Bring your barf bags, kids!

Some of you horror vets might even get taxed on this one.

Amazon just reduced the price of my Silent Hill preorder from 19.99 to 16.99. This Blu Ray stuff is not only fun but cheap too.

Great price!

Sony sent me a copy today and I should have a review up tomorrow evening on the Spot. For those buying go ahead and setup your parental lock. I couldn't get the disc to play without both setting up parental lock and turning it on, at the highest setting (8=adult content allowed). I don't know if it's an authoring bug with the disc or a design bug with the Samsung.

As for the film, it played better for me this time than it did in theaters. Partially, because a 92" pic is more compact. Partly because the audio experience was night and day. It'll definately get reference marks for sound.

Wonder why they didn't do the parental stuff for Underworld Evo, it's gory as hell. Vampires getting their heads sliced in half left right and center.

Keep up the good work fella.

Chad Varnadore · 08-22-2006, 04:08 AM

It shouldn't matter if parental lock is off, what the content of the film holds. But, I couldn't get this one to play without both setting up parental lock (picking a password) and actually enabling the feature. Actually the first couple tries, I couldn't even get the disc to load. The first time I had to unplug the player, after I grew tired of watching the hourglass for about five minutes.

PurpleAardvark · 08-23-2006, 05:47 AM

I had the same problem. However the movie rocked for pic quality and sound. Just to be fore warned it is very gross at times.

I hear that guy with the cone on his head is ridiculous!

PurpleAardvark · 08-23-2006, 06:48 AM

There is a lot od detail. The end with the barb wire is pretty sick too. The monster with the metal cone is pretty cool too.If your into horror flicks this one is pretty good. it just isn't for the faint hearted.

baggani · 08-23-2006, 07:01 AM

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I guess it's a disc mastering problem. Thanks for the heads up everyone.. I'll set the parental lock and try to watch it then. long live Blu-ray.

What is wrong with Pyramid Head?

Anyway, it is a good movie. The Batman Begins of video game adaptations, but that doesn't make it the best. Resident Evil 1 and 2 still get the honor for best VG movies. Anyway, if you like the games, you should definitely like this movie. If you like horror movies and have not played the games, you should like everything but the ending (then again, I've played the games and still don't like the ending). If you hate horror movies, hate the video games, there is no hope.

PurpleAardvark · 08-23-2006, 02:59 PM

WHen he was talking about the guy with the cone on his head I think he ment this guy.

That's funny, because I didn't think Punisher was all that impressive at first. The beginning of the movie didn't look very good at all, although it did get better. Maybe I'll throw it back in today and give it another look.

Dr Kain · 08-25-2006, 04:39 AM

Which guy?

Anyway, who wants to bet that we will see Silent Hill Extended Edition in Dec?

Chad Varnadore · 08-25-2006, 04:40 PM

Gans has reported that he's happy with the cut as is and that the studio didn't make him cut it further because they were happy too.

So? This is Sony we are talking about. They want Sam Raimi to film additional scenes to Spider-Man 2 so they can release an EE DVD in April.
