Silent Hill Revelation 3D will absolutely please the fans of Silent Hill but I doubt that it will please the common movie reviewers or critics. I am a big fan of Silent Hill and I am addicted to the first Silent Hill and the video games. As aSilent Hill Revelation 3D will absolutely please the fans of Silent Hill but I doubt that it will please the common movie reviewers or critics. I am a big fan of Silent Hill and I am addicted to the first Silent Hill and the video games. As a movie it is not near perfect. First of all, the script is awful and senseless, it is far away from the script and the eerie talking of Silent Hill, as for the story, it is explained more than the first, it doesn't leave anything to the imagination of the viewer, and that's make Silent Hill Revelation forgettable, the direction is really bad, because there is no actual tension during the climax, which makes us miss Christopher Gans' direction. The visuals are good but you can see and notice that Pyramid head's costume is rushed, and a proof is the trivia on IMDB. As for a movie, it is not that scary, and it is definitely not that good, sometimes it is boring and dull, but mostly, entertaining and fun. The 3D is really good, and I give them the credit for that. Expand

It also seems like the film is just moving from jump-scare to jump-scare with no buildup or character development, maybe because of the shorter length compared to the previous entry in the franchise, they felt they rushed it a little. On the plus side, the special effects are quite impressive. in fact, the only reason this review score isn't lower, is because of my love for the franchise. Expand

I am intimately familiar with the Halo of the Sun, the Seal of Metatron, the Order, Valtiel, "God," the layers of reality, Leonard, Claudia, Heather Mason, Harry Mason, Pyramid Head, Alessa, Dhalia, Robbie the Rabbit, the fog, Brookhaven, Vincent, and Lakeside Amusement Park, all from the games. If you don't recognize every single one of those from memory, then you will likely be lost throughout much of the movie. The film loosely follows the plot of the third game, and even then, you need to be very familiar with the story from that game to get what's happening most of the time. The acting is subpar in most of the characters, and there is way too much exposition. The set pieces are excellent, and some of the creatures are inspired, but the climax was rushed and the general pacing of the movie was poor. If you are indeed a super hardcore Silent Hill fan, then this movie will address many canonical issues that are largely unexplored in the games and deal with various fan-based theories. There are also so many references to each game in the franchise, including Downpour, that hardly a shot goes by without one coming in somewhere. Almost every set in the film was pulled from one of the games. Excellent fan candy, but not much else, I'm afraid. Expand

I'm a gamer, and thus a fan of the Silent Hill video game. Though the first film wasn't great it was definitely a film, made by a filmmaker. Revelation felt like fan fiction--which if you're a big fan of SH3, you'll probably love it.

I tend to use The Godfather as a basis of comparison for films--cinematography, music, writing, directing, acting--all supreme. But Silent Hill: Revelation needs to be compared to the Spiderman Ride in Orlando--which it barely just falls short of in terms of entertainment.

The dialog was awful but Sean Bean gave a good attempt at making it seem emotionally inspired. But a film this plot-driven and reliant on surprises for scares really has no time for emotion and I was more annoyed by "character moments" than desperately seeking them. Honestly, if it was just an hour and half of Heather running from the Manikin-Spider, I would have been more satisfied!

A lot of reused horror ideas, (waking up from dreams) and predictable moments but main actress Adelaide Clemens saves any flaws the movie may have with an amazingly likable performance.

Sometimes, unfortunately, it can't outmatch Resident Evil: Retribution's success in IMAX 3-D (Still the lowest grossing movie in the franchise, but manages to overcome the odds overseas). I'd prefer a cult classic horror video game turned into a movie soon like Dino Crisis or D or Haunting Ground and Clock Tower. Probably, I'll wait for a rental of SH: Revelation. Expand

This one feels less like SH, and more likeA watchable but all together dumber feeling sequel. The first Silent Hill movie felt like watching one of the games, minus the scares. Because of that it was enjoyed by many SH fans, myself included. This one feels less like SH, and more like some torture-porn horror movie along the lines of one of the later "Saw" movies due to it's grotesque imagery and excessive gore.

