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.

Where this movie shines is in its disturbing imagery, its very creepy visuals, and the stunning production design.

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.

Unfortunately, the writing and acting is distractingly bad at times. Honestly, it felt like they spent all the budget on the production design, and then midway realized they never bothered with a script.

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.

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.

This movie is very great, the plot is interesting, the characters are likeable and the set designs are top notch. The buildup to the truth about Silent Hill and Alessa were probably one of the best yet saddest story in a movie. Everything about this movie was great, but the only thing I have about this movie are some of the monsters and backgrounds, some of the backgrounds and monsters look like PS1/PS2 quality. But, nevertheless this movie was amazing.

This js actually good. Watched from strat to end without falling asleep. A must to watch. Like the games, it has disturbing visuals and violence, no censorship at all. True, uncensored, horror. I recommend it.

One of my favourite horror movies. It doesn’t have tons of jump scares but instead builds up horror with the atmosphere. Are there issues? Sure but I just rewatched this with my kiddo and it’s still a stand out. The sets and world building are the best parts of this movie. I never played the games so I am only reviewing this from my viewing experience. I had a great time with this movie. The second one is dog water though.

Watched during its first premiere, and after almost 2 decades later with multiple viewing, it's still one of my favorite horror movies. Atmospheric, sinister and mesmerizing. And who can ever forget the siren...
