Nice to see John come by again and join the conversation, it was a lot of fun to listen to. I just can't believe that in all the talk of horrible gaming movies nobody ever brought up Alone in the Dark. I hate Christian Slater, I hate Tara Reid, they are awful actors and annoying human beings, and they both team up in that movie in lead roles to make one of the worst movies possible. The only awesome thing about the Alone in the Dark movie is the soundtrack because it has Nightwish, Cradle of Filth, Dimmy Borgir, Lacuna Coil and other great heavy music on it.
I like the Silent Hill movie a lot. Radha Mitchell is one of the women on my freebie 5 we did not too far back, I love her in that movie. I also really love the visuals and the music in the Silent Hill movie. The first Resident Evil movie was too tame for me. I like the more raw effects, gore, and grittiness in zombie movies like Dawn of the Dead and 28 Days Later. RE1 was just too sleek and clean for me, but that's how I think those movies all are. The RE movies are more flashy and sexy and the small bits of gore they show don't have the impact they should have. The gory scenes are more focused on choreography, 3-D, slow-mo, or flashy super human nonsense and less on the fact that you're killing something or surviving. You can show gore sparingly, but when you do show it you have to knock it out of the park, otherwise what's the point of a zombie movie? It's suppose to be morbid, make you contemplate survival and see cannibalism, death, murder, disease etc. If you're not making something raw and shocking that makes you wonder what you would do in the character's situation, a movie that makes you want to survive and makes you glad you're alive, you're not doing a good zombie movie.
I like the all the anime I've seen that's based on video games like Dead Space, Halo Legends, Resident Evil Dengeneration, and some others, but that's another topic.
