Silent Hill: Revelation

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.

  • "Revelation" is incredibly boring as well as totally baffling.

  • Demonstrates what half the budget and twice the story can do to turn a fake nightmare into a real chore.

  • The distinction between actors and special effects shrinks ever further in the video game-turned-horror film Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, which reduces its human players to plastic action figures in tired genre settings.

  • Silent Hill: Revelation 3D quickly devolves into a smorgasbord of sutured faces and blades poking the viewer in the eye.

  • It's never a good sign when the trailers playing before a film have richer, more complete narratives than the feature you've paid to see.

  • An ugly, assaultive collection of jump-scares.

Audience Reviews for Silent Hill: Revelation

  • Sep 18, 2015
    If "revelation" means endless exposition that doesn't reveal absolutely anything about what we already know from the first movie, then it would have been preferable to see something closer to an actual plot or at least more appealing sets, if Bessett had any imagination for that.

    Garbage. Not only a let down to the source material, but more importantly pisses in the face of the film it is a sequel to. The effects suck, the story *really* sucks and somehow even the acting sucks, despite knowing the cast is capable from their past work. Silent Hill: Revelation somehow brings everyone involved down to its low, low, low level.

    I invite audiences to separate the elements of this sequel (and of any film in existence) for individual analysis rather than saying that it failed to replicate or to pay proper tribute to what the original film managed to do simply because the whole sequel was a disaster. Allow me to state that the vision of horror presented here is solid. This would rank decently in a list consisting in cinematic visions of hell. The film was shot decently as well for not making audiences miss too many details from this dark world. And finally, we can state the obvious: Every single basic film-making element possible that you can think of was exceptionally bad. I condemn this feature-length abortion to the flames of the true Silent Hill of Konami. 35/100

    Not too bad slightly better than the first film as this one is set a few years after.
