There is a videogame (please don't leave, bear with me for 2 minutes) for the Sony Playstation, entitled "Silent Hill". It is a "Survival-Horror" game, sort of like Resident Evil. Only this is the scarriest game I have ever played, and it is worthy to be made into a horror movie.

Harry Mason, father of one child, experiences stuff that we can't even dream of. On the anniversary of his wife's death, his daughter and him take a trip to their favorite vacation spot (or it used to be), Silent Hill to take a break from their stress. The weather is somewhat different, it is snowing heavily. And right by the town, Harry gets into a wreck when some "woman" pulls right out in front of his speeding car. When he wakes up, the snow stopped. And his daughter is missing. He gets out of the car, and moves towards the town, searching to his daughter. He soon realizes, after tons and tons of freaky shit that scars people for life, that this town that his whole family used to live, has died. It has gone to "Hell", so to speak. There are 2 dimentions in the town: The Hell dimention, and the empty dimention. The Hell dimention is where all of the freaky shit takes place. The other "normal" dimention is just one big deserted city. The town switches between the two with little or no warning, and there is no pattern to follow. He finds normal people, who haven't gone through the "switch" yet, and they all try to figure out and escape the town.

But whats so special about this game is the freaky locations (and the locals) and the imagery. Harry finds an abandoned elementary school, and to his suprise, children are still attending school. Except they have no skin and carry butcher knives around, writing out freaky messages on the walls in their victims blood. There is even a hospital he goes to...with nurses that still want to treat their patients.

I can really see a movie out of this. It is extremely freaky, has a solid scary story (you can do lots of stuff with it), and the videogame score is just as freaky as the game.

Glad I freaked somebody out. I thought this was a cool idea, and I wanted to get into the hororr forum more, so I thought of a topic. I thought it was going to get more than 1 reply...heh.

Anyway, thanks for the critique!

No, No...I spelled it wrong.

Geez, I come to see that my topic has gotten a new reply by someone, and it was just Mr. SpellCheck. LOL.

I heard rumors about a new movie coming out in the future based on a video game like Resident Evil or Tekken or something like that.

Resident Evil paid homage to the great George Romero movies, but Silent Hill pays homage to any movie that still haunts your dreams. This is one twisted video game.

Gotta agree with Gore 4 All -- Resident Evil is akin to ye ol' classic zombie flicks (fun 'n' gore), whereas Silent Hill was just plain outright grab-yer-gonads evil (picture something like "Event Horizon" set in a small town on a bad acid trip)

I agree. Silent Hill is the only video game I've ever played that I would not let a child play. The Resident Evil stuff is so silly, for the most part, that it gives an almost cartoony feeling to the player. Blowing 5 Zombie heads off at once (the morgue scene in RE2), come on...But there is stuff in Silent Hill that is actually terrifying.
I've read an interview with the guys who are making Silent Hill 2 for the PS2, and have seem some screenshots. It looks far more twisted and wrong. I can't wait. It should be out in the US this fall.

I downloaded the trailer for Silent Hill 2 (trailers for video games, man how far they have come). This 2 minute clip alone freaked me out and I am rarely scared of anything. This game is going to kick serious ASS!!!
