How do the creators of the Silent Hill games feel about the movie?
From Akira Yamaoka, Musical Composer and Executive Producer of both the film and Silent Hill 2, 3 and 4 console titles:”After seeing the film, I think that Christophe has really expressed the elements of Silent Hill, and he’s really kept the themes alive in this new medium. Silent Hill is not just a horror game, there is human drama rooted very deeply in the story, and I feel that he expressed that very well with the visuals, sounds, and atmosphere in the film. By watching the film, I feel that you’ll get a clearer and deeper understanding of the world of Silent Hill, more so than simply playing the games….I’ll probably be very influenced by Christophe’s film. I don’t like to call my work “videogames,” I prefer to call it “interactive entertainment.” And Silent Hill is one of the titles that I’ve worked upon where I tried to take that approach, and after seeing this work on the film, I’ve witnessed many ideas that I can use in my future works.” (Source: http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntr
