I went to the theater to see this is 3D. Needless to say, I was the only person there. It's ok though. I am a huge fan of Silent Hill. I have played the video games and that is what had drawn me to this. First, if you must see it in 3D, it will only be worth your while for the few scenes with the ash floating in the air. The rest of it could do without 3D. So, not really worth your money for 3D. The story pretty much went along the lines of the Silent Hill 3 video game. The outfits, monsters, storyline went along the same lines. Even the actors looked the same. I didnt think the first one was all that great, but after a 6 year layoff, I really thought they were going to step it up on this one, I was wrong! This story was not good at all. I was concerned a bit if they were going to follow true to the game because there was a scene in the game where ababy is bornby way of vomiting it up and then the lady eats the baby in a church. Quit distrubing. Thankfully, that is not in the movie. Nonetheless, it was still a terrible movie. I thought the first one was better than this. There are really no scary parts to make you jump or anything. I would have to say pass on this. Unless you are a fan of the video games, like myself. There is no reason for anyone to watch this that has not played the game as they will not understand the story. Plus, the story in the games seem more compelling than the big screen dowes. They need to leave it for the video games....but the end does set it up nicely for a 3rd installment (if they want to). If you must see it, wait for DVD at best.
Pros special effects
Cons bad acting, slow
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This sequel was simply sad. Bad screen writing led to bad acting. Any amount of fantastic special effects could not cover up the holes. I did enjoy seeing the film in 3D, however, particularly in scenes that included the foggy ash floating through the sky like quiet snowflakes. Other than that-I wouldn't say it was terrible, but it certainly was not great.
Pros creepy creatures
Cons bad acting, bad screenplay
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Much better. I love the story as it follows from what I know from the games pretty well. I would have given this a 4 star rating only if it had been a bit more catching, drawing me in, pull me to the edge effect in the scenes that really should have done so. Also there were a lot of anti-climatic moments that I felt could have been a lot better. The carousel scene is one of those. I don't wish to put too much detail into this as I don't want to spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it yet.
Again, I liked the movie, I just felt it lacked in a few key parts that would have really sent this over. It's a lot on the direction of the movie more so than anything. Also, I had to go see this in 3D, let me say, it'd been just fine in 2D, none of the movies coming out in 3D are all that impressive with the 3D part of it. The flurries coming off the screen now and then were the only parts that even remotely had much of an effect.
I come from the old school of 3D, Terminator 3D, Jaws 3D, Amityville Horror 3D, Friday the 13th 3D, etc..... The one that sticks out the most was Terminator 3 in 3D however, because things really did jump off of the screen and make you feel like you needed to duck. Today they film a scene here, scene there in 3D, while the rest of the movie is shot in 2D, there is the major difference. The other is that they're mainly doing it for atmospheric and while that's nice and all, it doesn't really work on a semi-flat wide screen. That would be better on a circular, dome like screen setting, so that it would surround you and pull you into the scene.
Anyway, back to the movie itself. I never got to see the first one, friend of mine is nagging me to see that one. So this review is completely unbiased. As I am a big time Horror Movie buff, but I haven't even played the games themselves. So this is strictly my feeling on this as a movie not a tie-in to anything.
The actors seemed to be very genuine, believable for the most part. There were a couple of scenes I felt were a bit rushed or lack of emotion. All movies can have a spot or two of this, it by far didn't ruin my enjoying the movie though. So over all I'm giving it 3 stars and saying it is worth seeing, just don't do the 3D if you can keep from it. That was just not worth the price at all....
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Cons 3d needs a lot more thought!, some scenes needed better development.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

As I true fan and player of the Silent Hill series I was very impressed with the film. I saw in 3D and was on the edge of my seat most of the time. The story line was good and the actors acted well. I would recommend this movie for pure enjoyment and for those who love Silent Hill.
Pros well paced, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The Silent Hill environment of the first film comes to life in great realism and details with RealD 3D and Sony 4K. Falling ashes fill the entire theater. The main actress looks and acts like the teenage protagonist of the Silent Hill 3 game. The story differs significantly from the game though. It's not a scary horror flick, but a great beautifully-short fast-pace thriller.
Pros seal of metatron, heather in silent hill 3, great thriller
Cons heather has long sleeves, heather has no pendant, no suspense
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Wicked. That's my best description of this great new movie. The artwork and music were "blow me away" good and the 3-D effects created a very true-to-life illusion of traveling through a haunted house instead of simply watching a movie.
Pros wicked fun
Yes, I recommend this movie.
