Silent Hill: Revelation 3D

Plot synopsis:
Heather Mason (Sharon) has a nightmare in which she runs from faceless men at a fairground. She hides in the merry go round as the faceless men gather round closer and closer. Pyramid Head is shown chained to the center, riding a bike contraption that causes the merry go round to go in circles. Men strapped as horses on the merry go round yell at heather. Alessa also appears, claiming that she cannot be beat and Heather must not come to Silent Hill. Heather is consumed by fire and her screams are heard in reality. Her father, Harry (Christopher) wakes her up and explains that it was just a nightmare and as soon as they make their new house feel like home, her dreams will return to normal, but she must promise to not ever go to Silent Hill. Harry is then killed from behind by a creature of Silent Hill, Heather screams and wakes up for real this time.Heather draws something in her notebook, assumedly something about her dream. At breakfast, it is collected that they have changed their names, location/home, hair color, etc. many times in the past to enable them to keep running. Harry gives Heather her early birthday present, a white vest she had been looking at at the mall. She puts it on and heads for her first day of school. The rules are, she must go to school and come straight home so that she will be safe. While Heather is away her father looks at her drawing book, rips out the pages and puts them in a wooden box with a symbol carved on top. It is shown that he saves all of Heather's Silent Hill drawings in an envelope. He looks into the mirror and a flashback is shown. He speaks to Rose, Heather's mom and his wife, and it is shown that Rose and (Sharon) were once trapped in Silent Hill. Rose found a portal that only allowed one person to return to reality, she saved Sharon by passing her through the portal. Rose says shes trapped but there is nothing (Christopher) can do but he must protect Sharon now because they (Silent Hill) will come looking for her because they need her. The portal closes and Rose is gone but Sharon returns to Chris with no memory of what happened. He lies and tells her that she was in an accident and her mom is dead. A medallion of some sorts with a symbol (same symbol on the box) falls from Sharon's hand when her father holds her. The flashback ends. On her way to school, Heather comes near a homeless man, for a quick second he has no face and Heather, in fear, backs up and is almost hit by a car. A strange man approaches her, apologizing, he thinks he recognizes her but Heather waves him off and walks to the school bus. In class she is introduced as a new kid by the teacher. When a mean girl asks her if she gets all her clothes from goodwill and the teacher pushes her to talk about herself, Heather explains that she moves around a lot so no one should bother learning her name or anything about her because she definitely wont remember or care for them. Impressed, the teacher also introduces the second new student, Vincent Cooper, who jokingly says he cant top Heather's speech. In the crowded hallway, there's an announcement on the P.A. but it quickly turns to static. Confused, Heather looks up to find the hallway deserted and the dimmed lights flickering. She hears children chanting Burn the Witch! and looks inside the window of a classroom to find kids in a circle in an old fashioned classroom pushing a girl around (reference to the first Silent Hill movie). She steps away to look into another window, the children turn around to look at her. As she steps away again, a faint voice calls her real name Sharon Da Silva. The hallway turns into a hellish Silent Hill hallway. An armless creature begins his way towards her when suddenly Vincent comes up behind her, bringing her back to reality.They both talk but she rejects rudely his offer of having some coffee together.The same weirdo who talked to her at the bus stop is awaiting her. Heather walks back to school, bumping onto Vincent, who stares back at the man and Heather.She phones Dad telling him about the strange man. They set out a date at Happy Burger at the mall. Back at home, somebody is trying to enter. Dad says he loves her but he's taken.Heather waits and waits at the mall, sitting at a bench. He looks at a clown who's serving a birthday cake to a child called "Heather". The clown waves at her and happily dances around, while happy children are running and playing all over the place. When she sees "Happy birthday, Alessa" in a balloon everything becomes gory and terrifying. The strange man calls her Sharon and runs after her. The hamburgers they eat are being cut at the kitchen by a butcher (Jason Best) from a tortured man who's hanging down as cattle in the kitchen, and then they are fry-cooked by Sergey Shpakovsky. Heather can't talk to her father. The man runs after her and tells her that he's Douglas Cartland. He has been paid by the Order of Valtiel to find Sharon Da Silva. Heather/Sharon still thinks that they are being followed because the police accuses Harry of killing her mother, but Douglas tells her that she had been imprisoned in a place called Silent Hill. They want Heather back.They are attacked by a monster (Chad Camilleri) with a blade as an arm