‘SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D’ Finally Has a Date to Terrify Audiences

Maybe I’m underestimating this franchise, but does anyone even remember the first Silent Hill movie?  The 2006 film had a phenomenal trailer and premise but really didn’t make much of an impact on me upon initial viewing even though I was a minor fan who played the first game.  I have told myself that maybe I need to give it another shot since there have been a few people that I have talked to that praise the adaptation of the popular video game series.  It has taken far too long for the film’s sequel to be made and even longer now since it failed to get picked up for distribution after being completed.  That has now all changed with the announcemnet by Open Road Films.  Silent Hill: Revelation 3D will be getting a wide release on October 26, 2012.  Just in time for Halloween and ready to do battle with the subsequent Paranormal Activity sequel.  Granted, that sequel comes out a week before Silent Hill, but it will still be interesting to see what does better the week of Halloween since not a single fright film was released that same weekend last year.

Michael J. Bassett is in charge of writing and directing duties on this installment who was last in charge of an entertaining film that unfortunately suffered in motion picture purgatory: Solomon Kane.  To this day that film has still not recieved a proper US release; although an all region DVD and a few Region 2 packages can be found on Amazon. A synopsis of Silent Hill: Revelation can be found below.  What is everyone’s opinion on the sequel? Are you excited about it?  Even though the first film came in at #1 its opening weekend and went on to make just under $47 million, do you think people will want to see a sequel to a film made six years ago?

In SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D, Heather Mason (Clemens) and her father (Bean) have been on the run, always one step ahead of dangerous forces that she doesn’t fully understand. On the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by horrificnightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she’s not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her forever.
