Silent Hill: Revelation Director Michael J Bassett Brings Konami Game Horror To Life In 3D

Konami’s Silent Hill game franchise is still going strong, with Silent Hill Downpour and Silent Hill HD Collections the most recent releases. The game series now officially has a film franchise, as well, thanks to the release of Open Road Films’ Silent Hill: Revelation 3D. The first film opened number one at the box office and made over $100 million worldwide back in 2006. The sequel is based on the Silent Hill 3 game.

I actually liked the first SH movie, I was waiting for a sequel.

[ritsuka666]

And this is why Silent Hill and Resident evil sucks in this days, I mean this movies are very rushed, it seemed they were more interested in the action than actually trying to tell a story. And lol@ the actors of this movies is just laughable!

[Kalowest]

The movie wasn't rushed, it was in the making for years. RE sucked after the first two movies.

is this movie really that bad?
cuz i loved the first one.

im about to go watch it tonight but if its that bad.... idk .. maybe i should skip it.

anyone else wants to share their thoughts?

Has anyone seen this yet? How is it? I love SH by the way.

There are definitely mixed feelings on it amongst fans. It's definitely closer to the games (SH3 mostly), and has alot of fun easter eggs too, but it's still different. Personally, i loved it. I love the games to death and i had alot of fun watching this movie. Watching Heather walk through SH while Akira Yamaoka's songs play in the background brought back some awesome memories. If you love SH. Watch this. Forget reviews and lower your expectations (to a reachable none fanboy place) and i think you'll be just fine.

I thought the 1st SH movie was good, but you have to play the game (or atleast know about SH) in order for the ending to make sense. My family seen the movie (4 of us), but I was the only one that got the ending.

I couldn't stand the first SH movie and prob won't even bother with the sequel

[GreenRanger]

My Silent Hill 3 is ruined!

[GrahamGolden]

the first silent hill was the best video game adaptation in theaters i think....can this one pull it of ? i wonder...

Visually the movie is very Silent Hill but there are a lot of inconsistencies with them. At times they will look great but other times not so much. Pyramid Head, the nurses & this one all CG monster were awesome so fans of Silent Hill may appreciate how they were handled in the film.

The 3D is alright. There were some times that the director used it as a gimmick that totally was unnecessary, could have been used better though.

The thing that made me think this film is not as good as the first is that even with some great actors like Carrie Ann Moss & Malcolm Mcdowell the dialogue is horrendous. There are some very long sequences with actors rambling about where the story is going. Some of the performances were terrible which really dragged this movie down.

So in my opinion not as good as the first movie overall but Silent Hill Revelations has some great moments for fans of the series but do not expect to be blown away about it. It is a marginally ok game to movie adaptation let down by a bad script.

fans of the series : 6.5/10 non fans : 5/10

I was planning to see it but the reviews and impressions I've been getting from people is just becoming a massive turn off for me.
I may wait until it's out on DVD as I'm a fan of the series and I would spend less money to watch a film.

I hope you enjoy my performance as Pyramidhead.

I gotta say i loved this movie it is def better than the resident evil films!

[Hekloreen]

Horrible movie. Not even worthy of articulating how bad. The only redeeming thing of this movie is Adelaine Clemens. Perfect Heather.
