Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

destinylives52 The second movie to try to capitalize on the hit, video game series "Silent Hill," "Silent Hill: Revelation" has a father and daughter (played by Sean Bean and Adelaide Clemens, respectively) forced to go back to a place where evil waits to be unleashed upon the entire world. Clemens knows she is the key to the release of this great evil, but she risks it all to save her father. Into the nightmarish world of Silent Hill she goes, where failure will doom her and the world into an eternity of hell.My most memorable, movie moment of "Silent Hill: Revelation" is the scene when Clemens' sort of love interest — played by Kit Harrington — sees some weird and scary stuff in Clemens' apartment. Having known her for less than a day, and having been warned by Clemens that Harrington does not want to know her, he still stays with her and helps her! He's either an extremely nice guy or extremely horny. As it turns out, there is another reason for his decision to stick it out with her.The biggest flaw of "Silent Hill: Revelation" is that it's not scary enough. I've played some of the "Silent Hill" video games…those were scary as hell (I played them in the dark). The movie's focus is on action instead of palpable dread and terror, giving the audience a lot of eye candy at the expense of horror. This is an inexcusable failure on the writer, the director, and the studio. All they had to do was follow what the video games did. Simple, right? Apparently, not for some people. There's a saying: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."Mannysmemorablemoviemoments

Eric Stevenson With a 5% on RottenTomatoes, I'm really impressed at how people are a lot nicer to this film here. Well, a 5.0's still a pretty low score, but still. Anyway, this is an embarrassing and unnecessary sequel to one of the uh, least awful video game movies ever made. The 3D really comes off as gaudy in this. It can be so distracting when you don't have any glasses. Maybe this is why I'm not into 3-D. Pyramid Head does in fact appear, but only in brief bits. As the movie ends, he briefly fights the main villain...for some reason. I don't really know why. This has one of the most pointless after credits scene as it's just ten seconds of him walking around.It was hard to understand what was going on in this movie. The plot is that this girl is moving around the country with her father who murdered a guy. Her father is kidnapped and she has to go to Silent Hill. This movie just hit it with the clichés. They have the writing in blood, the evil clown, the omnious dreams, basically everything you'd expect in a bad movie like this. I know that tropes are not clichés. These are just done so predictably they are clichés. I knew this guy introduced in school would be a main character. I knew Alessa would say they were already in Hell. It's a stupid pointless movie everyone can skip. *1/2

NateWatchesCoolMovies I'll admit that Silent Hill: Revelation pales dimly compared to the first excellent film, and is kind of a slipshod mess, but it's a lovable mess in my books, still a Silent Hill film after all, and kind of wins points just for bringing back some of it's old cast as well a few newcomers. Silent Hill is one of my favourite horror films of the 2000's, and I waited on this sequel like a dog, through production delays and distribution hell, and I think somewhere along the way I realized it wasn't going to measure up, but nothing would deter me from seeing it. Well, it squeaked out onto Blu Ray and made a tiny splash on everyone's collective radar, prompting terrible reviews. The story more or less picks up where the first one left off, if a few years down the road. Sharon (now played by Adelaide Clemens) and her father Christopher (Sean Bean returns) have been on the run for most of her teenage life, eluding the dark forces from the town of Silent Hill, which still linger and follow them. One day Christopher disappears, and Sharon is forced to confront her past (which she curiously has no memory of) and return to dreaded Silent Hill, assisted by a mysterious hunk (Jon Snow, who does know some stuff here, and more than he let's on). Once she's there it's essentially more of the same, with abstract looking demons running about, a disconcerting tarantula made from spare mannequin limbs (shudder) scuttles aroind, that relentless fog permeating every alcove and street, as well as a new arch villain in the form of terrifying Claudia (Carrie Ann Moss, of all people), a matriarchal cult leader who creates all kinds of trouble for Sharon. We are treated to a brief ghostly appearance by Sharon's mother Rose (Radha Mitchell cameo), the return of damaged soul Dahlia Gillespie (Deborah Kara Unger) Sharon's birth mother and far more coherent this time around, and a bizarre special appearance by a blind, babbling Malcolm McDowell, whose part in the whole mess still escapes my comprehension. The 3D effects are odd and stand out in not so much of a good way, the plot makes little sense when compared to the first, and where the first was eerie, elemental and atmospheric, this one is clunky, rushed and nonsensical. But you know what? I kinda liked it all the same. One thing I really enjoyed is a very well done WWE smackdown of a fight between a souped up Moss and the infamous Pyramid Head, who pulls a T-101 here and actually steps in to save the day. It's the one sequence that achieves that hellish, otherworldly aura which ran through both the games and the first film like an undercurrent, and as a rule. It's too bad they decided to replace Jodelle Ferland with a badly rendered CGI dollface in scenes where that little brat Alessa shows up, the effects there are abysmal. Watch for Peter Outerbridge briefly as trucker Travis O' Grady, a character from the games who I imagine would have gone on to star in a third film, which seems unlikely now. If you're a fan of the first film, you may get a marginal kick out of this, or at least certain aspects, but only if you're feeling generous. It ain't all that.

Davis P I liked this film more than I thought I would, but that still doesn't mean I liked it. Adelaide was a good choice for heather/Sharon, I liked her acting in the lead role. Sean Bean was alright In his role of Christopher. As you know, that is if you follow my reviews, I did not like the original Silent Hill film, I rated it a 2/10. I kinda liked this sequel a little better, but it still is not a good movie. The special effects are lackluster and really nothing special. This movie does have some flashbacks to the original silent hill, which I liked. But this movie's plot is rather muddled and confusing, and it gets boring after a while, that's why i didn't enjoy this movie as a whole. I liked Vincent's character, he was probably my favorite part of the entire film. And I like the Romance angle too. Also the gore got to be too much in a couple scenes. 4/10 for Silent Hill: Revaluation 3D.
