Best movie ever!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

From someone who has a soft spot for its predecessor and believes 'Silent Hill 3' is one of the greatest horror video games ever, it disappoints me that this adaptation is one of the worst. The Silent Hill franchise is based on atmosphere. All director Bassett had to do was create an eerie ambience, and yet he failed at the simplest of tasks. A teenager on the eve of her eighteenth birthday is pulled to an alternate dimension known as Silent Hill where her real identity is revealed. Right, the inherent problem is continuity. It tries to adapt the third game in a series whilst also providing a sequel to the original film. Automatically, the story has changed from its source material to conform to the necessary continuity that literally makes no sense. Im-compre-mother-flipping-hensible. There's a cult wanting to birth a deity, a talisman that does something, a fellow student that coincidentally reveals himself as the son of the cult's leader and...I'm trying my absolute hardest to not give up on my own sanity here! The acting was terrible, catastrophic even. Bean and Harington consistently lose their accents whilst Clemens has all the acting talent of a lemon (hint: none). Somehow, Moss and McDowell were enticed to play roles. What? How? Why!? Every character was wasted and simply acted as convenient plot devices. The unfocused story lost me about ten minutes into the film. Then we come to the visual effects. Sweet mother of Toyama (to which he would be absolutely disgusted with this), this atrocity is plagued with some of the most horrific effects ever. The apparent green screen, weird spider doll thing, dismembered limbs and relentless onslaught of 3D gimmicks melted my brain. When the first scene is someone badly disintegrating due to spontaneous combustion, you just know you've let yourself in for a bad time. Aside from Pyramid Head, the creepy nurse scene and Yamaoka's score, there is nothing else to enjoy here. Absolutely nothing. It's no revelation that this sequel should be trapped in Silent Hill.

I hate seeing Adelaide Clemens in such a bad movie, normally I would watch anything with her in it. I rarely stop watching a movie once I start, but this one I just couldn't watch. It probably appeals to the game players, that's the only reason I can think of for it getting a 5 rating instead of a 1. If you aren't a fan of the game, don't waste your time. I could list the reasons it's so bad but that would waste more of my time.

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

This film is a sequel to "Silent Hill" and, although the semi-open end of the film allows to guess the sequel, I did not expect it to be any better than the original. And I hit it. This movie is frankly worse than the first one. It kept the impressive CGI that terrifyingly frightened us in the first film, but is no longer able to make us jump out of the chair. It simply lost that impact. It gets worse when the story fails to obtain the indispensable credibility. It is simply unbelievable and even goes against the first film. The poor script is reinforced by a miserable and unhappy direction, both by Michael J. Bassett. None of the actors in the movie lived up to expectations, which only tells us how bad the director's performance was. This film further proves that a good screenplay and a good director are essential to the success of a movie, and that a good sequel should at least keep part of the original film crew.