and a strange head and he cuts some fingers from Douglas. They run into the lift and the monster jumps on top of it. The attacker takes Doughlas away, who wants to really help Heather. She enters the rubbish room where a cleaner scares her. She takes off her jacket. When she leaves the school, the police are there, taking away the body of Douglas. That bloodied coat will lead them to the culprit, says Detective Santini (Jefferson Brown), holding a photo caption of Heather. Vincent is one of the bystanders and asks her what she saw inside. Vincent and Heather walk together. Frantically, Heather tries to contact her father, who won't pick up his mobile phone. Vincent lends his coat to Heather, who's trembling with cold.Heather looksat some priests waiting for her. Vincent can only see a jogger. In the bus, there's a strange man (Peter Schoelier) mumbling and trying to seduce her. The conversation moves to the unexisting different between fantasy and reality as Vicent's crazy father (Malcolm McDowell) Leonard used to say.Back home, Dad is not there. Heather calls out for him, but only Vincent approaches her. They both see the huge writing on the wall "COME TO SILENT HILL". Heather can't call the police. Heather recognises the round symbol, and tells Vincent that Silent Hill is the place of her nightmare, where Harry told her never to go. They check on the box with Heather's cutouts; she can't remember clearly wheyn she was adopted, and they also find the pendant which used to be Heather's, but one side is missing. Heather's got a gun.The police knock, possibly on a matter related to Cartland. Heather takes Vincent with her as she can't drive. The police busts the door open. They stare at the writing on the wall. To the enquire of Detective Cable (Milton Barnes), Santini says that Heather is a murder suspect.Heather reads Harry's letter to Sharon. Harry tried to protect Heather/Sharon at all costs. He didn't kill a random thief that day; he was a member of the Order told to take Sharon to Silent Hill, where she should not EVER EVER go. The Order needs Heather, he doesn't know why. - Images in sepia of Harry taking away Heather's school file from Ipwich High School. Harry has written books and books about the monsters and Silent Hill along the years. The story is that the British built a colony prison in a hill which used to be a cemetery for Native Americans, called the place of Silent Spiritis. The Order of Valtial have been waiting for 100 years for a child to be born, who will be the vessel for their god, who in turn would create a new world. There's also a newspaper cutout with the news about a fire going underground the town of Silent Hill, in the old mines. The place had to be abandoned, and the mines are still burning. Harry thinks that the Order of Valial tried to kill the demon Alessa, trying to burn her, but Alessa took revenge and brought darkness to the town.They arrive to the end of a road. Vincent insists on stopping. They arrive to Jack's, a derelict motel. Vincent advises not to go to Silent Hill. They hug each other. Heather dreams about Alessa invading the town with darkness. When she wakes up, she insists on going to Silent Hill. Vincent tells her not to do, because she belongs to the Order. She was born and raised in Silent Hill, but he was sent to the world to make sure she would come back with him. Vincent tells her that going back to the real world is possible for a short while, as long as there is a sacrifise and pain as price. He lifts up his shirt and he's been tattoed the sign of the order with a knife in his own flesh. Vincent tells her that they are taught that Alessa is keeping everybody in suffering and that Heather is part of that evil, but Vincent now believes that, if Heather is part of Alessa, she is actually the innocent part. In order to kill Alessa, she must be completed first; then the Order will be freed. Heather's father is kept alive in a Sanctuary under the city by Claudia Wolf (Carrie-Anne Moss), Vincent's mother. Heather is adamant to rescue Harry, and Vincent tells her that she will need the other half of the amulet.Throughout all this conversation, lights are flickering in and out, showing that evil is approaching. Leonard Wolf, Vincent's father, has got the other half in the asylum. Vincent wants to help Heather and go with her. Lights go out because the darkness is approaching.Walls start bleeding. Everything falls off. Behind, they can see the real scenery of terrifying Silent HIll. As Heather is part of Alessa, she can free the darkness in herself to enter the usually hidden realm. A monster takes Vincent but leaves Heather untouched - Heather needs to enter Silent Hill by her own volition. The darkness recedes and Heather wakes up in messy motel room No 10 in Silent Hill.Smog and fallen ashes surround the road leading to Silent Hill. People stare at Heather from behind closed windows. Churchbells are heard. Tied to a stake, with a huge placard saying TRAITOR, it looks that is Vincent's destiny. Dahlia (Deborah Kara Unger) arrives from behind the pole, and tells Heather that she shold not be there, because she'll be used. Heather knows who she is: Alessa's mother, who allowed the townspeople to burn her daughter as a witch. She was deceived; she