Disturbing but Intriguing

[jaded_grin]

This is from Silent Hill 2--my all time favorite Silent Hill game. I am a huge fan of Pyramid Head even though we caught him doing many bad, dastardly things in the game (there were several times when I was like: WTF?! Did he just do what I think he did? HOLY CRAP!) BUT, I digress. Found this video on youtube and I think it's very artistic as well as shockingly disturbing but equally interesting. Not for the sensitive or faint of heart, and direct from Silent Hill Lost Memories DVD import: Fukuro

Umm...what the fuck just happened? Was that thing fucking a corpse? Can someone explain the premise of the game?

I'm gonna have nightmares from now on..*rocks in the corner weeping*

Oh dear...I DID warn that it wasn't altogether wholesome! Uhm--basically, in the game Pyramid Head represents the base-personality of the protagonist (who murdered his wife and subsequently blocked it, leading to his coming to Silent Hill). PH is seen several times either murdering the aspect of the man's wife (trying to force him to remember it) or else raping the objectified aspects of his wife (the "corpse things")because the main guy (James) only married his wife on the basis of superficial things (sex, laughs, etc) and when she got terminally ill he decided he wanted out, so he killed her. PH is one of the most controversial Silent Hill characters, and a great concept of guilt/base urges/fallibility made flesh...I'm a fan! No more tears, now! Scary man with the huge, compensatory blade isn't coming to get you, I won't let him!

That video was creepy, but artistically facinating at the same time. O_O *is a fan of the strange and unsusal*

I saw the Silent Hill movie a while back, and Pyramid Head caught my attention immediately. So, this video was a good find. Thanks for posting it. :3

Glad you liked it! I love the music that goes with it, too--I found the whole video as fascinating as it was revolting. :D

I'm familiar (just a little) with the premise of Silent Hill so at least I wasn't expecting anything pleasant. That was so very disturbing I'm glad the embed is a small screen. 8-o

Wonderfully done though and I like the music.

The music is what really gets stuck in my head, and the repulsive eroticism really freaks me out--but SH2 was based on sex, so it sorta goes. I love those crazy Japanese game-creators who made this series! They're so twisted!

haven't seen that badboy in a while! hehe. Silent Hill rocks! I did a crossover for FVII with it and it got some seriously good feedback. Maybe I should post it here... I dunno. Silent Hill is a fantastic series but not for the faint hearted hehe

CROSSOVER? How have I not seen this? I will hunt it down and read it! :D

It's on my other account but I just post on here now. There's a ton of random junk on it LOL but most of that is now on my home page for my own website.

Was that...Pyramid Head porno? Like he didn't already scare me enough! Thank Gaia I can't be squicked. Hmm, maybe I'll pair P.H. with someone. Just kidding. Or am I? :)

[jaded-grin.livejournal.com]

If anyone can do it, you can! I just found the video fascinating because I played SH2 and since I'm a perv I got the overall sexual tone to it--there's something morbidly interesting about mixing such despair with an act of creation. Plus, the music was awesome!

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

When I played, I didn't realize the sexual element to it at all. Probably because I was distracted by my usual anxiety, even though I wasn't even the one with the controller most of the time.

*goes off again on rant about how easy mode was supposed to have no enemies and yet it DID*

...Whoever made this was one twisted but brilliant fucked up person(or people). It's captivating but repulsive at the same time! The chilling music sold me though. Thank god I'm no lightweight about disturbing things. I keep on replaying it over and over again, so I'm captivated and have the urge to scream over and over again...I should stop...

[jaded-grin.livejournal.com]

You summed it up perfectly! It IS captivating but repulsive, I agree! The music is what really gets me, I get it stuck in my head and can't leave it alone! So, of course, I had to spread the madness, LOL! BTW, if I haven't already said so, your icon is snuggly adorable! *luffs Reno*
