'Silent Hill: Shattered Memories' Review - Flashlight In The Pan!

16 hours ago | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »

The original "Silent Hill" is a bona fide classic. It isn't the first example of a survival horror game, but it's one of the best. And it spawned a series that still continues to today, right up to Konami's recently released "Silent Hill: Shattered Memories." A return to the first game's story, "Shattered Memories" allows players to relive the initial trip to that creepy town with new, Wii-powered visuals and a fresh approach to the gameplay.

The Basics

"Silent Hill: Shattered Memories" is essentially a rehash of the first game. The setup is at least: Harry Mason and his daughter Cheryl are knocked out in a car crash at the opening. When Harry comes to, Cheryl is gone and his memory is fuzzy, confused. From there, the story veers sharply off course as players investigate the town of Silent Hill in their search for the missing child.

Brittany Murphy's Uso Tour Appearance, 'Avatar' In 3D And 'Toy Story 3' Finished In Today's Twitter-Wood

22 December 2009 3:30 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Brittany Murphy and "Avatar" look poised to dominated Twitter-Wood's thoughts this holiday week, even if most of the tweeters are leaving their offices to tweet from home and last-minute shopping expeditions right now. Alyssa Milano retweeted a photo taken when she and Murphy appeared on a Uso tour together, reflecting on the time they spent there. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Banks, Samm Levine and David Spade all had different reactions to "Avatar" in 3D.

You can sort out what they had to say after the jump along with a former "Saved By the Bell" star's denial of drunken behavior, Kevin Smith's response to a tweeter about his wife's Playboy photos and former Karate Kid Ralph Macchio on whether or not he plans on coming back to "Ugly Betty." It's all retweeted in the Twitter-Wood report for December 22, 2009.

Terror Tidbits (Fango #290): Mad About The Crazies

21 December 2009 10:00 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Blam! Brains and blood splatter the windshield of a big rig as the character who just took a shot to the head flies backward, slamming down on the concrete. Elsewhere in the truck bay/workshop, the smell of burning flesh hangs heavy in the air (actually, the chemical stench of a previously safely-on-fire stuntman). Gunfire echoes in the hangar-sized building; “Cut!” is called, playback watched, and then on to another setup on the remake of George A. Romero’s The Crazies.

It’s a slightly nippy March night in Georgia, and day 12 of the nine-week shoot on the latest gruesome facelift of a ’70s horror movie, being directed on a significantly higher budget by Breck Eisner (whose credits include Sahara and Fear Itself’s The Sacrifice). Having an estimated $25 million to play with gives Eisner the opportunity to take Romero’s core concept and give it an action-packed approach the »

Check out 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' star Jodelle Ferland in 'Wonderful World'

21 December 2009 5:15 PM, PST | Twilight Examiner | See recent Twilight Examiner news »

The littlest cast member of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Jodelle Ferland, is no newcomer to the film world. You might remember her as "Jeliza-Rose" in Tideland and "Sharon" in Silent Hill. Of course, she's been in quite a few other pictures over the years as well, including Good Luck Chuck, The Messengers (with Kristen Stewart), and Seed. One of her films, Wonderful World with Matthew Broderick and Sanaa Lathan, opens in theaters on January 8th, according to MTV, and a clip of Jodelle Ferland's performance a »

Games: Review:Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

20 December 2009 10:00 PM, PST | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »

The biggest question about Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is why it has that name. It’s billed as a “re-imagining” of the first title in the groundbreaking psychological horror franchise, but that’s a bit generous—it revisits the premise of Harry Mason’s search for his missing child following a car crash, but otherwise, there’s little to recognize. Even the titular town, known for being alternately foggy and rusty, has been reconceptualized as a town of perpetual snow that ices over when things get scary. And things get wonderfully scary. Shattered Memories accomplishes a significant feat in making »

'Crazies' Remake Gets a New Trailer

12 December 2009 9:20 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

Courtesy of Overture Films, Yahoo Movies! has just released a new trailer for the upcoming horror film The Crazies, director Breck Eisner's remake of the 1973 George A. Romero flick. You can watch the trailer using the player below.

The story concerns the inhabitants of a small Kansas town who are beset by death and insanity after a plane crash lets loose a secret biological weapon into the water supply.

This remake feels very old school to us, invoking the sort of cerebral, atmospheric scare tactics that always work better than buckets of blood and sudden appearances by knife-wielding masked freaks. It's a better offering than the first trailer, which didn't really seem to give us much substantive sense of what was going to happen in the film. This trailer does a much better job of that.

Starring Timothy Olyphant (Hitman), Radha Mitchell (Silent Hill) and Danielle Panabaker (Friday the 13th »

Keith Arem Goes From Call of Duty to Frost Road

1 December 2009 11:51 PM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

There has been very little immigration between the worlds of videogames and films, but that doesn’t stop Keith Arem, director of the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, from trying to direct a large motion picture.  According to Variety, this film is called Frost Road, which is the story about a young man who is immune to a contagion that is sweeping through a small east coast town. Arem is also collaborating on a graphic novel version with c-creator Brandon Humphreys and illustrator Christopher Shy. Variety discusses some of Arem’s credentials: As talent director on the game, Arem was responsible for directing, casting and engineering all of the actors for the game, which included 50 Cent, Barry Pepper, Kevin McKidd, Keith David, Billy Murray and Lance Henriksen. Through Pcb, Arem has also done game development for the “Lord of the Rings,” “Spider-Man,” “Rainbow Six,” “Silent Hill,” “Prince of Persia, »

Conspiracy! Greengrass Says No More Bourne And Call Of Duty Director To Now Direct Movies.

1 December 2009 10:55 PM, PST | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »

If there's one thing I love, it's good old fashioned conspiracy theories. Nothing like making a bunch of stuff up to make yourself feel better and give those around you a reason to think you're even more insane than they had imagined.Two stories broke today that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Or do they?First up, is the so not news of a director not doing a movie he was never attached to direct in the first place. Huh? The trades has more:Paul Greengrass has opted out of helming another installment of Universal Pictures' successful Jason Bourne franchise, and Matt Damon's participation is not sealed. That's a blow for the studio looking to assemble another sequel to one of its most important franchises, but hardly a fatal one.

Video Game Director Keith Arem Heading to Frost Road

1 December 2009 4:59 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Now here's a switch -- instead of turning a video game into a movie, a heralded video game director has been tapped to direct a feature film, and he's even written the script himself!

According to Variety Keith Arem, director of Activision Blizzard's blockbuster sequel 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' will make his feature directing bow on 'Frost Road', an action thriller that Cary Brokaw (Hammer Films' The Resident) will produce along with Steven L'Heureux. Brokaw will produce through his Avenue Pictures shingle, while L'Heureux will work through his Solipsist Films.

Arem (whose gaming credits also include Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man, Rainbow Six, Silent Hill, Prince of Persia, Guitar Hero, and more) will co-produce through his Pcb Productions, and in addition to writing the script, he and Brandon Humphreys are developing the project as a graphic novel with Christopher Shy illustrating.
