As a big silent hill fan I must say that I'm disappointed. The first silent hill movie was just amazing and I was hoping to see a good sequel, but instead I saw a movie that destroyed the story and Ideas of the first one.
There are two things that I really didn't like – ACTING and STORYLINE. The acting was just awful! The characters seem so inconvenient and lame, expect Kit Harington and Deborah. I couldn't enjoy this movie because the acting was very bothering me. Especially at the beginning of the movie where I just couldn't believe that the acting can look so unprofessional. I don't want to describe the scenes where the acting not to spoil parts, but really, it was terrible ! It's definitely the worst segment of this movie. Why could they put more effort into acting. ( acting = 4/10 )
The movie is not too short for a horror movie, but it's definitely too short for a silent hill movie. Silent hill games are famous for the complex, interesting and mystic story and that's why I played most of them. The first silent hill movie had a very nice and interesting story and created an amazing atmosphere and story development. I watched the first movie the night before I went to the cinema to remind myself what happened in the first part, but know I see that it was totally unnecessary. Everything good that was created in the first part was just destroyed in the second one. I felt like watching a low-budget movie because the story seemed so low and predictable. In some scenes it seemed like the story is being ˝throwed˝ at the audience just to get it out like the storyline is something that we should be bothered with. It's like watching a slasher movie and not a silent hill movie. The storyline and development of the characters is just mediocre. ( storyline 4.5/10, character development = 5/10 ).
After the awful story and acting, now a few words about the effects and atmosphere. The movie has a much lower budget than the first one, but the effects didn't seem to be less perfect in any way. There are many shocking and creepy scenes. There are more bloody scenes than in the first one. ( 8/10 )
Silent hill Revelation is a mediocre horror-movie with bad acting, bad storyline, but with many great horror-elements that will satisfy most of the horror movie fans.