thought Alessa was special, and that they would help her. Heather thinks that they all got what they deserved. Alissa didn't die - she was badly hurt but with her rage, her powers increased. She took revenge on the town and put the good innocent part of her soul in an innocent newly-born baby and the baby was Sharon, says Dahlia. Sharon was at Toluca County Orphanage and was adopted by unaware parents - Harry and Rose. She can't save Harry without condemming herself.Darkness arrives, everything seems to fly up and Heather runs. Inside is safer. There are broken dummies, including one which is alive, a young girl, who becomes a dummy and a girl (Rachel Sellan) who's about to become one. That girl is freed and says that the monster - a huge spider made of dummy parts - is approaching. The spider takes the head of the newly-transformed dummy, and includes it within itself. The head comes alive and screams. The spider finds them because the exit door is locked. It takes the other girl, who had lost herself in the woods, but Heather is able to leave.Claudia says that darkness convinced Vincent, but he says that Claudia's darkness created Alessa. Harry is tied down to a sculpture of the faceless monster. Claudia says that Vincent, in his madness, succeeded, and that where her sister Christabella failed, she will succeed as well. Vincent is taken to the asylum, while Harry wakes up.Heather finds the asylum and Leonard's medical file. He is in room 12, so she takes that key. Heather kills a monster who jumps on top of her. Heather finds the room. With her torchlight, she can see blind Leonard. He was chained by Claudia, her own daughter. Leonard looks like a monster himself anyway. Leonard laughs at the wailing sighs of Vincent. Leonard is an ongoing project, so he's not become a monster yet. He tells Heather to place the amulet in his hand, and she does, pointing his gun at him. Leonard recognises the seal which was used to take a child outside. The amulet unlocks the true nature of things. Leonard says that she has already found the other half, because it's hidden inside of him. He uses the half of the amulet to stab himself and rejoin the two pieces. Leonard can see and tries to kill Heather but she shoots him.The newly-born monster frees himself and takes Heather with him, but she takes the whole amulet out and the monster becomes only dust and ashes.Now she has the amulet whole again. She tries to talk to Alessa. Imprisoned men grab at her until the monster with the blade arm appears. He starts cutting arms with its axe. Heather crawls onto a hole.This corridor leads to a torture chamber. Several nurses are holding clubs, axes, butcher knives... They are blind, so they only move when they listen to something. They kill the two nurses who took Vincent there. He can't free himself without making noise.Heather appears. Vincent tells him that Harry is at the sanctuary under the fairground and that he can help her. She frees him and with noise, the nurses stab the air and them. The use the hospital bed as a shield. Heather can't understand how they can live like that, but Vincent says that it's all he's known in his life. Vincent still tries to convince her of leaving without her father. The fair starts working.They hide from some soldiers of the order in gas masks. They don't breath air directly because they think it corrupts them. Vincent kisses Heather and lures them away. It's exactly as in her nightmares. A soldier appears but takes off his mask and dies. The merry-go-round is working, and tongues of fire surround Heather. Alessa appears, first a child, then a teenager.Pyramid Head makes the merry-go-round move. Alessa says that each person has their personal nightmare in Silent Hill when Heather confronts her. Alessa tells Heather that she's not welcome. When Heather tells her to go to hell, Alessa says they're already there. They embrace each other, Alessa trying to kill Heather and Heather saying that she loves her regardless. They exchange looks until Alessa disappears in dust, Heather passes out and the merry-go-round stops.Heather wakes up. A door opens. Sharon/Heather meets her father, still tied. Claudia tells that darkness has invaded her sanctuary. Claudia wants to kill Harry so that his blood will feed the new god which will be born from Heather. Claudia says they need Heather's body. Vincent is present throughout all this conversation, but he can't do anything to help Heather.Heather offers the amulet to Claudia, saying that she wants to see what Claudia really is. When Claudia touches it, she shows herself to be a monster like any other of Alessa's servants. Claudia fights Pyramid Head. Heather and Vincent unty Harry while Pyramid Head kills Claudia's nightmarish figure.The three of them, Vincent, Heather and Harry leave. Harry says he can't leave. Harry wants to rescue Rose. Heather did her task, and he must do his. Harry tells Vincent to take care of Heather. Harry goes back inside Silent Hill.Both Heather and Vincent walk through a road. They thumb a lift from a lorry. The lorry driver is Travis Grady (Peter Outerbridge) and they finally leave Silent HIll.The second afterwards they finally leave the town, three police cars and a prison bus enter the smog-filled town.

