20 Biggest WTF Moments In Silent Hill History

5. Scarlet Boss Fight (Silent Hill: Downpour)

Silent Hill: Downpour wasn€™t an overtly bad game, it was just fairly uninteresting compared to some of the other, more imaginative titles in the series, like the always excellent Silent Hill 2. If anything, the game€™s most guilty of being a bit boring, providing very few memorable moments or interesting takes on the Silent Hill formula. It was trying so hard to validate itself as a Silent Hill game that it became a pale imitation, perfectly acceptable but utterly unremarkable.

With that said, there were a handful of genuinely terrifying moments littered throughout the game, images that managed to stand out from the rest and validate their inclusion. One such element is the Scarlett Boss, a boss fight that pits the player against a strange, hulking spider creature with a humans face and a Mannequin€™s body. It€™s not the most difficult boss fight in the world, but it€™s a memorable addition to an otherwise lacklustre experience.
