Critics Consensus

Silent Hill is visually impressive, but as with many video game adaptations, it's plagued by inane dialogue, a muddled plot, and an overlong runtime.

Where this movie shines is in its disturbing imagery, its very creepy visuals, and the stunning production design.

Rated: B

Silent Hill starts out at point A and then goes so quickly, loudly and visually over-the-top that it flies completely off the rails into its own glorious weirdness.

While this adaptation was surprisingly faithful to the game, when told through the medium of film the plot is a bloated and confusing mess. It is hard to connect with the film’s characters in the onslaught of horror imagery and exposition dumps.

Rated: 2/5

…Silent Hill is no masterpiece, the plotting is lopsided, the climax confusing and somewhat repellently violent in a Clive Barker way, but it’s also a strong, female-driven story with exquisite visuals and sound design…

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

The result looks better than most based-on-a-video-game adaptations, but the storytelling is just as dim as we’ve come to expect from such material.

Rated: 2.5/4

an impeccable atmosphere along with visual effects that have aged surprisingly well, help to make this a lot better than one would expect.

One of the few times where a film in the "game universe" is done right and an average horror viewer can enjoy it. Good film and always enjoy rewatching it!

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

A poor adaptation of the game's story, and a poor story for the movie overall, is overcome by a very interesting aesthetic film heightened by great cinematography.

Silent hill has very dark and disturbing and as a horror film lover I definitely recommend it! I love the movie plots that keep you guessing and thinking of what is gonna happen next, silent hill definitely keeps you guessing especially leaving off on such a big cliff hanger!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I watched this when I wasn11 as my first horror movie. After being surrounded by silent Hill media most of my childhood, this movie was the nail in the coffin that made me fall in love with horror for years on end. Sure it may have flaws, but when it sparks a whole years long obsession, I'm sure it has a lot to it. Definitely would recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
