My point exactly. If this continues, horror might soon find itself as a sub-category of the Action or the Sci-Fi genre. There wont be anything left which can be categorised as pure horror anymore.

I hope someone from New Line or Village Roadshow is realising it as we speak, and is going to do something about it...

Nah, real horror films are still being made. Silent Hill, Hills Have Eyes, When a Stranger Calls, Boogeyman, The Skelleton Key...sure, they might not be the greatest movies, but I think they're safe proof that horror is and will always be it's own genre.

Horror has been known to borrow into other genres, as well. Look at Evil Dead 2, a great blend of comedy and horror. Same goes for countless other films that have their roots in horror but have other themes involved. Even though genres can and often do cross and blend with each other, the original genres will always exist.

Silent Hill

SPOILER******************************************* ************************************************** ************************************************** ************************************************** ************************************************** ************************************************** ********************* Spoiler brought to you by Bob Payne


Somebody explain this movie to me. The ghouls/demons were totally awesome, very freaky. But I had no idea what was going on. I mean I get the fact that the little girl got fried and she turned evil, but that was about it. What happened in the end? Where they in some kind of altered reality where the Mom could stay with the kid? And if so, how the hell did they get there? They just drive to west virginny and bam they cross the reality boarder? I don't know.

Its common courtesy to slap a spoiler warning on this thread. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that they were dead the whole movie. Their car crashed, so they died. And the female police officer crashed into the guard rail, so she was dead too.

Sorry, I don't know what a spoiler is or I would have posted one. You want to tell me so I don't fuck it up next time?

If it's like the games, then they wouldn't be dead just in some alternate reality/dimension. This is what I think, and that they never got out of it and must exist just beyond our reality/dimension.

yes, i know so much is so ordinary, so coarse, and so vulgar. but survival is simply not enough. nowhere near.
what's the point of surviving? survive what? don't you realize you're going to die? f*ck your missions, your crusade.
i demand and expect quality.
right now, once and for all.

I watched it 3 times so far and I still think that they are traped in an alternate reality. See the evil girl or demon that gave Ellisa her powers said in the the flash back that the Sharron was the good part of Ellisa. The demon also said that she was the daughter of Ellisa. So this could be taken 2 ways. Sharron is literaly the daughter of Ellisa or Sharron is literaly the good half of Ellisa meaning that the demon represents the evil half of Ellisa and when the 2 come together they become one. See right before the end you see the demon come to Sharron and Sharron opens her eyes brifly and then the demon is right in her face then Sharron faints. If you notice Sharron has some different qualities to her after this experience. She now has the sinister stare that the demon had when she looks down at Ellisa's mother. There are a lot of camera shots on Sharron after the event that show that something is different about Sharron.
Another reason I believe that they are in an alternate reality is that Chris can still get their phone calls even though its stacky.
Lastly, when the demon first approached Ellisa at the hospital her offer was that the town would fall into her darkest nightmare, thus impying that Ellisa has control over reality as she chooses.

Nice call.


Is it just me, or did silent hill 2 or 3 involve a man goingto silent hill because he recieved a phone call from his wife 3 years after her death?
