What to Know

Critics Consensus

Silent Hill is visually impressive, but as with many video game adaptations, it's plagued by inane dialogue, a muddled plot, and an overlong runtime.

Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com Where this movie shines is in its disturbing imagery, its very creepy visuals, and the stunning production design. Rated: B Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Brian Tallerico UGO Silent Hill starts out at point A and then goes so quickly, loudly and visually over-the-top that it flies completely off the rails into its own glorious weirdness. Mar 24, 2007 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald More deadly than silent. Rated: 2/5 Aug 25, 2006 Full Review Brian Bisesi Horror Movie Club Podcast While this adaptation was surprisingly faithful to the game, when told through the medium of film the plot is a bloated and confusing mess. It is hard to connect with the film’s characters in the onslaught of horror imagery and exposition dumps. Rated: 2/5 May 22, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …Silent Hill is no masterpiece, the plotting is lopsided, the climax confusing and somewhat repellently violent in a Clive Barker way, but it’s also a strong, female-driven story with exquisite visuals and sound design… Rated: 3/5 Jun 4, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The result looks better than most based-on-a-video-game adaptations, but the storytelling is just as dim as we’ve come to expect from such material. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 25, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Mateus M a franquia é boa! Melhor que o segundo filme pelo menos... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Ethelbert L I understand more what happened to Silent Hill because of this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Meng L This is like the best video game adapted film ever, very enjoyable experience Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review William B I haven't played the video games yet. Originally, I thought this movie was pretty good but upon thinking back to it, I don't think it's as good as I thought it was. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Robert H Very ambitious effort by director excellent horror film Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Audience Member This is still the best video game adaptation to the big screen . Christophe Gans is a big gamer and fought with Konami to get this made and it was a big success at the box office. He loves the Silent Hill games and it's amazing they used Akira Yamaoka video game score and he worked on the movie. The camera angles and the feel of the game is in this movie from begining till end. God I love the darkness siren . Incorporate the characters from the game. I'm so glad he is back directing the third movie he didn't do the second one. As a Silent Hill gamer I shed tears everytime I see this . 10/10 EPIC FANTASTIC adaptation done with love and care to the gamers of this game.
