    The Silent Hill Revelation

    by

    First off I will say this, you have to see the first movie for this one to make any sense.
    Alot of people are seeing this movie that haven't seen the first one, and they are left confused about everything. Now as for this movie, the progression of the story I thought was really cool. The symbolism and metaphors used I found very intriguing, and again the progression made in the story is very cool (if you can understand it). This movie didn't scare me much, personally I found the first one a lot more scary cause you didn't see all the monsters. This one didn't use the cloak and dagger approach as much, it's more of a straight up slasher approach with the monsters and the darkness. So I prefer the approach of the first movie more, but they definitely did good on the special effects here. I enjoyed this movie and it's message, and I hope they make a 3rd one. Go see it BUT seeing the first one is mandatory, it's on crackle right now, so go watch that before you decide to see this or not.

    Ok

    by kickindajunk02

    This was rather a disappointment. I thought the 1st one was a lot better then this one. This one is a lot more gory and less spooky as the first. I probably won't buy this when it comes out

    Actually, not too bad.

    by

    To be honest, there were parts that seemed rushed and could have been alot better. But altogether, the movie didn't feel too long for being an hour and a half, and the story line was pretty good. In the end, you feel fulfilled and satisfied. Altogether, pretty good.

    Silent Hill, good sequel!

    by beltboy90

    All fans of the original Silent Hill have to go see Silent Hill: Revelation! The story goes on and questions get answered, and all the horrors of the first movie with some new, creepier demons return for this gruesome sequel. Must note that me and my friend saw it in regular, not 3-D and it was perfectly fine. If you're questioning which to watch it in, don't spend the extra!

    Not Better than the First

    by msi.simpson

    It was overall Boring. It did have some scenes where you jumped, or it was a lot of suspense, but defintely not worth the 15 dollars spent. -_- Wait for DVD or Netflix!

    One of the better sequels

    by D-Alexander

    Definitely a nice follow up. It retconned the first movie a bit, but it wasn't anything major. Just some small tweaking to keep it cohesive. They brought back some of the original members from the first to reprise rolls which was nice. I always hate recasts when they're unnecessary because the new person rarely comes close to the original. The dialogue was well written and the ambiance through the different scenes was very carefully maintained. In general it was well paced and the special effects were improved upon. There were some new creatures introduced that were well imagined and created, and the scene in the asylum is arguably on of my personal favorites. Basically, if you liked the first, you'll want to see the second.

    Exceeded my expectations.

    by stephy_182

    Before going to see this movie, everyone said it was a waste of money. After watching, I thought those people may have accidentally gone into a different movie, cause I thought it was great. But it definitely was not up to the standards the first movie set. I think to get the full benefit of it, you probably had to have played Silent Hill 3. There was some corny dialogue at the beginning, and it didn't have the same freaky look the first one did. However, the first full-on Pyramid Head scene almost made me pee. Hate that guy, he haunts my nightmares. The whole Asylum scene was very freaky, 5 stars on that. A little disappointed they didn't use the same little girl for Alessa this time around, but I guess everyone grows up, huh? *spoiler, maybe?* Also happy they hinted toward more movies at the end, hopefully someone else will direct it and give it back that freaky look we loved about the first one. Over-all I think it's a great movie, worth 8 bucks of your hard earned cash.

    Before you go, read the plot of the 1st movie on wiki

    by MickyCsr

    Before I went to this movie, I read the plot line of the 1st installment of Silent Hill on wiki. I'm glad I did. It made all the difference in the world. I would have been lost without the refresher. As long as you familiarize yourself with the basic plot from the first movie, you'll be fine - and as a result enjoy the movie much more.

    Awesome Game Remake!

    by

    i am sick of these "critics; ripping this moving apart,They obviously did not play the games nor saw the first film. Second off, stop comparing this to the 1st movie, as it is not supposed ot TIe in at all, THESE are 2 Different films. This movie takes place in Silent Hill 3, with a new character , Heather. Now the new director did his job , making it scary.
    it has its moments, but if you are a TRUE silent hill fan you will enjoy this gem! Screw you haters!

    Depressing follow up

    by Eklipse80

    Being a fan of the Silent Hill game franchise the first movie had a lot to live up to and in most cases it did. It did a fair job of translating the mood and atmosphere of the games onto film. Sadly the follow up, Silent Hill Revelations, failed in every aspect. It starts off with a very promising opening but quickly falls apart. This movie is an example of what happens when you pair a screenwriter and a director who obviously have no love for the source material. I will keep this spoiler free but to be frank all aspects of this story are either contrived, convoluted, or not necessary. We have a lot of buildup to a rushed, confusing, and disappointing ending. Everything fails in this movie, the cinematography, the visual effects, the acting, and even the sound design. This movie is a complete failure. This is a shame because the game franchise has some of the best backstory out there, instead of seeing this movie I suggest you purchase and play the games.

    Silent Hill.. Emphasizing on the Silent. (SPOILER)

    by

    I had been waiting for this for a few years now, and was quite excited to see this. Though after seeing the movie kinda felt like, "Huh?" To start off, it fills a few holes from the first, and brings back old monsters* and some new ones. It lacks the creep and gore that the first one had, but is still visually appealing. The movie feels rushed and predictable, and the acting is alright from a non-theater/critic perspective. I hated that they added the love story, and the ''Clash of the Titan' battle at the end.

    Overall I did enjoy my time watching it, but I do no recommend for people who are looking for the creepy silent hill we saw in 2006, or looking for a cheap scare. This just ends up being a mediocre film that feels watered down and rushed.

    *No Fire babies :(

    Not bad, but not particularly good

    by GreatCthulhu

    This movie is all style and no substance. It looks good, has some genuinely creepy moments (usually ruined by a "gotcha" scare), a typically bizarre (and wonderful) performance by Malcolm McDowell, and some better than average 3D effects. But the narrative is a mess. The movie sends you into a non-stop barrage of horrifying images, taking a break every now and again to allow a character to explain what is happening. It's as if the writer knows you probably didn't see the first film (I did) or have not played the video games (I have) and needs to bring you up to speed. I never mind that a film does not follow a source game or book exactly (as I feel a movie must be able to stand on it's own merits--besides, if it did, I'd rather read the book or play the game!) but this one needed a few more rewrites. When you consider that the SH franchise of games is drenched in psychology and symbology, the films are a big disapointment.

    by sketron

    As always, Silent Hill films are always vague, so I expected that much. However it seemed to build up ridiculously for you to meet this big bad enemy, only to be a little disappointed in the end.
