Silent Hill: Revelation Reviews
"Come to Silent Hill" reads a "scary" message left for teen damsel Heather. Hell, no.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 2, 2012
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.
| Original Score: 0/5 | Nov 2, 2012
"Revelation" is incredibly boring as well as totally baffling.
| Oct 28, 2012
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.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 26, 2012
Silent Hill: Revelation 3D quickly devolves into a smorgasbord of sutured faces and blades poking the viewer in the eye.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 26, 2012
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.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 26, 2012
An ugly, assaultive collection of jump-scares.
| Original Score: D+ | Oct 26, 2012
Once the 3-D special effects look dated, this head-scratcher of a movie could be ripe to become a camp classic. But for now, the humorless approach to this inane mess is embarrassing rather than hilarious.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 26, 2012
Silent Hill is not a place you want to go, and that applies for moviegoers as well as this videogame adaptation's characters.
| Oct 26, 2012
It confirms once again that with the notable exception of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, a film that feels like a videogame is never a positive development.
| Original Score: D | Oct 26, 2012
With horror altogether absent and a plot drowning in insipid convolutions, it's a film whose early warning to Heather should be heeded: "Don't go to Silent Hill."
| Oct 26, 2012
"Do not go to Silent Hill!" That's one of the first lines of dialogue, but by that point you've probably already realized the magnitude of your mistake.
| Original Score: .5/5 | Oct 26, 2012
A cheaper, cheesier sequel that's worse than its predecessor on every level (save being a half-hour shorter) and takes no special advantage of the stereoscopic process.
Full Review | Oct 26, 2012
Silent Hill: Revelation fundamentally misunderstands the appeal its source material.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 26, 2012
Nothing is praiseworthy, but with such an absurd script, even the somewhat successful elements are rendered ridiculous.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 26, 2012
As far as sub-literate, incomprehensible pieces of garbage are concerned, 'Silent Hill: Revelation 3D' is one of the year's best.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 26, 2012
Only true devotees of the game are likely to recognize many of the figures on the screen, or care about a byzantine story stitched together from innumerable horror and fantasy shows.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 26, 2012
