Summary

Val returns to the podcast once again to discuss 2006's supernatural horror film "Silent Hill" adapted from the Konami published game series and directed by Christophe Gans. They talk about how the movie captures the thematic vibes of the game franchise, comparisons and differences from the source material, and how the creative team got involved with a video game adaptation. They also get into why Sean Bean's subplot doesn't work, the horror of the final confrontation, and many other aspects of the movie. Aaron and Derek are looking at the map.