The plot, which is based of off the 3rd game, dives deeper into the SH lore from the games, does a good job of adapting and tying the plot of the 3rd game into the plot of the first movie, and is all together much less confusing than many found the first movie to be. Because of this there are plenty of great moments that are throwbacks to the game and some interesting twists on the game's characters. Where the movie stumbles is that it makes the whole thing just feel dumber, cheeper, and cheesier.

There's no fear to be found here and through ways I won't spoil they take Pyramid Head and make him feel like a joke, which is basically a sin in the eyes of any SH fan. Myself included. It also doesn't help that there are tons of lines of awful dialog and our lead actress (Adelaide Clemens) can feel weak at times. Shockingly though the worst performance (possibly the only bad one) comes from Game of Thrones star Taylor Kitsch. He honestly doesn't seem to be trying here. There are also plenty of scenes that just feel dumb and/or unintentionally goofy. It relies too much on dumb theatrics in order to bring scares that have already proven time and time again to not work.

All of these issues drag down "Revelation" from being a great homage to the SH series, and turn it into yet another cheesy video game movie. That's not to say it's not worth watching. What saved the movie for me was my HUGE Silent Hill fandom. It made overall experience watchable and often entertaining for me, even when I was cringing at some stupid thing that happened on-screen that insulted my inner SH fan.

It's the constant references, scenes, and twists on the source material that kept me entertained. It's those same things that will make it at least worth watching for any Silent Hill fan. It's the strength of the games that keep it from being terrible. So anyone not familiar with them should strongly consider passing on this movie. I'll be the first to say that I thought the 3rd game took on a less-scary tone. I saw humor and felt a more self-aware and tongue-in-cheeck tone with that game. That being said this movie's goofy moments don't feel like that, and instead just feel like bad direction.

So my overall opinions on the movie are kind of mixed. I still think any SH fan should check it out, because as I've said before my love of the source material kept me enjoying the movie overall. It does feel like another bad video game movie at times, but it clings close enough to the material of the game it's based on to keep things at the very least watchable for fans. I enjoyed it even though I'm also very disappointed with it. It doesn't live up to the first movie, which IMO might be the best video game movie ever. My overall score is a 6.4/10.

The movie was at least a bit scary at the beginning, but when the Darkness finally engulfs Silent Hill, it has the opposite effect of what the viewer would expect all the horror is simply gone which I think was the biggest mistake of the movie, at least when talking about the horror aspect. Then the soundtrack was definitely one of the strongest aspects of the movie. The actors also did a good job, which I didn't expect after seeing some sneak peaks. There is no way it is only worth 15/100 as in the critic score do not be deceived by this it is not a perfect movie but it definitely is not that bad, Expand

This is my first (of many I hope) review here. I apologize beforehand for any mistakes, as english is not my native language.

I wanted to write a review because, having read a bunch of them out there, I couldn't relate to any of them and I hope, when somebody reads mine, it'll go different. I went to the movies expecting not a great movie, so I wasn't disappointed in the end. I think this movie, exceeds (greatly) the first Silent Hill in staying faithful to the game. It has one or two things that bugged me, but all along it keeps up. Heather is well portrayed, finally Sean Bean is called HARRY as it should be in the first place (so is the case of Sharon, who the hell is Sharon), Douglas is okay, even though I would like an older guy to play the role. It's cool that the movie goes all the way with the original characters from SH3, as it brings the bad guys on board too. Don't really mind the plot twist about Vincent, personally I wouldn't have done that (but, what the hell, it has to be appealing to the non-fans, the thing is, I think the writing was kinda weak there). All the "famous places" from the game are here.
Monsters and CGI effects are way good; the nurses are really cool and so is Pyramid-head. Music is okay, thanks to Akira. But in this case I liked the score from the previous SH better. Although, listening to some of the original tunes is great.
Scenarios hit it off. It felt like Silent Hill, but somehow the movie fails to deliver. I dunno, it just wasn't a scary movie as were the games. Hey they tried, but they couldn't, I didn't feel the need to cover my eyes once (but it's still better than the first). They try to sneak up on you but it's just too predictable and all in all, it just doesn't get the eerie appeal of the game that makes you crouch under your seat. I felt the beginning of the movie was awesome, just like the game. But then it falls apart. It spends some time trying to fill some plot-holes, linking both movies, but staying true to the game. The first part of the movie, script-related, it goes way too fast. If you're a fan, you're gonna like the portrayal of Silent Hill and the characters. You have to let some stuff go obviously. Douglas part is too little, and Vincent's story is a bit different this time. You'll love to see Happy Burguer or some other places from the game. If you're not a fan then, you won't get as excited by those things, you'll like the effects, the music and the scenarios, but won't get scared or anything and it'd round up to be just another movie, you'd have better checked out at your place and not the theatre.

