How were you first made aware of this film?


Have noticed quite a lot of people complaining that this movie did not get enough publicity, so just curious to know how people were initially introduced to it. Seems to be a Cult film in that you only know about it if someone has recommended it to you or if you did your research online.

I just noticed it on some random's top 10 horror list on Amazon and thought the DVD cover looked creepy. Anyone else?

I was a university student in a small town in West Texas and they were showing the film for one week. This may date me, but I drove to the theater and looked at the marquee and saw the poster in the lobby and saw the film and loved it.

My awareness was as old school, non-technological as possible: I saw the poster and bought a ticket and the rest is history.

I rented it at Blockbuster.

I found this gem after reading about Silent Hill 3 influences, most specifically, the wheechair scene. This is also how I knew Jacob's Ladder, which along with Blue Velvet, is essentially Silent Hill 2 in an interactive medium.
