May 23, 2007I was impressed. Never played the games and the movie was a good plot and interesting characters and great backdrop. Loved it.

Frustratingly no matter how hard you give the film sympathy trying your best to understand it's story as it progresses, Silent Hill just simply doesn't make any sense. But I thought it was a decent effort... read more -
August 14, 2011Something about this movie just works. It's more of an adventure than a movie. The music, the sets, the plot, the everything... even that crazy super lesbo cop lady.
Also, I like barbed wire. -
October 21, 2010Staying true to the awesome-ass abandoned city background of the video games, Silent Hill takes it's twisted-as-shit storyline and imagery and sets itself apart from the other supernatural horror films that have come out in the past decade or so. I wasn't sure I'd even like it, b... read more

October 12, 2010Not the greatest of it's kind, but it works well for the type of atmosphere it's trying to accomplish. The visuals are pretty cool and it works well as an action/horror movie with some good characters. The story is interesting and definitely worth your time, it's just not anythin... read more

A pretty good horror flick. I just don't like computerized demons, I'm old school so I prefer the "Make-Up Artist" to do their thing.
The interest is fired up when arriving to "Silent Hill" and discovering bewildering revelations that add to a great twi... read more -
July 4, 2010Silent Hill is a terrific film. When done correctly, a video game can be adapted to the big screen. Silent Hill proved that. Christoph Gans, who directed the film is a die-hard Silent Hill fan. So it was necessary for him to make it as convincing as possible. He succeeded. This i... read more

June 29, 2010"Congratulations, Rose. You're here. You did it. Your reward...is the truth."
It's not often that video game movies succeed in being entertaining while also keeping in the spirit of what made that particular game successful in the first place, but Silent Hill pulls it off as we... read more -

January 14, 2010The reason I watched the movie was because the begining sounded good....but that took like 10 minutes and the rest of the movie was pretty much crap...good ending though

Silent Hill is mostly paralyzing in its vagueness. Full Review

Nathan Lee, New York Times
Structured around a series of blackouts and gross-outs, Silent Hill is one long free fall through icky surrealism and underlighted nightmares.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
A great-looking but stupefyingly incoherent supernatural thriller,

Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail
Though Silent Hill's shoddy dialogue and incoherent story constantly irritate, several sights and scenes possess a certain surreal grandeur. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
The film is overlong, with too many unnecessary scenes (a lot of the movie seems like pointless running around), but it packs in a few scary moments and offers a nicely ambiguous conclusion. Full Review

Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News
Too long by about a half hour, very much in love with its own excessive style, it still manages to be kinda creepy, at least when it stops taking its metaphysics too seriously. Full Review

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
The makers of the movie you're slogging through will spare no expense to demonstrate how much they hate us. Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Christophe Gans' convoluted, overlong adaptation of the video game Silent Hill is the worst kind of horror movie: trash that takes itself seriously. Full Review

Jan Stuart, Newsday
[Silent Hill] works up a decent amount of solid, creep-show atmosphere in its first act before making some absurd decisions of its own in its second. Full Review
