The First Silent Hill Film Is Still an Underrated Video Game Adaptation
I still remember my first experience with Silent Hill as a concept. I was 12, my older cousin had just purchased the first game in the franchise, and I sat next to him as he played, moving through this haunting, constantly dim world with nothing but a flashlight, playing as a character with no real special skills or sense of superhuman video game might. It was unsettling, surprising, and looking back on it now, it’s very easy to see why this game took the horror genre by storm within its chosen medium. Even now, nearly 25 years later, Silent Hill is synonymous with horror video game storytelling.
