The American DVD release of the Silent Hill Movie. There is unfortunately only one extra feature on the DVD… an hour long “making of” documentary,Path of Darkness: Making “Silent Hill,” that has behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with cast and crew.

The Japanese DVD and Blu-ray release of Silent Hill. The boxset includes the main feature, 2 bonus discs with an hour making-of footage and an hour comparison between the movie and game series by the Konami
staff, a Blu-ray disc with the original contents of discs one and two. I really wish they released something like this in America.

- World of the Game Silent Hill: Overall description of Silent Hill 1-3, how the games work, character
relations, creature index, item, weapon and save points
