EmpireKim NewmanNov 4, 2012
The first film was imperfect but solid as game-adaps go and fans revelled in its clammy shocks. No such luck this time out. Director Bassett oversees a vaporous horror sequel that rarely raises the pulse. Read full review

Silent Hill: Revelation fundamentally misunderstands the appeal its source material. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyKeith StaskiewiczOct 26, 2012
Some horror movies want to scare you witless, but Silent Hill: Revelation 3D just wants to beat you senseless. Read full review

We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoFeb 13, 2017
It's a shame Silent Hill: Revelation suffers the same doomed fate as most modern horror movies, bumbling through a shockingly disconnected screenplay which strings together moments that could have been salvaged otherwise. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenOct 27, 2012
There is a flamboyance to some of the imagery - Heather and her demonic doppelganger embrace on a flaming carousel - but no exuberance, no sense of wonder, fascination or enjoyment. Everything feels like a throwaway. Read full review

The New York TimesAndy WebsterOct 26, 2012
The film is nothing if not liberal with its bloodletting, which integrates cleverly at times with the 3-D: lopped fingers, for example, fly toward the audience. But personalities and plot are thumbnail sketches at best. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckOct 26, 2012
Silent Hill is not a place you want to go, and that applies for moviegoers as well as this videogame adaptation's characters. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan RabinOct 26, 2012
Stiff, episodic, and disjointed, Silent Hill: Revelation 3D replicates its source material all too faithfully. Read full review

Total FilmGeorge BassNov 4, 2012
The nurse-monsters look cool - think HR Giger in Ann Summers kit - but the plot and burning fairgrounds are so OTT they dispel any chill factor. Read full review

VarietyDennis HarveyOct 26, 2012
A cheaper, cheesier sequel that's worse than its predecessor on every level (save being a half-hour shorter) and takes no special advantage of the stereoscopic process. Read full review

Boxoffice MagazineDavid EhrlichOct 26, 2012
Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is the nadir of senseless seasonal cinema. But while Bassett's film struggles to say anything coherently, it gets the most important message across perfectly well: "Do not go to Silent Hill!" Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovOct 31, 2012
A knockoff in everything from style to story, it also suffers from 3-D effects that are dim and underwhelming, a maddeningly obtuse storyline, and performances that could have used some serious Herbert West-style reanimation. Read full review

The PlaylistDrew TaylorOct 27, 2012
One step worse than most of these video game movies. It feels less like a game and more like what happens when you leave your PlayStation on and it becomes a kind of dim screensaver. If we had a controller in our hand, we would probably throw it at the screen. Read full review

Village VoiceNick SchagerOct 26, 2012
With horror altogether absent and a plot drowning in insipid convolutions, it's a film whose early warning to Heather should be heeded: "Don't go to Silent Hill." Read full review
