Jetpacks. Zombies. Sackzilla.

I watched this video at the same time as the one we posted back in July because it looked like the same trailer. Maybe if I had looked at the running time of each one before I did this I would have noticed that the trailer posted above is about a minute longer. In my defense though, they are VERY much alike - however with the added content in the new one, it is much more in depth and still looks rather cool.

Silent Hill Homecoming TrailerIn the horror genre — whether it’s books, movies, or video games — there’s usually one persistent rule: never trust the kids. They’re always either going to do something stupid to get people killed or turn out to be the ones doing the actual killing. Nowhere does this ring more true though than in the Silent Hill series. This new trailer for the upcoming Silent Hill Homecoming centers around one kid, Josh, who is apparently linked to all the evil in Silent Hill somehow. I don’t know how that will play out, but considering he just stands there shaking while his father falls into a pit, I still wouldn’t trust him.
