Silent Hill: A Screenplay Adaptation

Fade In:

Ext. Mountain Road - Afternoon

The wheels of a beat-up red jeep splash glimmering water on a bent guardrail at the edge of a worn mountain road.

The jeep curves around a rocky cliff.

int. jeep - afternoon

The back seat of the jeep is littered with sparse luggage and a few shopping bags. HARRY MASON, 34, is behind the wheel. His expression essays a polite, innocent optimism, but a hint of sadness rests behind his hazel eyes.

Seated next to him is ALICE MASON, also 34. Her pitch-black hair and pupils offer a stark contrast to her creamy, pale skin. Her body is limp like a rag doll, giving her the appearance that she lacks the strength to so much as speak.

Alice’s eyes leisurely pan through a thin glaze as they scan the surrounding landscape. There is a sign up ahead:

You are now leaving SILENT HILL. Thank you for visiting and come again soon!

Alice’s eyes fix on the sign; she slowly cranes her neck to follow it as they pass. She cautiously readjusts herself on the seat so she can look back.

Harry cranks the window down and sticks his hand outside. Disappointment is scarce in his voice as he speaks.

HARRY

Figures. As soon as we leave, it stops raining.

As he sighs, a faint smile of resignation creeps across his face. He stares straight for a moment; the smile fades away, and then creeps back when he notices Alice staring at the road behind them.

HARRY (Cont’d)

So who’s tailing us?

Alice’s eyes linger on the road before slowly drifting back towards Harry.

ALICE

I’m sorry?

HARRY

(dramatically)

The grime on the windshield kept the driver obscured, making it easy for him to follow his mark undetected. Her eyes were wild, but she kept her mouth pinched shut, unable to admit to herself or anyone else that she knew why she was being followed…

ALICE

Oh, stop…

He glances back and forth between her and the road with the same amused smile. Her body still slanted towards him, she rests her head on her hand as she speaks.

ALICE (Cont’d)

You sound so… articulate when you talk like one of the characters in your books.

HARRY

Was that a hint of sarcasm I detected there, Mrs. Mason?

ALICE

Nope, not me.

HARRY

You’re not Mrs. Mason, or you weren’t being sarcastic?

ALICE

Nope.

HARRY

Am I going to have to interrogate you?

He reaches over and playfully squeezes her thigh a few times. She giggles softly, but her smile relaxes as she continues looking behind them. Harry glances at her again, lets out a soft sigh as he looks down, and then looks back.

HARRY (Cont’d)

Come on, what is it?

ALICE

(sighing)

This might be the last time I get to see this place.

Harry’s face slowly goes blank. His lips hang open for a moment while his eyes stay fixed on the road.

HARRY

We’ll come here again.

ALICE

I might not have the chance…

Harry pinches his lips shut and stares blankly at the road. They go through a short, dark tunnel.

When they emerge on the other side, Harry’s eyes have glazed over. Alice notices this immediately and looks at her lap apologetically.