Review:
Unfortunately Silent Hill: Revelation sets out to do two things: A) Continue the story SOMEWHAT from the first film to satisfy Silent Hill fans while having characters reveal story lines piece by piece in "plot dumps" that seem forced and out of place.
I'm going to forget for a second that I've played Silent Hill, I'm going to switch off my brain and look at this film as a standalone project, a generic horror film about a creepy town called Silent Hill.And as somebody who has forgotten all knowledge of the game series that this film is based on, it would be nice if the film itself could fill me in on the situation a little, instead of throwing 3d effects at the screen and trying (Poorly) to relay a story that makes so little sense that it almost becomes funny.Things happen for no reason and have little build-up or explanation, and it isn't too enjoyable thanks to the hokey acting from the majority of the cast, even stars like Sean Bean and Kit Harington turned in mediocre performances, though with the writing the way it was one can't exactly blame them.Now as someone who has seen the first film, this "sequel" (With the most original sequel name ever might I add) has little to do with the first.
The first ended in a bitter way that held no real place for a sequel to come in, so this whole film just seems tacked on for some extra cash.But I'm sure the real problem here is the shameless butchering of source material.If this film went under any other name or concept, it would be a badly acted straight to DVD movie that only plays on the Sci-fi channels, but because of the capitalisation on the name "Silent Hill" and the intellectual property of its creators, this film has been given a free pass, a pass which it did not use wisely.Once again, without any spoilers, it is safe to say that this film does nothing in the ways of conveying the moods and feelings of any of the original games, nor does it try to follow any of their stories, which would be just fine if they didn't spend every other minute shoving fan- service in my face, as if to say "Look!
Take a good long look at it!" Worst of all, the little nods that it gives to the game series are such big parts of the plot that you cannot ignore the fact that they are being used completely out of context, and it gets avid gamers like me really mad.All in all, newcomers to the series who like horror films will have a tough time understanding it, people who enjoyed the first film will probably lose interest fast, and anyone who has played the games will spend the entire film sitting in frustration.
The characters take a while to actually enter Silent Hill, and when they do the film quickly devolves from creepy moments to explaining the story, which is not particularly compelling.
Sure, I knew the move was going to be a bit gimmicky (being shot in 3D and all), and the trailers hadn't looked too promising, but as a fan of the Silent Hill series, I thought that maybe I'd still enjoy the film.
While the special effects are pretty solid, they just don't make up for the poor plot and dialogue which really are sub-par, even by horror movie standards.I really wanted to like this movie, but even as a fan of the material I found myself unable to appreciate it.
Overall, the story and dialogue were better in the original movie.If you're looking for a straight adaptation of Silent Hill 3, look elsewhere.
Now I'm okay with movies that didn't follow exactly like the original plot from games, books, etc like the first Silent Hill movie, I think it is still fine.
Maybe it's too short, maybe Silent Hill 3 is just not suitable to be made into a movie because the story is all about Heather trying to find the truth about herself, and since we already knew that at the beginning, what is there to tell anymore?
the script is cheesy and the story develops in and incredible amount of short time, but it had what I wished for, as a DEVOTED fan of Silent Hill franchise, I saw a LOT of references to the game and other Silent Hill titles, as a fan of the first movie, it's a coherent sequel, maybe the story is obviously not the most brilliant, but come on!
The acting is also good, it's just that I felt that the movie went so fast that we can't feel love for anyone but Heather (Adelaide Clemens has my 100% approval as Heather) the music is really good also, for the ones that are expecting to hear again a lot of tracks taken direct from the games, you will be disappointed, most of tracks are remixed themes from Silent Hill 3 & 2, but it works well...Another thing I wanted to point is the 3D, really, don't judge the movie just because it's in 3D!
a lot of scenes, characters and monsters had a lot of potential but the movie was too short to developBut I enjoyed it, a lot, was a cool acid like trip on the theater, really, not the best story, but actually felt like the 3D ride through hell they promised since the beginning ;)Funny?
It felt that the script was so rushed and it was trying to cover up many story lines from the game and the first film that could leave many non-silent hill video game fans very confused, but the fan will know exactly what's going on.
I found the story to follow the actual Silent Hill 3 game quite well, and I enjoyed all the little nods and references to other games from the series, especially the creepy reference to Downpour at the end.
The first Silent Hill movie was pretty good, although it strayed far away from the video game story at times and felt a little like a TV movie.
