Just watching the trailers for the upcoming movie Room 1408 makes me think of a similar situation. Although it is altered abit. Those that know of the Silent Hill 4: The Room should know what im talking about. Even if SH4 is a video game I still find the movie Room 1408 abit of a ripoff to the game SH4. Those that don't know ill explain abit. The game Silent Hill 4: The Room released in September 7, 2004 is based on a character that moved into a new apartment, doesn't take long to find that strange things are starting to happen in the room. Suddenly one day he can't seem to exit his apartment at all. Chains with locks surround his front door. As per the Silent Hill franchise it doesn't take long till he finds he must face evil. The movie trailer for room 1408 are rather interesting similar as this guy is trying to figure out what happened in this room where murders have happened, till suddenly he himself is stuck alone faced with a haunted room. SH4 Trailer doesn't allow embedding  ahhhh_crap wrote:no, splinter has ethics and whut has emotions

IIRC Stephen King did the short story 1408 (which is what the movie is based off of obviously) in 1999 well before SH4 so if anything the game ripped off the short story In an hour of Darkness a blind man is the best guide. In an age of Insanity look to the madman to lead the way.

I went through Wiki and found that they aren't exactly "ripoffs". Largely though the entire Silent Hill used influences based off Jacob's Ladder (a movie made in 1990) and David Lynch's work, clearly way even before Stephen King's short story of Room 1408.ahhhh_crap wrote:no, splinter has ethics and whut has emotions
