Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is the nadir of senseless seasonal cinema. But while Bassett's film struggles to say anything coherently, it gets the most important message across perfectly well: "Do not go to Silent Hill!"
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
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.
One step worse than most of these video game movies. It feels less like a game and more like what happens when you leave your PlayStation on and it becomes a kind of dim screensaver. If we had a controller in our hand, we would probably throw it at the screen.

Silent Hill is not a place you want to go, and that applies for moviegoers as well as this videogame adaptation's characters.

Some horror movies want to scare you witless, but Silent Hill: Revelation 3D just wants to beat you senseless.
Stiff, episodic, and disjointed, Silent Hill: Revelation 3D replicates its source material all too faithfully.
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."
