According to Dread Central, the premise of the new film is that the Otherworld has broken free of its constraints and is bleeding into our world. People who have faced the madness of Silent Hill before (and survived) are brought back to try and fight its return. It is set in present times.

The first Silent Hill movie adaptation came out in 2006 and was followed by a not so great sequel. It did have Pyramid Head and Jon Snow though, so there was that. The first game however, came out in 1999 and the first movie roughly follows it.
Silent Hill: Requiem was crowdfunded and is being produced by Zenithfilms. It appears to be their first full length feature. There's no word on when the film will come out but it is currently in post-production. Check out the trailer below.