The plot is really interesting and twisty and it's understandable for everyone, not only video game fans who know the background of the story (like it happened with the first movie).
Silent Hill 2 has not come down to just an expensive video clip full of visual effects like what happened to the latest Resident Evil movies where the whole script can be written on just one sheet of paper with the most informative dialogues being: "I need to recharge ammo", "Cover me" and "Run. I'll try and stall them to give you time to get clear." The monsters are disgusting and creepy, every motion they execute curdles the blood.
'SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D': Four Stars (Out of Five)3D sequel to the 2006 horror film based on the popular survival horror video game of the same name.
Vincent is not a bad guy of course though and sees Heather's true beauty, so the two join forces in surviving 'Silent Hill' and unraveling it's mysteries.The film is like a true nightmare and is played out in beautifully grotesque elaborate detail; the set design, effects and 3D are all spectacular.
I know nothing about the games but I did like the original 'SILENT HILL' movie and would put this second installment right up there with it.
The 3d is handled well, with a few gimmicky bits but mostly bringing you into the misty town of silent hill in ways never before accomplished.The big question is do you need to be a fan of the game to enjoy it?
It helps to have seen the first movie, but with the exposition this is not a must.Overall a really enjoyable film that captures the awe and horror of silent hill.
The only way the movie resembles the game is that it just reuses some of the monsters from the original game, and even adds new ones, which isn't anything worth talking about.The plot from the original game was butchered, and the movie was made into an action film, it was as if i was watching a Resident Evil movie.Anyone who's played the SH series, know that the actors playing the characters don't even come close to their original counterparts,example: Heather's "Go To Hell!!" quote is just so cheesy and Claudia's response.
LOL pretty lame and cheesy.Final Thoughts If you are a Silent Hill fan from way back you're going to HATE(not dislike) this movie, because it is almost as bad as the Dragon Ball Evolution reproduction.If you are new to Silent Hill, then you're just wasting your money watching a lame, cheesy movie filled with predictable characters and plot, in 3D.
That being said, I'm pretty sure Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is the worst movie I have ever seen.I know what you're thinking:"Really?
Radha Mitchell and Sean Bean did a good job in the first movie and the story was good enough for someone like me who haven't played the video game.
Overall it was good entertainment (still talking about the first Silent Hill movie).This new one, on the other hand, is a complete waste of time and money.
Fans of the game are going to find a lot to love in this sequel to the original Silent Hill movie.
Fans of the first movie who appreciated the sets and costumes which captured Silent Hill's atmosphere won't be disappointed.What this film ultimately does right is that it remembers that Silent Hill isn't just a horror game meant to scare you.
This movie will not haunt you for nights and days as you go to bed at night, but you will feel like you accompanied Heather on a very, very dark journey.Hardcore purists may still have problems based upon the original film's butchering of the game's plot.
If the first Silent Hill wasn't scary enough for you the first time around "Silent Hill Revelation" is a must see.In the movie Adelaide Clemens played a character named Heather also known as Alessa an evil demon child.
There were other things that bothered me about the plot, but the visuals and atmosphere outweighed the bad for the most part and made this film okay to me.So with some work, I think this story could have been as good as the first movie.
Yes, call me "flavorless" in actual great films but in the end I bought Silent Hill: revelation 3D was actually pretty good.
As a person who is oblivious to most of the actual Silent Hill game lore, understanding this film after watching the first wasn't really hard.
And you know the direction is bad when they couldn't even make Sean Bean's character look good.I don't know a great deal about the storyline from the games, but it seemed like they left a door open for a sequel.
Would only recommend this movie to die hard silent hill fans who just wanted to see a sequel, whether good or bad.
I liked the first Silent Hill movie a lot, but thought it weakened toward the end.
After all, every other video-game movie had been utter garbage before the original Silent Hill film.
There are probably some "Silent Hill" video game fans who mortally crush this film to bits.
I'm a huge Silent Hill fan, and I am one of the few people that actually liked the first SH movie.
I saw the first Silent Hill film never having seen/played the game and really enjoyed it as a stand alone horror film.
I found it creepy, sinister and atmospheric with decent acting, pretty much all I ask from a horror film.I saw Silent Hill Revelation, again after not being a fan of the computer game, and was very disappointed.
After watching this film, I got Silent Hill fever all over again.In general, this was a pretty bad horror movie; I thought it wasn't really scary, and overall it was kinda week.
