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

Simona C I didn't know anything about the videogame, but the movie, even if pretty bad- except the scenography, how the lore of SH- made me curious of discovering this world. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review Kurt L This movie has pretty weak dialogue and some bad acting, but the visuals are stunning, the atmosphere is perfectly creepy, and it actually has a creative plot. As someone who hasn't played the video game and doesn't like the horror genre in general, I really enjoyed this movie. I watch it every Halloween. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Kalin D Disappointing. Not sure how anything connected with anything else. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/09/24 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
