Critics Consensus

A visually tacky sequel that lumbers along with a plodding pulse and lacking the thematic resonance that distinguished its source material, Return to Silent Hill gets lost in the haze.

2/5

Die-hard fans may get a kick out of seeing the monstrosities of Silent Hill on the big screen. But this return trip to gaming’s most terrifying town won’t leave you scared — just bored.

4/5

Without any of the game’s tension-releasing exploration and puzzle-solving breaks, it has a nightmare flow, constantly upending its own logic and the geometry of its spaces.

A cautionary tale: chilling proof that borrowing legendary video game symbolism without comparable skill remains the surest way to alienate a fanbase, on or off the console.

2.5/5

Some may feel that Return To Silent Hill just looks like a creepy screensaver while others may choose to embrace the films artistic side. Either way I get the feeling this will become a cult classic that is very likely to divide audiences over its merit.

2.5/5

For fans of the original game, there is some value in seeing this interpretation on screen. For others, it may come across as a serious but distant horror drama that never quite reaches the emotional intensity it aims for.

What remains, in actuality, is a flashy and messy film with the appearance of Silent Hill, but with little to no scares and even less depth.

There are some things that make sense to do in a video game. But unfortunately those same things don't make sense in a movie.
