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.

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.

Rated: 4/5

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

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Honestly for a video game movie this was great. The parts where the movie attempted to throw in its own narrative rather than copying the game is where it fell flat but overall this movie is definitely not bad. The plot could have been a bit more compelling but the visuals and the atmosphere of the scenes was superb.

"I love the Silent Hill movie — it gives you the perfect mix of horror vibes and mystery that keeps you hooked." "Silent Hill is one of my favorite horror movies. It delivers chilling horror vibes mixed with an eerie mystery that pulls you in from start to finish. If you enjoy atmosphere and suspense as much as scares, this is the perfect choice."
