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.

"Silent Hill" is Stephen King’s "Carrie" on steroids.

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.

The other two Silent Hills, make this movie look like a masterpiece compared to them. The camera angles during the hallway/alleyway scenes are just like it is in the original PS1 game. The makeup and costume design for the nurses and other silent hill-like monsters were very accurate. This movie used alot of bits and pieces of the game, however used the majority of its own adaptation to the story, which was probably the reason why this movie was overhated. Even though this movie is adapted heavily, and isn't even close to Silent Hill, it uses very similar attributes from the games to atleast make it feel like it.

Oh my. The entire film seems to work with disgust, fear, and completely exaggerated volume differences. Sorry, but that's so cheap. What a waste of time and money.

The production design is impressive, but the movie lacks substance. The story doesn’t make sense until the final 20 minutes. There are some cool nods to the game, but other than that, it wasn’t worth the 2 hours I spent watching it.

Visuals were a mix of great in some scene, silly, hokey digital fx in others. The acting was much the same, as scenes were serious and well done, but others were almost campy 80s like. Soundtrack was great.

visually really cool, but a dragged out run time and tamed plot misses the mark for me. But for a video game adaption, it’s very solid.
