The sequel movie, on the other hand, had a couple familiar-looking characters and settings, but nothing in common with the series. Apparently the surreal and psychological horror elements flew right past the filmmakers, because this is just dumb horror movie fodder painted to look like a chintzy video game.
Holy shit revelations sucked. Heck, the first movie was good. It was loyal to the spirit of Silent Hill but still cinematic, even my friend who never played SH liked it. In fact, he said the whole mother-daughter connection in the plot was genius. I thought so too; Rose was a good character. Very unlike the dull quite emotionless Harry.
But revelations was epic fail. I still can't believe they turned Vincent into a friggin teenager with a crush on Heather. Who the **** thought bringing in cheesy teen-romance into SH3's plot would make it better. Heather is a lonely, depressed, dark and somewhat mysterious character. The actress' portrayal of her was good, it was the plot changes that screwed everything up. Valtiel was removed for a reintroduction of Pyramid Head; Claudia turning into a cenobite-like creature;
And worst of all, the Seal of Metatron as a central artifact?
The whole point of SH3 was that contrary to what Leonard believed, the seal was absolutely worthless. It's like SH3 in an alternate dimension, which sucks.