All beeing said, I give the movie a 6 out of 10. Hope this works!

The plot is dead basic and I think even the most diehard horror fan would find themselves debating whether to leave or not after the first ten goofy minutes of this hilarious nonevent of a movie. Its a shame that Sean Bean who can be one of the scariest actors out there is relegated to a small support role and isn't onscreen for very long. Very disappointing not even worthy of a Saturday marine escape movie status at the local mall. Staying in the food court and staring at nothing in particular with a coffee in front of you is a better bet than this truly awful film. Expand

Jokeworthy, but nice to see Heather come to life. I will say the 3D bandwagon resurgence was the worst possible thing to exist in film at the time, and they cheaped out on the story for gimmick effects (like all 3D films around the same time)

I can not quite understand the destructive score the critics used to rate it, but I can agree that this movie truly isn't good. The story is unclear and leaves so many gaps that there isn't space for good moments somewhere in between. The acting is merely oky, but not more and the ending is very disappointing. In respect to the video games this movie is a shame, but for someone who doesn't know the games' plot this movie won't probably make sense. But the worst part of it is that at all points this movie completely fails to scare the viewer. There is nothing obscure enough, other than the background story, maybe, to build up some tension. I can imagine that it is really hard to combine the hours of gameplay from a video game in an average movie, but this could truly have had a greater outcome. there are still a few things I like abiut it, though. For first, the setting and the "monsters" look really good and sufficiently realistic, the setting is in my opinion well chosen. The best is definately the sound design, which is fantastic. The soundtrack for this film, which was also adapted from the second original Silent Hill is close to being my altime-favorite and the even the soundeffects for the evil enemies are convincing enough to could have been potentially frightening, if the rest of the movie would have allowed so. I have pretty much said everything already; Silent Hill Revelation looks good, sounds good and scores as some kind of experiment, but as a movie, especially from the horror-genre is disappointing and will never receive good feedback, which is understandable. I wouldn't not say it's very amusing to see this movie, but neither it's directly a waste of time, just nothing worth to stay in memory after all. Expand

Watched the trailer first, I was so excited for the movie. Watched the film, ugh. This is one of the worst horror movies ever. It completely failed to tell the story of Silent Hill, even more than the first movie. Acting isn't that bad, butWatched the trailer first, I was so excited for the movie. Watched the film, ugh. This is one of the worst horror movies ever. It completely failed to tell the story of Silent Hill, even more than the first movie. Acting isn't that bad, but the plot is just terrible. At the part when it actually gets interesting, the movie ends. Horrible! Expand

Esta vez todo salio mal, no se que creía el director pensando que Silent Hill es una especie de juego de peleas, se noto que el nunca llego a tocar un juego, la trama es un total desastre es como si todo estuviera a la mano no hay ningunaEsta vez todo salio mal, no se que creía el director pensando que Silent Hill es una especie de juego de peleas, se noto que el nunca llego a tocar un juego, la trama es un total desastre es como si todo estuviera a la mano no hay ninguna dificultad dentro el protagonista las tiene de ganar en todo momento, todo se resuelve en un segundo, lo rescatable de esta película son sus referencias, sus monstruos y sus efectos especiales.
Vale la pena verla? Si para entretenerte un rato y obvio si eres fan y quieres gritar REFERENCIA!!! en cada escena de la película.

It's not terrible good story but feels very rushed and wooden at times nice effects but not very scary.

esse é difícil de engolir...mas, é aceitável para um fã da franquia, poderiam lançar algum filme baseado no segundo game ou no shattered memories
