    I have not played the games, only having observed a little bit of play. I definitely don’t know the story.

    I enjoyed the first movie. Some parts of it were really great and there are some slog moments that I will even skip past now. Overall though, the first is a guilty pleasure. I can’t recall a lot about the second movie except that I hated it. Kit Harrington was super hard to watch, some weirdness with CGI stuff in the end, and something about the big sword boi really upset me. I don’t think I ever watched the second flick again.

    I want this new one to be either good for the fans or if it misses then at least fun like the first one was. I really do need to give the remake a try, but I am such a chicken for interactive horror.

      I’ve honestly only played the OG version of Silent Hill 2 (still need to play the remake).

      The first movie was indeed pretty well made. It wasn’t spectacular, but it worked well as a horror movie and I thought it treated the source material with respect.

      The second movie was notably lower in quality, but I still enjoyed it. That being said, I can watch almost any horror movie. There are many horror movies that are perceived to be even worse than the second one and I still find them entertaining.

      I will probably even go watch this in the cinema if English language screenings will be available.
