Silent Hill Revelation 3D. Una Piramide Di Dolore a Ritmo Serrato Pubblicato Su Gothicnetwork.Org ( Silent Hill Revelation 3D. Una piramide di dolore a ritmo serrato Pubblicato su gothicNetwork.org (http://www.gothicnetwork.org) Silent Hill Revelation 3D. Una piramide di dolore a ritmo serrato Articolo di: Livia Bidoli [1] Sequel del primo Silent Hill diretto da Christophe Gans (Necronomicon, Patto dei lupi, Crying Freeman), questa pellicola in 3D diretta da Michael J. Bassett (Solomon Kane), e tutta ripresa dal terzo episodio del videogioco omonimo, torna con due dei protagonisti principali: Sean Bean nella parte del padre di Sharon, ovvero Christopher Da Silva qui noto come Harry Mason, e Rhada Mitchell in quelle della madre della ragazzina, Rose Da Silva. La prima attrice è invece la bravissima Adelaide Clemens che, anche in questo caso, è incaricata della doppia parte: la “buona” Heather Mason (nel primo episodio Sharon Da Silva) e Alessa Gillespie, il demone che infesta Silent Hill stavolta in 3D. La cortina fumogena di Silent Hill, come la madre di Alessa ricoperta di cenere, Dahlia Gillespie interpretata da Deborah Kara Unger, la stessa attrice che accoglie la madre di Sharon nel primo film, ci sono entrambe e la maledizione di questa collina ricoperta di odio, ricordi malsani, esseri orrendi e sfigurati, altrettanto. Pyramid Head, la Testa di Piramide (Rossa – Red Pyramid Head nel primo film), sbuca nell'Brookhaven Asylum (and Hospital), il manicomio dove il nonno di Vincent è rinchiuso dalla Setta (o Ordine) di Valtiel di cui ora è a capo la figlia, Claudia Wolf. Pyramid Head è una delle creature che, oltre a comparire come fil rouge in tutti i videogiochi della serie di Silent Hill a firma Konami, è tra i più impressi nella mente di chi ha giocato oppure ha visto il primo Silent Hill. Una sorta di punitore altissimo ed imponente, con un elmo sulla testa a forma di triangolo (o piramide appunto) particolarmente acuminato. Piramide Rossa, per via del colore del suo elmo triangolare e appuntito, è interpretato dal ballerino e coreografo italiano – che si è occupato anche del resto delle coreografie del film – Roberto Campanella. Silent Hill, anche in quersta versione 3D, è un luogo metafora di tormenti e psicosi riflesse sul paesaggio, sui muri ricoperti di sangue, macchie, ruggine, le Tenebre che avanzano di sera ed ingoiano tutto, le guardie della città con maschere a gas per non respirarne l'aria fetida: è l'Altromondo (Otherworld) che costeggia la Realtà nella vita di Heather – che ha cambiato nome insieme al padre Harry per sfuggire alla Setta di Valtiel che ne ha già imprigionato la madre, offertasi in sacrificio per lei. La sfera psicologica cui appartiene Pyramid Head è quella del binomio colpa-punizione: lui si aggira per colpire senza pietà e con eccessiva crudeltà sia mostri sia umani. Claudia Wolfe invece, qui interpretata da Carrie-Anne Moss (Matrix) è la madre perversa, colei che non tenta nemmeno di salvare suo figlio Vincent (l'attore Kit Harington), piuttosto ritiene giusto condannarlo e farlo soffrire secondo gli ordinamenti della setta che guida dal Santuario di Silent Hill. Il setting dei giochi, il Lakeside Amusement Park, è un luogo topico: metafora diretta dell'abuso dell'infanzia, è qui dove avverranno scene peculiari di questo nuovo appuntamento con Silent Hill. E, come in tutti i film horror, la faccia di pagliaccio che accoglie non ha nulla di tranquillizzante e tutto di disturbante come IT di Stephen King. ??www.gothicnetwork.org | www.gothicnetwork.it??? ©2008-2015 Testata giornalistica registrata c/o Tribunale di Roma n. 391/2008 del 20/11/2008 | Informativa cookies Pagina 1 di 2 Silent Hill Revelation 3D. Una piramide di dolore a ritmo serrato Pubblicato su gothicNetwork.org (http://www.gothicnetwork.org) A completare questo viaggio nei recessi occulti di un luogo dove nel Brookhaven Hospital troviamo delle sexy infermiere senza faccia che al minimo movimento ci fanno a pezzi con coltelli e strumenti affilati – uno dei momenti più ad alta tensione del film – oppure Malcolm MacDowell (Arancia meccanica di Kubrick) nella parte del cieco Leonard Wolfe, padre di Claudia nella parte dedicata alla cura delle psicosi – il manicomio -, la colonna sonora composta da Jeff Danna e Akira Yamaoka, che hanno contribuito sia al film sia al survival horror della serie di Silent Hill. Molto più ritmato registicamente rispetto alla pellicola di Gans, ha un demerito a livello narrativo, che fa meno coinvolgere nella storia, più sfocata della prima, guadagnando in azione ed effetti speciali. Vi consiglio di riunire il sigillo di Metatron prima di fidarvi ancora di qualcuno...e di farglielo toccare, prima di qualsiasi altro contatto “umano”, soprattutto dopo il film. La pellicola è R-rated (ristretta la visione per i minori di 17 anni da accompagnare in sala) per il mercato americano: siete stati avvertiti.