The setting and the music and many other things about the first Silent Hill were loyal to the game, but story wise it wasn't anything like it.
The music was well done, original game music creator mixed with the movies atmosphere pretty much made it feel like your playing Silent Hill.
Yet unlike the first film, which soundtrack was not released, Silent Hill Revelation's will be released digitally on October 30th and on CD in December.A critic I read said "It feels like a video game" and this critic gave the movie a pretty poor review.
The plot in it simplest form is 4 words;"they want her back."That pretty much sums up the plot.But honestly, who goes to these movies for a plot?I went to have good creepy time immersed in a 3d nightmare.And that is exactly what I got.I think this is one of the cases where the trailer is truth in advertising.Yeah, they showed some of the best parts, but those parts WERE in the movie.In the effort to keep this spoiler free, let's just say that the heroine keeps going in and out of reality and the nightmare world of Silent Hill, until she actually goes there.Some of the scenes -especially the early ones - reminded me of the nightmare sequences of a Nightmare on Elm Street movie (especially when she went into what looked like a boiler room!)There is a lot of gore, frightening images, and genuine creepy atmosphere.
then you'll understand the story and you'll not only enjoy, but even will be surprised of realizing new things.And if you are just a gamer and you are just fan of the silent hill game series, then please don't watch it cuz I know you will rate it under 4 just because it wasn't just like the game.
Basset writes (and I use that term loosely) and directs (again, loosely) this sequel to Christophe Gans' far superior 2006 film "Silent Hill." Starring Adelaide Clemens, Sean Bean, Kitt Harrington and featuring supporting roles by the likes of Malcolm McDowel and Carrie-Anne Moss, this should have been a solid film.Taking place several years after the original film, we discover Sharon De Silva was miraculously returned from the "Dark World" to her father (Sean Bean) by her mother Rose, through the use of some sort of talisman.
if you have seen the first film or even played the video game, then this this is for you, story line stays with the series to the t, the plot is easy to understand not hard to follow, the actors aren't top main actors but i think that made it better, it's Strong Lead has talent she showed passion and feeling in her role, making it believable and easy to connect with, the rest of the cast were known but not huge, bur supported the lead excellent, the special Fx were visually appealing and made the movie all that much better,the story is interesting and captivating, action and thrills from the start, all in all i give this movie 4.5 joints up,,,, I highly recommend this film, and would say that if you have to pay you will get your money's worth.....
Okay so let's start with some pointers: First, this movie is not for people who haven't seen the first movie, or if they never liked the first one.Second, if you've seen the first one, then try to re-watch it to jog your memory about what this story is actually about.Now let's start with Pros and then Cons for this sequel: Pros: Truly takes you back into the Silent Hill's originality.
It's a poorly made film that fails to be a decent horror movie and feels more like a TV drama with monsters.If after reading this review you feel you still need to see it in the cinema then I recommend seeing it in 2D if you can as the 3D is poor throughout and isn't worth paying the extra money for.
It was terrible.Now, to get things straight, I am a HUGE Silent Hill fan, of both the games and the first film (though not as much).
If you are a horror movie lover, silent hill fan, or watching just to see how Sean Bean dies next, you will be disappointed with this film.
Everything about the look of the movie is bad: The story is stupid, the directing is amateur, the acting is poor, the special effects are for 90s television, and there are new monsters that aren't even half as good as what was in the game.
I wont go into the plot and spoil anything, but for those that have played the games this story is a much better telling of Silent Hill than the first.
I was looking for a movie that felt more like a Silent Hill game and this, like the latest in the Resident Evil series, seemed to be more in tune with what a "gamer" would want.
I'm guessing that there are only a few moments which really stand out (things like axes etc thrown at/near the screen).Basically, if you liked the first Silent Hill movie, or are a fan of the game, you'll probably get some enjoyment out of this film.
SILENT HILL: REVELATIONIt was not too bad, but it was not as good as the first film.The story carries on from the original with Sean Bean's character running from town to town with his daughter, always changing their identity.
The scares aren't good, the acting isn't the best, but as a video game adaption to film I thought this movie was FANTASTIC!
I have seen the horrible "Double Dragon" and all the "Resident Evil" movies, and nothing comes closer to being true to the games like the Silent Hill flicks.
So in conclusion, silent hill revelation is a great movie sequel with good graphics, monsters, scenery and acting.
The movie gives a lot of little "easter eggs" to many different silent hill games, and I mean, who doesn't like to see a few easter eggs!?.
