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.

Tribune News Service

Put this much effort into bringing your idea of Hell to the screen, film fans will start calling you Satan. And not in a good way.

"Come to Silent Hill" reads a "scary" message left for teen damsel Heather. Hell, no.

I realize it's called Silent Hill for a reason, but enduring this botched (video game-based) nightmare is like sleepwalking into the world's dullest Halloween party.

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

Somehow manages to avoid delivering much of what made either the first movie or the original video game series appealing, with its confounding narrative feeling entirely accidental as opposed to intentionally mysterious.

Rated: 2/5

Maclean's Magazine

I was impressed by the film's production values and visual panache. Between the Rembrandt burnish of the cinematography and the antique-store detail of the design, ugliness has never looked so pretty.

Fanboys of the Universe

A mesmerizing display of human grotesquerie like Hieronymous Bosch filtered through Clive Barker, and that's exactly how it should be.

If you watched the first you definitely should watch the second, but I just feel like there’s a lot more the producers could’ve done. It was just too fast and choppy and just jumped right into a random story line with no explanation, kind of a let down. I am however excited for the return this year!

Storyline is good, but I really couldn't get spooked by this movie. The graphics were very much "CGI is new let's see what's passible & what isn't." I didn't feel the need to hide my eyes & the ominous feeling throughout the other movies wasn't present for this one.

I mean, it went pretty fast and the random character design change was a little random. i'm not a critic but I believe the effects were pretty shitty compared to the first movie. i don't recommend it, I mean what happened to rose?? they never even cover that and where the fuck did these other people come from? it doesn't cover much, so it's hard to follow. anyway don't recommend !! justice for rose

I think the story and detail are impressive and it goes well with the first movie. It's a decent horror movie with a twisted storyline.

I made a Rotten Tomatoes account just to leave this review. 8% is too good for this movie. I'm a major fan of the (first three) Silent Hill games. The first SH movie had some issues with it, but is captured the atmosphere pretty well. I was so excited for this sequel. I went to see it in theaters the day it came out. It was terrible!!!! I was so upset my friend had to hold me down to keep me from storming out. M. J. Bassett went on and on about making a true movie for SH fans then gave us this rubbish. Worst movie I've ever seen. I'd give it negative 10 stars if I could. Even removing the SH elements, it'd still be gutter trash on its own. Terrible job. Terrible director. The fans were betrayed. Anytime someone mentions the Silent Hill movies, I correct them and say there's only one. The second one doesn't exist.
