Watch This Long-Lost ‘Silent Hill 2’ Mocap Scene!
Konami’s Silent Hill 2 is widely regarded as one of the best games (if not the best) in the entire series. We’ve posted several times over the years in appreciation of the game. And why not? In addition to the big emphasis on psychological horror and the masterful soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka, part of what made the game so memorable was the emotional toll it took on players. Dealing with some dark subject matter in a mature fashion was a big part of it, but also the fact that you were emotionally invested in the characters, stilted acting and all.
It’s also no secret that Guy Cihi, the voice behind the game’s protagonist, James Sunderland, is a huge supporter of the SH2 fanbase. Cihi also maintains a healthy presence on his YouTube page, posting videos related to the game. Recently, Cihi released a behind-the-scenes video of a motion capture session for a key scene in the game (read: spoilers) involving Jacquelyn Breckenridge (the actress who played Laura), performance director Jeremy Blaustein, and other members of Team Silent. The video in question Cihi thought was lost in his personal storage for the past 15 years, but has now been posted for all to see.
Again, the scene in question contains spoilers, so if you haven’t played the game (and why not?) and don’t want to be spoiled, don’t click.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
