I Will Never Forgive Konami for the Cancellation of Silent Hills

 


I don't think I will ever get over the cancellation of Silent Hills. This game was announced back in 2014, and a demo of the game was even placed on the PS4 console. The writers for the story were going to involve the creator of the Metal Gear Games and Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima, along with Guillermo Del Toro, who has directed and made a lot of fantastic horror/fantasy films. 

And then to top it off, we got Norman Reedus from The Walking Dead as the main protagonist of the game. 

So yes, I was obviously damn excited. 

And then the game was cancelled. 

It pisses me off what this game could have been. 

From the trailers I had seen, I was for sure not really vibing with the jump scares, but the rest of the game looked beautiful. I cannot imagine what sort of story was going to be written for this game. With two amazing writers that already have experience with horror-related media, and an actor from a zombie show...just what the hell happened???

This felt like it was going to be a perfect videogame...and it would have been quite the comeback for the franchise of Silent Hill. What a shame that we will never know what sort of masterpiece this game could have been...

So...yeah. I will never forgive Konami for this cancellation. 

But I also can't really stay mad at them, since they did bring back Silent Hill 2 as a remake years later. 

I got a love/hate relationship with Konami, I guess.

Pearl is a Wicked and Horrific Start to a Memorable Horror Trilogy

Image
  Credit to  Halloween Horror: Pearl (2022) — 3 Brothers Film Have you ever been so impressed by and scared of a character at the same time? Mia Goth pulls off such a likable character with terrifying tendencies of murder and mayhem. Pearl  is actually a prequel to one of my favorite horror films,  X , and is the middle chapter in a trilogy. This trilogy was directed by Ti West, and it featured Mia Goth playing two different characters, as both the antagonist and the protagonist in this trilogy. The prequel starts off Mia as the villain, Pearl. Unlike the protagonist, Maxine, that has her dreams come true, Pearl isn’t exactly given the same happy ending. If it hadn’t been for her killer self, maybe she would have had a chance in the ‘star world.’ Instead, we are given a total downfall of Pearl embracing her monstrous side, killing anyone that stands in her way. Pearl is determined to leave the farm and start a new life elsewhere, but her present life consumes her. I’...

The Final Season of 'You' Ends on a Powerful Note

Image
  Credit to Google This article will contain major spoilers of You season 5. I am beyond thrilled with how You ended. People have always been mixed on what they think of this show, but I have always loved the insanity of this crazy serial killer.  Joe Goldberg is such a complex character who thrives on the power of love and is willing to do whatever it takes for the next woman he falls for.  He never hesitates to murder anyone, including his love interest. If she stops loving him, he will not hesitate to murder her. That is the main reason why Joe is freaking scary. He will be your knight in shining armor, but once that image of love is taken from him, he will show his true nature.  I loved how the final season focused on Joe’s evil self. While the first four seasons purposely viewed his character sort of like an antihero, the final season does not hold back on Joe’s evil side. We get a new glimpse into his character this time around, because in the earlier seasons,...

Horror Movie Trailers Are Starting to Piss Me Off Again

Image
  Credit to Rotten Tomatoes  I went to the movies last night to go watch the film,  Babygirl . The movie surprised me in many ways, and I was left speechless multiple times. Like what the heck did I just watch?? Before the movie began, like in any theater, I was watching several trailers. I watched three horror movie trailers that caught my attention: 1. Companion is going to be released on January 31st.  Credit to Bloody Disgusting Even though I now have an idea what the movie is going to be about, not enough was shown for me to fully understand just what the hell was going on.  I won’t spoil anything here, because I know that this film is going to be a complete surprise to everyone. The premise is already so original! 2. Death of a Unicorn is going to be released sometime this year.  Credit to A24 The trailer showed enough for me to become invested, and I died of laughter in several scenes. The cast also looks really awesome, and the monster that will be...
