Depressing follow up
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.
