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.

Maybe it's the kudos acquired by screenwriter Roger Avary in his association with Quentin Tarantino that has allowed him to write this unbelievably boring horror-thriller.
French director Christophe Gans's adaptation of the Silent Hill computer game is visually inspired and thematically ambitious, yet ultimately uninvolving.
Stuffed with cheap effects and devoid of tension, this French-Japanese-U.S. co-production contributes exactly zilch to the rich film history of those three nations.
The film's peculiar rhythms%u2014action, exposition, action, exposition%u2014betray its video-game roots, but audiences unfamiliar with the Silent Hill series can be forgiven for thinking that the game asks players to run from place to place, shouting a l
Silent Hill is mostly paralyzing in its vagueness.
Structured around a series of blackouts and gross-outs, Silent Hill is one long free fall through icky surrealism and underlighted nightmares.
An atmospheric, disturbing and bloody movie, very true to the video games. [Full review in Spanish]
Visually arresting but only sporadically enthralling.
It's one of the best video game adaptations I've seen in years.
Whilst not as atrocious as some other films that have opened this year, the truely woeful story and quality of Silent is saved only by its occasion moments of visual flair, and its all over effective creepy atmosphere.
When everything starts being explained, the mystery evaporates and the world of the game loses its eerie bafflement.
The latest, most ambitious and perhaps least comprehensible video game adaptation in recent memory.
First time watching this since 2006, but original 5 star rating holds. Very creepy and disturbing.
Super Reviewer
Gans deserves praise for investing in the movie's atmosphere with an evocative cinematography and several stunning sets that look incredibly disturbing and creepy as hell - but even so, some of the scenes are way too uncomfortably graphic and the CGI creatures look atrocious.
I was impressed. Never played the games and the movie was a good plot and interesting characters and great backdrop. Loved it.
