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 Julian Singleton Cinapse Christophe Gans’ film remains an undeniably visceral and terrifying film, immersing the audience in a uniquely nightmarish world that runs on its own perverse dream logic. Jul 12, 2025 Full Review Sharai Bohannon A Nightmare On Fierce Street Podcast This is one of the best video game adaptations I have ever seen. It's brutal, dirty, and understands the video games I loved as a kid. Rated: 4/5 May 23, 2025 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine Concentrate on the design of the piece, and Silent Hill is a very effective and perverse fantasy thriller. Pay too much attention to the writing, and it will become a a much more hollow, unedifying experience. Rated: 6/10 Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Justin O. Impressively true to the games aesthetic, and seeing pyramid head on screen is a delight. Bad dialogue (cringey at times) hold it back. All in all, a fun movie Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review Pedro Henrique C Silent Hill has a very promising beginning, but then the film starts to get boring and slow, and several times it reaches something but fails. 2h 5m were tiring for me. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Audience Member Don’t know why everyones hating on this movie. It’s sooo good love this movie. People saying there’s bad acting I thought they all did a great job! The main character rose did really well and Andrea from the walking dead (Laurie Holden) is a great actor. The wee girl did a great job playing 3 different characters aswell. The look and feel of the movie is great. The monsters all look great they all did a really good job. Would definitely recommend watching this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/25 Full Review Simon B The critics are so wrong about this movie I thought this was a really good movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/25 Full Review Anna F De lo mejor de adaptaciones Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review Robson C Sharon, a filha adotiva de Rose e Chris, tem pesadelos e é sonâmbula. Sempre que está nesse estado, ela menciona um lugar chamado Silent Hill. Rose resolve ir até essa cidade para descobrir o que pode estar causando isso na sua filha. Após sofrer um acidente de carro, Sharon desaparece e Rose vai descobrir as verdades sobre aquela cidade. Nunca joguei nenhum videogame desta franquia, então vou analisar o filme como um filme de terror mesmo. Christophe Gans é o diretor do também muito bom Pacto Com Lobos, onde temos mistura de terror com artes marciais, na França do século 18. Aqui ele constrói todo um mundo, onde cinzas caem do céu formando uma neblina, e a trilha sonora ajuda a compor a tensão. Há vários momentos em que Gans realiza movimentos de câmera que nos lembra os vídeogames. O CGI deve ter sido muito bom na época, mas envelheceu mal. Porém as criaturas que surgem são bem assustadoras ainda, como o Pyramid Head ou as Bubble Head Nurses. O roteiro é montado como um vídeogame, onde Rose e Cybill, uma policial que acaba arrastada para este mundo, vão enfrentando os chefões de cada fase, até o momento final, realizando tarefas necessárias para avançar. Como disse, não posso compará-lo com o game, mas como filme de terror, com certeza, é um dos mais tensos e assustadores, com criaturas que já fazem parte da culltura pop e do gênero de terror.
