Critics Consensus

A visually tacky sequel that lumbers along with a plodding pulse and lacking the thematic resonance that distinguished its source material, Return to Silent Hill gets lost in the haze.

Die-hard fans may get a kick out of seeing the monstrosities of Silent Hill on the big screen. But this return trip to gaming’s most terrifying town won’t leave you scared — just bored.

4/5

Without any of the game’s tension-releasing exploration and puzzle-solving breaks, it has a nightmare flow, constantly upending its own logic and the geometry of its spaces.

A cautionary tale: chilling proof that borrowing legendary video game symbolism without comparable skill remains the surest way to alienate a fanbase, on or off the console.

Despite its flaws, the 2006 film was rather handsome, but this budget-starved schlock looks like goulash - a rust-coloured slurry of empty frames and weightless monsters.

I do not understand how it seems to be monumentally difficult to adapt one of these games into a film. It might be time to stop trying.

... a generic film that could belong to any franchise, incapable of capturing what made Silent Hill such a personal and enduring experience. [Full review in Spanish]

It was an all right movie not the best not the worst had some cool looking cgi moments but then it seems like they kind of went on their own tangent towards the end

Captures some of the hellish imagery but completely misses the point of the story.

They did an amazing job paying homage to the game series and explored each of the themes in Silent Hill 2. It wasn't rushed, it was well-paced, measured psychological horror but even someone who is new to the game series will understand exactly what is happening here, and someone who is familiar with SH will be delighted at the care the filmmakers took in honoring the story. You're in for a treat!

It's a video game inspired movie. It was enjoyable but as the dialogue played out -- the ending of the movie was a little all over the place.
