Which ending is canon is silent hill 2?
There is really no specific canon ending. What you get is what you get. However I've heard rumors and I myself think it's the "in water" ending. It fits the story the best and is the official ending of the Silent Hill 2 novel.
Silent Hill: Help understanding Alessa?
So, unfortunately..I saw the movie many years ago. I always loved the concept of Silent Hill, but I never had a PS1..So I could really never play the first. I always wanted to. So of course..Ten years later, as a young adult..Today, I just beat Silent Hill after buying it off PSN. Its confusing to understand, what with the way I'm used to the movie, which..I know most fans think the movies stupid as hell. I do too, but..It was all I had back then, you know? So, the movie portrayed Alessa as pretty much some demonic girl who wants vengeance by bringing it upon outsiders. But in the game, she's..Really just the victim, isn't she? I beat the game, and I read the wiki all the time. Why would Dahlia burn her own daughter? In the movie, it was told through a series of flashbacks in which she was burned for being a witch. But in the game? So far, what I can make out is..The only reason she was burned was because her mom was a f*ckin' lunatic! Like..Seriously..What the hell, lady? And then it talks about how Alessas soul was split in two, and..i don't know. The whole talk about souls and apparitions kind of confuses me. Especially in the final battle. There's Alessa, Cheryl, and then they turn into this white gleaming lady..Who then turns into a winged demon. So then what happened to Silent Hill that made it to where its abandoned? The movie said it was a fire that did it. The game? Doesn't really give a clear answer.
Many and many questions about Silent Hill :D?
Silent Hill 1: That I remember, always played a siren. Where was it, and for? Silent Hill 1: Alessa in Silent Hill 1 was 14 years old, right? When she delivers Heather to Harry, she looks like an adult? Silent Hill 1: What is the meaning of this symbol? Lol, I forgot http://www.platformnation.com/wp-content ... Silent Hill 2: The real ending is ‘’In Water’’, right? Silent Hill 0: Travis is actually the Butcher? Silent Hill 0: At the beginning of the game, Alessa says to Travis: ''Let me burn''and when he's leaving the house, she helps him to scape. Why? She didn’t want to be burned? Silent Hill 0: I read that in fact, Travis was killing people instead of monsters. Everything was an illusion? And the cult? And Alessa? o_o Silent Hill 0: In the bad ending, there was a person with Travis. Who was it? A person from the cult, ou just a doctor? Silent Hill 0: When the last boss was ‘’born’’, why people from the cult runned away? That was not what they wanted? Silent Hill 0 and 1: Who exactly is Samael? Where is it mentioned? And what or who is Flauros? Where is it mentioned? SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH :D Oh, and why people say that Silent Hill 4, Origins, Homecoming and Shattered Memories are like ****? lol
Resident Evil series canon question relating to the live action movies?
Okay, I'm like...the #1 RE fan and I saw this question. =P No, the live action films are NOT canon. The ONLY film that is canon is Resident Evil: Degeneration - It is a sequel to RE2, basically. The live action films completely distorted the plot in the games, really. A lot of the facts are twisted and the extra characters really mess up the true storyline. The Hive and the Red Queen AI are probably the only things in the movies that could logically be tied in with the games. The live action movies are NOT CANON in any way. Hope this helps. If you need more information, or need me to elaborate, you can e-maul me. =P super_shania@msn.com
Can someone explain the religion of silent hill(film) please?
I'd definitely say a plot hole. Since the sequel's director (Michael J. Bassett) allegedly wasn't fond of the first movie and was determined to shove in references from the games, it resulted in the canon between the two movies being a mess. Bassett basically went off on his own, disregarded the rules, plot devices, etc. established by the first movie's director (Christophe Gans) and created his own canon, which changed or outright contradicted the first movie in many ways. So because of this, I'd say it seems that there are now two different cults. The cult in the first movie was a fanatical Puritan-like sect that believed that any deviation from their ways, such as having a child out of wedlock like Dahlia, was a sin and that the sin must be purged (translation: they believed the result of Dahlia's sin, Alessa, was born of evil and therefore must be burned). The sequel features a different cult altogether. This cult appears to be more like The Order from the games and wants to birth a "god" using Heather. So yeah - long story short, the first movie's cult wants to rid the world of anything or anyone they deem evil. The sequel's cult wants to birth their malevolent god.

What is the video game silent hill about?
