damn, good ass video yo!

I love this video, thank you VB. IMO Gans is up there with Uwe Boll on the Mt. Rushmore of absolute dogshit directors.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Long Void Vid!

I know it's not kosher to make comments on a video partway through watching it, but I just realized something about original SH2's James's performance: He sounds an awful lot like William H. Macy when he angry acts.

awwwwww!!! This is so awesome thank you for telling me lol

@chipcheezum.bsky.social meant to include you too because you know, Shadow, Chog-adjacent

honestly I think I may mind SHR3D the least because at least it's fun to fucking watch lol also they didn't change THE LITERAL PROTAGONIST, where as the other two films did. a low bar but still

Maria's costume would look great on a 35 trying to get back into cosplay, but boy does it look off. Like all the costume design looks off in a way that is uncanny and kinda cheap looking, but I do not think it was intentional.

I'll have to bookmark this. I've not seen other videos of yours (yet!) but I can't help but notice the pink tint to your hair, like Maria!

That really got me too 😂

Nice! thank you kindly for saying so!!!

Aw hell yea it was really good

YESSSS

I will have to watch it after work. Looking forward to it.

Hey you absolutely crushed it, what a great video! It shows that you had a lot of fun with this one, lots of fun editing gags 👌👌👌 Also the thumbnail cracks me up! "Not media litterate" with the arrow is so good 😂

Ugh, Chip said this happened to him too but the channel wasn't even eligible for ads at the time?! And now that it is, it said the video was ineligible to monetize anyway! Nobody else has brought this up yet, I will look into this further thanks for bringing it up my attention 😞🫠

Only real way to get through this movie is a full theater-half confused couples, the other half enjoying the SLOW car crash.

THANK YEWWWW lol

That Ganz Angela theory reveal is a jaw dropper.

I haven't had the chance to watch yet. But that title made me laugh

I found this vid in a retweet and liked it a lot! Great work! I was so mad about this movie :D

dawwwwwwwwww (but also i feel old now lol) thank youuuu

P.S. thank you for the Centralia rant too.

Watched it in one go. Loved it. Thank you! o7

Thank you so much for this video, I've been waiting for it and it truly encapsulates so much that went wrong making this movie. Also, yes please do a follow up on Silent Hill Revelation 3D: Revenge of the Sith. I would have happily watched a 3 hour video covering the whole trilogy of error.

thank you for the catch!!! <3

I think that "Mother is God in the eyes of a child" quote is Avery stealing/paraphrasing this scene from The Crow www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6sz...

Lol okay that's a really funny title

the maria painting room scene is diabolical work i think this man hates silent hill

It took me a couple of minutes to tell a friend what this video was called because I kept laughing/wheezing about the title too hard to keep speaking. Excellent video, genius title.

Finally finished this video with my husband. Really, really funny video, and great fit! Glad no one spoiled Mary Maria Angela Eddie Pyramidhead for me, insane shit.

There's so much that's left nebulous, and Gans is over here like "Nah, everyone's Mary"

SHE'S HIS EX GIRLFRIEND NOW??

Yo Davis Films it’s NOT too late to recall all the bluray versions and put this as a bonus material

I've heard really good things about it!

I've already subjected myself to Revelations though, I'm all in on the pain train. I did have to turn off Return the first time I tried to watch it, could not get over how tonally wrong the opening is.

Going from Brotherhood of the Wolf to this is just depressing man

Never Forget

Oh beans, finally got to watching and this is *SO* good! Thank you for the awesome essay VB!

oh i missed this, that's good lol

!

i finished watching this yesterday and what a video. what a movie...the reveal of the director's take on The Existence and Meaning of the women in SH2 genuinely made me grip my head

I haven’t seen the movie, but I feel like this video is a much better use of my time.

this was great, glad to see you in a place to do this kinda stuff again. also psyched about seeing people whose authorial voice i like get into writing!! i hope publishers bite & if they don't that the selfpub mines are worth braving to get it out there

did he have his eyes or ears open when playing the game at all? did he even play it? because im starting to think he didn't! (also shout out to @bobvids.com for the excellent voiceovers and vivi for being cute)

This is the first movie that I ever walked out of.

I can't believe I wrote "how could it be more wrong" and I hadn't even gotten to the part where she ASKS HIM TO KILL HER

hahahah thank you 😊

isthisanything

Eddie didn't even get to eat his pizza smh

Everyone's talking about the content of the critiques. Not enough people talking about how fire the fit is.

I just recently watched Return to Silent Hill and I knew I was in for a treat when I saw a matte painting in a 2026 movie. It is such a fucking trainwreck that misses on every conceivable level. I have not been so happy watching a movie in quite some time.

lmaoooo

I loved your video! Very cathartic. I really like your excellent sound and video editing in every one of your videos! (And thank you for removing the flashing light bits from THAT scene!)

Awesome video VB, thanks for not self censoring heavy topics! I appreciate your hard work!

lol whoops (i was also kinda shocked upon listening to the recording how NOT like myself i sounded, doing that fucking voice in the back of my throat lol)

Just seeing this now and can't wait to watch it. I still can't get over how Eddie showed up for one scene in the movie just to punch James and run away.

A couple days after watching your vid I'm still reeling over the fact that Gans legit thinks the Mary/Laura/Angela thing wasn't something he made up. Does make his insistence that he's being "faithful to game" make a tiny bit more sense, at least?

Dude that's one of the ultimate sins of it! It's not even funny bad, it's just BAD

I was on a podcast where folks were convinced this was ALL done on a green screen and I'm like "no a lot of it was real but they just made it really really really ugly in post for some reason 😩" lol

Oh hell yeah let's go it's time for some well-earned film criticism

Yes to all this!!! I refused to see this pile of slop, so thank you for your suffering so I could watch this and positively validate at least one of my life choices. Why can we not have nice things when it comes to Silent Hill? *screams out in Cristopher Gans objectification*

I paid three tickets to watch this day one on February for me and my friends :) Will pay again for SH4 - The circumcision edition (you know it will c...)

Hahah yay thank youuuu

"I'm tired, I'm exhausted, I'm dead inside" and there's still an hour left in the video...

You know it's a big deal when it gets Linkara to swear.

Perhaps they could have saved money by not adding a bunch of unnecessary cult bullshit, Mary's friends, and apartment scenes that actively make the story worse.

great stuff. ty

he's offended at the silent hill f icon on my desktop because he knows it's a better silent hill than the failed adaptation he's in

I wonder if they were banking on using GenAI for post production. Else they just did not care if people figured out that it was made as a money laundering scheme.

I cannot believe how insanely bad this beard is. Good lord, it's just humiliating. I officially forgive Henry Caville's CGI upper lip in Justice League.

Someone had to buy the Fake Beards from Tim and Eric.

also I would RT this if it wasn't a spoiler for one of my REVEALS in the video lmao

Haha what, it actually looks like that?

It looks so much worse in the still shot, wow.

you could hide snacks in the valley between his cheek and his lifted beard edges
