Pyramid Head will forever haunt my dreams. Silly, mutinous monsters don't do much for me these days. I want a monster that has many human characteristics so that I can relate in some way. When the human element is there it makes me feel as if the "monster" knows what it is doing is wrong, yet it chooses to kill anyway.

I work in video games and Silent Hill is a favorite of mine because the monsters were truly creepy. That odd combination of sexual, gory and the way many of the moved with an unnatural motion really created a sense of dread. Great games and the first Silent Hill movie was a good attempt to capture that. It fell flat in some ways but Pyramid Head and the Nurses translated well in the movie.

Isn't that right ::big grin:: I'm in the same boat. But I would like to see more Monsters. Everything is either zombies (which I love) but it get's tired. Or the Supernatural.

I love Pyramid Head. I wish he had more of a part in Silent Hill. Probably my favorite monster. I have included him in a lot of my artwork.

For me, the problem is that now graphics are so realistic, filmakers can show the entire creature/monster/alien, which obliterates most of the scare factor. In the days of practical effects, the limitation meant that it had to remain mostly hidden, and that was the key to its success. Compare Alien to Alien Ressurection. Classic vs. pure sh*t.
As for the hybrid aproach, that's what they did for the prequel of The Thing, and I really liked it.
Has anyone seen The Millennium Bug (2011)? It's another no CGI movie that tries to recreate the campy (albeit classic) practical effects used in the old monster movies. The movie itself, of course, it completely outrageous and over the top, but if you watch it for monster alone, it's a fun film.

I like the monster in the film the lake, simply because it isn't cgi, and it looks like some mad plastic angler fish!!

I believe They should go back to the original monster flims such as Dracula, Frankenstein, the mummy. Monsters of that sort because they were memorable, exciting and thrilling

Such a shame that it was straight to DVD release :(
I second this.
People in suits and fake blood. So much better than CGI.

It would be impossible for filmdom to fully satisfy my monster craving. The monster in the recent ANIMAL was pretty cool.

Universal is doing just that by creating a new "crossover universe" for all the classic monsters. The upcoming Dracula Untold is NOT part of this universe.

I thought this thread was about a "Monsters" sequel :P

He is my favorite character in Silent Hill and it would be awesome to see a movie focused on him.

I like both types of monsters (if they are represented correctly). I found Dr. Satan (House of 1,000 Corpses) to be an extreme "monster" but I thought the creature in Hypothermia was a joke. You have to make a monster believable or it just appears cheesy; I don't do "silly" monster movies.

The last sentence in your quote is exactly how I feel too.
