[Album Review] Jeff Danna And Akira Yamaoka ‘Silent Hill: Revelation 3D’ OST

In two days, Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, the sequel to 2006’s Silent Hill, will hit theaters. Having been a huge fan of the game franchise since the first one was released, I was there when the first film came out. While I had a few minor issues with the film, I thought it was, and still is, the best video game-to-film adaptation ever released. Part of that was because the music of the film was Akira Yamaoka’s original cues with some simple additions here and there, courtesy of Resident Evil: Apocalypse composer Jeff Danna.

Now we have the sequel’s OST to look at. In a recent press release, Danna stated that director Michael Bassett (interview) told him, “…I need you to inject more musicality and orchestral elements into the score…” Danna once again collaborated with Yamaoka to create the aural landscape that we will be hearing in the film. But how does it fare on its own? Read on to find out. READ MORE

[Special Feature] ‘Resident Evil: Revisitation’ A Look Back At The Franchise So Far!

Resident Evil: Retribution 3D, the fifth installment in the Resident Evil series that has grossed over $700 Million worldwide, hits theaters on September 14th. Not only has the series grown in popularity, the films themselves have grown in scope. When I was onset last year, Retribution promised to be the biggest one of them all – a notion that the trailers have since backed up.

It’s also interesting how so many characters thought lost or dead show up in the new installment. Sienna Guillory’s Jill Valentine, Colin Salmon’s James “One” Shade, Michelle Rodriguez’s Rain Ocampo and Oded Fehr’s Carlos Olivera are all returning. Keeping all this in mind in this sponsored piece, I thought it would be a good time to take a look back at how each installment has grown and the last time we saw each of our unexpectedly returning characters.
