Nathan J. @NathanDirector Jun 19 Rating: 4.3/10 ⭐️ Love the games; wanted to see the Silent Hill 3 adaptation. Expected a creepy continuation, but the messy plot honestly let me down. What Worked: • Clemens looks exactly like Heather, bringing visual comfort for me. • Yamaoka’s score totally pops and saves the eerie atmosphere. • The mannequin monster part has that twisted survival horror vibe I love. The Friction: • The asylum section with Leonard Wolf really dragged for me. • The forced romance subplot felt totally unnatural and pulled me out of the vibe. • Cramming too much cult lore made the final act feel too chaotic. Verdict: Watch for a goofy game binge. Skip if lore retcons annoy you. See more Benjamin W. @Code70 May 21 Hot garbage as a film, and just as bad as an adaption, so I hear. I’ve never actually played any of the Silent Hill video games, so I’m taking this movie on its own terms. And yeah… it really sucks. The acting is terrible, the story is all over the place, the set design looks awful, and the atmosphere isn’t nearly as haunting or impressive as in the first Silent Hill movie adaption. It’s more just… gross, and unpleasant. And that’s just kinda the whole movie. It looks awful, it’s incoherent, NOT scary, and it feels like a drag despite it running only around 90 minutes long. And I don’t think it did nearly as good of a job at exploring the themes and ideas it’s going for than the first movie did. And I’ve even heard that people who’ve played the Silent Hill games feel the same way (if not more strongly!). So yeah. Just a garbage, garbage movie. It’s unpleasant, horribly acted, nonsensically directed, and not scary. It isn’t even campy fun. It just sucks. Painfully bad.

It was disappointing because it doesn't have the atmosphere of the first movie and it fumbles the plot of the game even harder. That being said the performances are very good and the dialogue is funny. I enjoyed muh boi Malcolm MacDowell as Leonard and the battle at the end of the movie is so absurd you'll swear the makers of the movie were making a game about Soul Calibur instead of Silent Hill. SPOILERS AHEAD They did Douglas Cartland DIRTY. Same with Vincent. And why is Harry such a prominent character? He has no dialogue in the game. Having Pyramid Head as Valtiel is permissable since he was already in the first movie. Who wouldn't want Red Pyramid as a bodyguard? See more Anthony H. @Hardy Feb 2 This film lacks any plot whatsoever. It attempts to be sophisticated and scary, but it falls flat. The creatures are visually appealing and intimidating, but they fail to deliver on their intended scare factor. Instead, they simply wander around, attempting to kill some rather unremarkable actors. This portrayal severely underestimates Kit Harington’s acting ability. See more Chris S @TheRaven8386 Feb 2 Is it a bad movie? Yes. Is the CGI God awful for the most part? Yes. But I don't find the movie unwatchable and I actually think the final fight sequence is cool. Not as good as the original though.

Mostly poor CGI, and there is no continuity between either the games or the previous movie. See more Read all reviews
