Pyramid Head and His Psychological Significance

In this newest Silent Hill 2 Remake, Pyramid Head isn't simply some scary figure!

The appearance of Pyramid Head really adds something more, a really impressive villainous role.

What stands out in his role in this newest adaptation is just how brutal he appears. It looks like he was made with a rusty executioner's mask and brutalist, pyramid-shaped helmet to give that scary vibe.

Armed with a giant sword, he follows James throughout the game!
