Watch Silent Hill: Revelation 3D For Free

Did you people see the same film I saw?

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

I hate seeing Adelaide Clemens in such a bad movie, normally I would watch anything with her in it. I rarely stop watching a movie once I start, but this one I just couldn't watch. It probably appeals to the game players, that's the only reason I can think of for it getting a 5 rating instead of a 1. If you aren't a fan of the game, don't waste your time. I could list the reasons it's so bad but that would waste more of my time.

I walked into this film very open-minded. I absolutely loved the first Silent Hill film, directed by Christophe Gans. Even though the script and story were not exactly what we would call revolutionary, the film still did a great effort in making it as faithful to the original game, while mostly dealing with the adaptation issues in a satisfying manner. The acting was great from most parties, effects were visually appealing and overall, it's a very well made and under-appreciated film (i.m.o., of course). How did they mess it up?For the first time ever, I was excited about a video-game movie. After all, every other video-game movie had been utter garbage before the original Silent Hill film. However, this is not the case for its sequel Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is simply a 180 on what the first film accomplished. The intent in the first movie was clear: create a movie that will be as faithful as it can to the original game and still create an entertaining film. The intent for the second film, on the other hand, was: Cash in as much money from a respected video-game series. This film was plagued by a terrible script, bad pacing, horrible editing, dumb jump scares (I'm looking at you, Pop Tart jump scare), cheap effects (especially the bland 3D ones), and poor acting (which I blame on the script, mostly). The worst part of it all is that they didn't care about adapting it correctly from the source material. Instead, they opted for trying to change the story.Just skip this film. It's not worth your time. If you're looking to at least get a decent Silent Hill experience, watch the film. If you want to get the full deal, play the first four games (and maybe Shattered Memories and Downpour at that).

Tomato/ Tomarto. The Transformers movies sucks and so does this unnecessary sequel. Hence the almost similar names.Let me start by saying that I've never played the games, so I can't compare either of these movies to the games.The first movie was super creepy with amazing actors. Silent Hill felt so real you could almost smell the decay and the ash.This movie however relies on cheap jump scares and yet it's never scary. Just boring. And way too much gore and horrible cgi in all of those scenes.The acting is terrible, Kit Harrington being the worst one, with an even more awful American accent than Charlie Hunnam. He has so much trouble saying his lines like an American, that he forgets to act.The whole idea that his character can just leave Alessas Silent Hill (an alternate reality)is an insult to the original movie. Not even Rose and Sharon was allowed to leave after Alessa had killed everybody but them. In the original they had to actually go to Silent Hill to enter Alessas world. Here they can just stop at a motel and all ofd a sudden they're in Silent Hill. And why would Kit's character go back once he was free and in the real world?? This makes no sense. His whole character was unnecessary. Also, this movie waste minutes of the already very short running time, explaining things we already knew from the original with several flashbacks from the original movie. Clearly a sign they didn't have a decent script for this crappy sequel. And once again Sean Bean is wasted in Silent Hill. He actually had more screen time in the original, than he does in this movie.The fact that Jodelle Ferland (who played Sharon/Alessa perfectly in the original, wasn't even considered to reprise her role, because she was too young and instead was replaced by an awful actress named Adelaide Clemens, that I've never heard of before or after this movie, has disaster written all over it.And that's what this movie is: a disaster.

Silent Hill: Revelation is a twisted ride into hell. It's far from a horror masterpiece, it isn't the best in the genre and it's one of the weakest films of 2012 but Revelation is packed with enough gruesome monsters and seriously sinister images to make it stand strong and worth watching. Silent Hill itself is terrifying, the siren that echo through the alleys are spine tingling and the slow camera pan movement will keep you on edge as you don't know what will jump out. The cast give admirable performances, most of which are wobbly at times but during moments of terror they up their game and they are convincing, there's no plodding along at all, and Adelaide Clemens is a fantastic lead. The monsters are impressive and scary too, the best being the mannequin spider that turns it's victims into dolls and then rips the head off to add to it's disgusting body. The 3D is spectacular too, depth is really cool and a tonne of creature guts pop out the screen, yet again the spider scene excels in this effect where the creatures mouth rips out the screen, I literally leapt back as it protrudes so effectively, a reference quality moment there. The ash scenes look stunning, because the camera is at a low angle you can follow the pathways that lye just beyond the screen. Depth can be affected during some truly murky scenes, but Overall Silent Hill: Revelation is a fun filled 3D adventure that is far better than the first film, and the further the characters venture into the ash filled fog, you will be taken with them into a horrific nightmare filled with demonic creatures.
