Silent Hill Heaven

An interesting interview, paladin181. Thank you for the link, though you did not have to on my account. Though I did see a specific date, other than as you said "these modern times", and as you said the Iphone was relatively new (Wiki says 2007), your argument holds weight and I concede to...

Year in which the game takes place.

But if Heather has Alessa's memories, how could she not know exactly what happened? See below about possible mental trauma. Why would she imagine Harry's appearance incorrectly? Artistic license on the part of the design team to make their characters distinct. I don't trust any of the characters' a...

I won't attempt to shoehorn the events of Shattered Memories into the events of Silent Hill 1 and Silent Hill 3, even if I do have a few ideas on how to do so, mainly because I've found that others would perhaps not to want to them. So I'll just say how I'd like to interpret this game. Nobody has to...

Now THAT'S an idea that could have gone far if explored.

As long as its not the dreadful comics, its cannon.

Now, suddenly the concept of a series of Silent Hill "expansion packs" based around scrapped ideas from each of the games sounds very appealing.

It could be a reference to Dean Koontz's Phantoms, which involved a town called Snowfield where the population mysteriously disappears. That and both Silent Hill and Phantoms involves a giant moth and similar bizarre creatures.

The floor reminds me of a grille, like a barbaque grille. Alessa was burned after all. Symbolism.

Let's see. Much of the monsters are just redone versions of ones from Sh2. Nurses: reference to the movie/Sh2. Alessa's fear of nurses. Perhaps Travis's sexual anxiety. Straight-Jacket: reference to the movie/Sh2. Mom's confinement to the sanitarium. Travis' doubts about his own sanity. Carrion: Roa...

Various fanfictions have speculated on the leave ending. Ryan Usher's story had James and Laura assuming new idenities and living happily with the rest of the world (including James' father) believing them disappeared or dead. Another story had James going all psycho and killing Laura as soon as the...

I haven't seen The Cell or The Omen, or read House of Leaves. But a lot of the things you mentioned, Denizen, are not unique to those sources you claim SH4 stole them from. I prefer 'influence'. Others have claimed theft and ripoff in reviews of Silent Hill 4. I meant nothing negative about my list...

Oh, and the Frightners (1996): ghosts, serial killer back from the dead looking to continute racking up victims and curving numbers in their flesh, even a giant embilical worm from hell glimpsed at the very end. As well as the "reaching-into-the-chest-and-stopping-the-heart." here walter w...

Well, for my own personal viewpoint, I'd have to say AuraTwilight sums it up nicely. The 21 Sacraments were completed successfully, therefore, for all the reasons detailed in the thread I linked above, we can logically assume that God is The Room. I would say there's an extra step involved. I think...

The Cell (2000): Sh4 has been called a ripoff of the Cell (2000), and this is an obvious one. Both involve two characters becoming trapped in a serial killer's personal world, where the killer rules like a king. The Patient/Nurses resemble Stargher's victims. The whole chalk-white, bleached look and...

I always saw the hanged men not as corpses, but rather statues representing gatekeepers to the Otherworld. They seem to appear every time Harry enters the Otherworld. The painting in the lounge has two of them on either side of a door, as if guarding it. Perhaps they represent the twin gods: Lobsel ...

It's enough to discredit your "Never called God" statement. My bad. Not to mention that yea, they're both called Demons in the first game/movie, but Dark Alessa will never be called God. That has yet to be seen. In the games the "Demon Samael" was worshipped. You don't worship s...

here's another question...alessa's body is in the basement of the hospital. So how come in the end she comes up out of the floor of the church? . Alessa got carried into the church by Rose's body. Think metaphysical reality altering stuff going on here. 'Course I consider this edvidence that Dark A...

"Was janitor colin the detective?"

No, you're confusing Colin (child molesting janitor of Midwich) with Officer Thomas Guccii (one of "the good people" of Silent Hill). They're also played by different actors.

I alway thought Nowhere is just called that because you can't find it on the map. I think its Alessa's Silent Hill that's now under the control of Dahila, and Dahila has erased everything she's deemed no longer nesscessary. That's why it's made up of places seen before, like parts of the Hospital, t...
