Silent Hill Behind the Scenes Interview

A behind the scenes interview with Christopher Gans, the director of Silent Hill, has been published on the Visimag website.

Excerpt:

"When you see the dank, dark decrepit hospital at the end of Silent Hill, you may be inclined to think it was cold. Make no mistake, the scene was filmed in an unventilated Toronto warehouse on a hot July day. Radha Mitchell had to stand around caked in blood and bruises, but that was nothing compared to the poor zombie actresses whose whole faces were covered in prosthetics.

The scene comes near the end of the film, as Rose (Mitchell) must wade through a crowd of zombie nurses after the hospital is encased in an all-pervading Darkness which has permeated the entire town of Silent Hill. Keeping her spirits up, Mitchell would wag her tongue at the end of a tense, quiet take, or one of the zombie actresses would improvise her own weird dance choreography before the director finally yelled, “Action!”"
