EP 92: Tracing Paper Blues (More Video Game Movies)

Zero Brightness heads to the theater in this episode, where we take a look at more film adaptations of horror games; specifically, the two Silent Hill movies and the new Detention TV series. I'm joined first by Whitney Chavis for a discussion of the many ways that the Silent Hill adaptations pay respect to the original games while also totally fumbling any attempt at presenting deeper themes or a consistent story. Later, Monica Coleslaw breaks down the bizarre way that Detention 2020 re-contextualizes the original game's heavily political narrative into a skin-crawling "love" story. We take the good, we take the bad and there you have: Episode 92 of Zero Brightness