Now, on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by terrifying nightmares and her father’s disappearance, Heather discovers she is not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deep into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in Silent Hill forever. SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D is based on Konami’s acclaimed survival horror video game franchise, but the film takes us beyond a mere adaptation with a storyline ideal for the big screen. Although it is a sequel to the first film (SILENT HILL, directed by Christophe Gans in 2006), this new installment stands on its own for new audiences. It will not only provoke shivers but will undoubtedly strike a deep personal chord with many viewers, including those familiar with the SILENT HILL world and those just discovering it. Samuel Hadida produced the film as well as the first SILENT HILL film.

O foco deste trabalho será o enredo dos três primeiros jogos da série, repletos de referências mitológicas e religiosas.

Being a role-playing enthusiast, I tried to find any information I could on Silent Hill, and it’s monsters in order to begin a modern campaign set in the town; but aside from some monster stats which I discovered on various RPG forums, I was disappointed to find that nobody had compiled the information, and made it into a comprehensive guidebook. This book has been designed to give you all the information you need to run a campaign in the tainted town of Silent Hill, or simply add the locale into your existing Call of Cthulhu campaign. Because the D20 version of the Call of Cthulhu RPG has been out-of-print for years, and is hard to find, even used; I’m also including certain rules in the OGL Horror format, which is published by Mongoose Publishing, as that book should be easier to obtain than the D20 Call of Cthulhu book.

At least, not unless she runs MUCH faster... Dressed only in a loose-fitting night t-shirt and jogging pants she dashes past the broken down arcades and rusting rides of Lakeside Amusement Park. Long since abandoned and left to rust and decay. Heather stops running for a moment to look back at whatever it is that is hunting her in the shadows. Sees nothing but HEARS the SOUND of HEAVY FOOTSTEPS and the SCRAPING OF METAL AGAINST CONCRETE. She dives down for cover behind a derelict KIOSK. The leering face of a clown painted on the front stares down. Long dead goldfish float in discolored bowls. Prizes nobody won. One of the fish, upside down, still twists in its death throes. Nearby is the crumpled body of the GIANT PINK RABBIT mascot of the park. It stares, glassy eyed, into space. Now she hears FOOTSTEPS and heavy breathing. Closer now. When she looks back at the rabbit - its head is now turned to stare at her.

Proprio nel suo rifarsi alla ricca tradizione del fantastico otto-novecentesco e in ragio- ne di una ricercatezza estetica certamente inedita, tutta rivolta al conseguimento di una specifica tensione esitante che attraversa l’intera esperienza di gioco, la saga di Silent Hill costituisce uno degli esempi più riusciti di trasposizione del fantastico nel nuovo medium del videogioco. L’importanza fondamentale dell’aspetto spaziale, co- mune sia alla narrazione fantastica che al «testo» videoludico, trova espressione, con la cittadina immaginaria che dà il nome alla serie, in una delle più spaventose e iconi- che raffigurazioni dell’ambiente urbano, di un contesto, cioè, familiare e rassicurante che si trasforma in un inconcepibile crocevia di angoscianti mondi alternativi e di- mensioni da incubo che nel loro continuo sovrapporsi e sostituirsi alla realtà ne deter- minano l’inevitabile frantumazione, arrivando a negare la possibilità stessa di una sua rappresentabilità.
