Was really looking forward to this and such a let down. Two really good actors made to look stupid (Malcolm McDowell, Sean Bean). Seemed pointless and just rehashing allot of the elements from the first film, which was much more enjoyable.
Just fill it with the nurses and that would have made me happy :D
Begins well, with the familiar Silent Hill music and a chilling atmosphere but then descends into a mishmash of Silent Hill mythology which will confuse newcomers to the universe and frustrate long term fans.
Great visuals, horrible B class acting, other than McDowell.
If I had to describe this movie in one word, it would be "lazy." The writing is lazy, the editing is lazy, the directing is lazy. It seemed more like they were trying to depend on the 3D effects to carry the movie. Granted the first movie wasn't high art, but at least it had entertainment value and a mostly cohesive story. This one barely builds on that, and many parts of the story make no sense. Character motivations amount to little more than "because I said so." Skip this one.
While not entirely unenjoyable, it could have been a lot better. I guess it's an achievement of sorts when the script is so bad that even a cast like this can't save the film.
Where is the will know Silent Hill horror in this unnecessary sequel? This movie stands pale in the shadow of the first one. They still have the nerve to end it with the promise of yet another sequel! This is very insulting for the Silent Hill video game fans.
:heart:x6
I rewatched this movie and - well - it is an interesting epilogue to the original Silent Hill (2006) but we certainly could have done just fine without this movie.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
"The darkness is coming. It's safer to be inside."
All the good faith I gave the first Silent Hill was wiped away with this one. I sure hope the next one doesn't rely on 3D gimmicks and go for bare minimum.
Excellent visual effects but plot is weak.
Whilst it cant measure up to the first movie,I found id did certanly hold its own candle, It could have been executed a lot worse, Yet in some regards it was a bit lacking, The story was realy linear and was quit predictable, The acting was decent however. Another thing i noticed where the lineup of actors cast in various parts. "Carrie Ann Mos, Sean Bean, Malcom Mcdowel",
Nice seeing these actors again but in my respect they where poorly utilized.
The Effects however where one of the things i did enjoy about this movie, as well as te sets and the lightning and also the camera works. As the movie ends with yet another ending which hints at another sequel, I hope that if a third "Silent Hill" movie comes to pass. They will try to reinvent the franchise, and give everybody, movie goers but also hardcore fans of the game series something to truly enjoy. One thing i however disliked was that it was too much tailored for the 3D cinema scene,
Seeing that the movie received mosty negative critics and ratings it neverthles still groced more then its production cost where, as far as the movie franchische is concerned the question will remain will we get to see another chapter to this story.
What the hell? I heard this was bad but figured it couldn't be all that bad. It was. When you can fall asleep during a horror movie, it's bad.
Wow I expected this one to blow me away seeing my Fiance and I loved the first one... But this one was just full of fan service and a almost non-existant plot...
Saying that I Liked the ending though... Ties in with the latest TV game "Down Pour" with the pison bus driving into Silent Hill in the end...
Another horrible video game movie, the director and writters have never played a silent hill game and don't know anything about relationships or decent plot twists. This movie was horrible.
