You can't run from the past.
Original film name: Silent Hill
Film studio name: TriStar Pictures/Davis Films
Film release date: April 2006
Original runtime: 125 minutes
Fanedit release date: August 2013
New runtime: 99 minutes
Amount of time cut/added: 26 minutes
INTENTION AND EDITING DETAILS:
Silent Hill was not a bad film in my opinion. It was a decent film with a better film hidden underneath a few bad lines of dialogue and some executive meddling. The goal of this edit was to create a more focused version of the film by eliminating the Christopher subplot as well as silly lines of dialogue that dragged the film down.

- MP4 - 7000kbps (approximate) 720p, 16x9 anamorphic widescreen (2.40:1), true Dolby Digital 5.1 surround.
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE INFORMATION:
- DVDfab, Sony Vegas Studio Platinum 9, BeSweet, VirtualDub, TMPEGEnc Xpress 4, DVDlab PRO, Audacity.

CUTLIST:
- New opening: Studio logos, title, open on Rose waking up in her car.
- All scenes with Christopher removed throughout the film.
- Removed Rose saying "ashes" when she realizes the snow isn't actually snow.
- Added a flashback after Rose is attacked by the grey children in the alley: Rose and Sharon in the field, Rose at the gas station, driving up to Silent Hill/getting pulled over and crashing. Numerous cuts throughout, changed to black and white.
- Removed Rose saying "Fuck you, you stupid cop" when she and Cybil discover the drop off in the road.
- Removed a shot of Cybil raising her gun (she does so twice).
- Removed Cybil yelling "Stay where you are! Stop!" at the lying figure/armless man.
- Removed brief flash of students harassing Alessa then Rose finds her desk.
- Removed shot of Colin the janitor in the washroom when Rose is running down the stairs.
- Removed Cybil asking "Do you hear that?" when Pyramid Head is approaching her and Rose's hiding spot.
- Removed "They used to say this place was haunted" exchange while Rose and Cybil are walking to the hotel.
- Removed Rose saying "We have to go to room 111."
- Shortened hallway search, Anna's line still intact, Rose's is not.
- Removed Rose's "I love my daughter" when Christabella asks her if she is a person of faith.
- Moved shot of Christabella watching Rose and Cybil to the middle of their "Mother is God" chat.
- Removed Cybil clarifying that an "innocent" is a child.
- Removed Cybil telling Rose that Christabella is "killing" her.
- Removed Christabella's extra "it will."
- Removed Cybil getting beaten by the miners.
- Plot dump: Removed Christabella's "You're weak my dear sister."
- Plot dump: Removed Christabella's "We fight the sin not the sinner."
- Plot dump: Removed the extra shot of Gucci burning his hands. His character is not in this cut, so this shot is not important.
- Removed flash of Dark Alessa leaving Sharon at the orphanage.
- Removed Dark Alessa clarifying that "satisfaction" means "revenge."
New changes to HD edition:
- Flashback has been removed and placed at the start of the film.
- New color grading added to Fog World and Otherworld scenes.
- Alessa's voiceover removed from plot dump.
- All previous edits have been tightened up for better pacing.
- One definitive ending, the "Grey" ending from the first DVD version.
I'm sure there are other changes to the new version I did, but it was in the works for so long I've forgotten what some of the minor nips and tucks I made are. Rest assured, it's better than the original version.
