Critics Consensus

Mediocre effort even by the standards of video game adaptations, Silent Hill: Revelation 3D features weak characters and an incomprehensible plot with a shortage of scares.

Tara Brady Irish Times "Come to Silent Hill" reads a "scary" message left for teen damsel Heather. Hell, no. Rated: 2/5 Nov 2, 2012 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle I realize it's called Silent Hill for a reason, but enduring this botched (video game-based) nightmare is like sleepwalking into the world's dullest Halloween party. Rated: 0/5 Nov 2, 2012 Full Review Rafer Guzman Newsday "Revelation" is incredibly boring as well as totally baffling. Oct 28, 2012 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Somehow manages to avoid delivering much of what made either the first movie or the original video game series appealing, with its confounding narrative feeling entirely accidental as opposed to intentionally mysterious. Rated: 2/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine I was impressed by the film's production values and visual panache. Between the Rembrandt burnish of the cinematography and the antique-store detail of the design, ugliness has never looked so pretty. Jul 31, 2019 Full Review Johnny Gayzmonic Fanboys of the Universe A mesmerizing display of human grotesquerie like Hieronymous Bosch filtered through Clive Barker, and that's exactly how it should be. Rated: 7/10 Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

BigD J I don't understand why this film gets so much hate. Except maybe a bunch of angry gamer nerds living in Mom's basement are all besides themselves because it didn't live up to their fantasies. I found the film rather entertaining and it's cool seeing Pyramidhead as a protagonist... or at least antihero. The dark ambiance of the film and the effects were actually pretty good. Hope they follow the series up with a third sequel. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Springer B While I was looking forward to the sequel filling in the gaps of the first movie I have to say it was a bit of a let down. I wish they would have taken more time to savor the horror aspects and characters, The story line seemed rushed and not well thought out. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Jacob B A major step-down from the first film, Silent Hill: Revelation suffers from a weaker plot, a subtle yet noticeable downgrade in visuals, lack of scares, continuity errors that, even if you aren't looking for them, are likely going to sense with certain developments at the very least having you think "this doesn't seem to jive with what was established in the 2006 film" and very obvious CGI. It does have some good points such as the lead actor's performance, Malcolm McDowell as a one-scene wonder, a suspenseful moment with a mannequin spider and a final battle with "so bad, it's good" appeal since, while not really bad, seems out of place with the rest of the film's tone. Say what you want about the 2006 film but at least it was consistent and didn't have the protagonist abruptly turn into Alice from the Resident Evil movies. While the first film was one of the better video game movies to come out at the time, this sequel drops the ball hard. Be careful what you wish for, Silent Hill fans who wanted a more faithful film adaptation over Christophe Gans' approach of borrowing enough elements from the games to justify the title whilst still doing its own thing to prevent people unfamiliar with the original IP from suffering continuity lockout. Though admittedly, this film coming out when the Silent Hill games were suffering from declining popularity didn't help. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Mateus M É o pior filme que fizeram! Cag@ram com a franquia... Estragaram conceitos bons do primeiro filme. O que era o Cabeca de piramide num carrossel??? MDS que lixo Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Harry T Where the first film went right, this one went terribly wrong. It rode off the success of the first but they didn't know what to do. Poorly written dialogue, and most of the first half is just re-explaining the events of the first film because of the bad plot writing. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Audience Member If you watched the first you definitely should watch the second, but I just feel like there’s a lot more the producers could’ve done. It was just too fast and choppy and just jumped right into a random story line with no explanation, kind of a let down. I am however excited for the return this year!
