Man, this is turning into a treasure trove! I'm writng down all the leads that have been posted so far. Odd that I've never even heard of the film Sunshine, which has been referenced more than once. I'll check it out at the IMDB for a quick synoposis.
( I agree that the Silent Hill movie was much better than almost everyone expected it to be, given Hollywood's lousy track record with videogame crossovers. Resident Evil? Sheesh.)