Silent Hill is a 7 (going on 8) video game franchise developed by Konami. The only main, evident connection between all games is that they all take place in or around the town of Silent Hill. The town is shrouded in fog and mostly abandoned. Each game has a character go (voluntarily or accidentally) and get trapped in Silent Hill, where his/her fears (or another person's) take the shape of horrible monsters, which he/she must confront in orther to survive and manage to cope with some sort of trauma. Additionally, the town houses a demonic cult known as The Order that is bent on bringing about the birth of their god and the coming of the endtime. Typically, you must stop them too. Silent Hill Origins, Silent Hill 1 and Silent Hill 3 follows three different characters as they confront The Order and the psychic child Alessa. The Order sacrifices Alessa to bring about the coming of their god, which sort of "curses" the town with the powers mentioned above. Alessa and her powers are recurring throughout the series. Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 4 The Room and Silent Hill Homecoming work independently. 2 follows a widower looking for his (dead and how?) wife, 4 locks a man in his apartment and has him confront an undead serial killer and Homecoming follows the disappearence of children in a coming-home soldier's hometown, near Silent Hill. Outside the SH canon: Silent Hill Shattered Memories is a very loose "remake" of the first game. An eight is scheduled for this year. Also, any number of cell phone game spin-offs and arcade games.
What other horror films are like Silent Hill?
The Mist — Based off of the Stephen King short story that influenced Team Silent's creation of games 1 & 3. Its director, Frank Darabont, would later run the first season of The Walking Dead; and the actors of Andrea, Carol, and Dale had already appeared in this film as well. More importantly, there is a very Dahlia Gillespie–ish character that is only missing the face of Sarah Palmer from Twin Peaks and the town of Silent Hill's mystical power. The titular fog that shrouds the town and the Lovecraftian creatures that emerge from within are also great sources of inspiration for the original Silent Hill games.Jacob's Ladder inspired the Otherworld and Nowhere that the town of Silent Hill is famous for transforming into, as well as the subway segment of SH3; the main character and heavy psychological elements of SH2; and the motive the main character of SH3 develops for going to the town. I cannot stress enough how much like the original Silent Hill games this movie is.Carrie, another Stephen King book adapted to film, was a third major inspiration for Team Silent when they were creating the first and third games. Her plight is very similar to game-canon Alessa's backstory. Comparisons to the first movie can be drawn to some extent as well.The Void — This somewhat recent movie is also like SH1 in so many ways. Listing the similarities would spoil things, so I'll leave it at that. It made the rounds on Netflix last year, which is how I found it; but it isn't on there anymore, or on Hulu or Amazon Prime.III: The Ritual is a Russian horror film that actually approximates the Silent Hill movies more than the books, though I find its narrative more compelling and its acting much better. I found this also through Netflix, but it is currently available to rent on Amazon.Eraserhead, from acclaimed avant-garde/surrealist director David Lynch, lent some of the more eccentric parts of the games, as well as the whole idea of a world built around one's greatest fears and anxieties. The comparisons are less direct, but this is worth a watch as well. (David Lynch's TV series Twin Peaks is far more of a direct influence on Silent Hill; and though it's not a film, I highly suggest watching it, to see where various themes of SH1–2 come from.)
What video game do you think deserves a reboot on today's current game systems?
Doom (2016) and Tomb Raider (2013) were both outstanding reboots of old franchises that showcased how good a contemporary interpretation of a classic game could be on modern engines with improved graphics & gameplay mechanics. There are many old games and series that would benefit equally well from a remake or reboot; among them, I’d be most excited to see:Final Fantasy VII - the remake that’s been teased at for years should be developed to completion and finally released. While I don’t like the idea of the episodic format that’s been floating around, it would allow the development team more time to work on this massive undertaking and get it out piece by piece. FFVII is a masterpiece of storytelling that would be a guaranteed best seller as it has a huge built-in fanbase as well as a younger audience who deserves to be exposed to this. Final Fantasy VI (III) and Chrono Trigger are other old-school RPG masterpieces that would be amazing remakes.Metal Gear Solid would be very interesting remade with the Fox Engine utilized by MGSV, and the unique stealth gameplay, stellar art direction, and memorable plot (especially the eccentric villains who are all brimming with personality) would be a treat to experience in a modern context. It along with Metal Gear Solid 3 are the best games in the series, both deserving of modern treatment.Resident Evil 4 is one of the best games of all time, featuring frenetic action, a massive variety of levels with ingenious designs, and tons of scares & thrills. The gameplay was already ahead of its time when it was first released, and Capcom has proven that they can develop a great remake with 2018’s Resident Evil 2, which featured an over-the-shoulder camera reminiscent of RE4. I feel that Resident Evil 4 should be next on their list of games to develop using the RE Engine (RE7, RE2 Remake, DMC5), though it’s likelier that Resident Evil 8 or an RE3 remake will be their next undertaking in the franchise.Silent Hill and especially its sequel are outstanding games that helped invent & further the survival-horror genre, and they would interpret well in a modern context. The series began to go downhill after the third game, but the first two in particular are fantastically written and feature thick, foreboding atmosphere and an emphasis on psychological horror that would fit right in with newer survival-horror gems like Alien: Isolation and Outlast.(Photos are from fan-made mods with textural improvements)
