What to Know

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. Go to Full Review
Esther Rosenfield Little White Lies Jan 27
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Connor Petrey Pop Culture Leftovers 1d
Loaded with atmosphere, haunting creatures and endless labyrinths, Return to Silent Hill is a psychedelic nightmare that deals with grief in a uniquely satisfying fashion. Go to Full Review
Jake Tropila In Review Online 5d
Return to Silent Hill is left only to exist as a case study in diminishing returns and exsanguinated genre, sure to disappoint fans and newcomers to the series alike. Go to Full Review

Amanda 4d Bruh please tell me this was a fever dream See more Richard 4d while I like see back to silent hill it felt more like a love story in my opinion had one or two scary moments only because it's on the big screen with big speakers 🔊 ill give it a four star rating only because I am a fan of the game franchise. See more chris 5d Not a good movie at all. See more Ben W 5d Oof. How can people still make movies this bad..? I don’t get it. But, some interesting concepts and cool(sometimes) visuals. See more Jorge O 5d if your a fan of the game it is based on you might like it might not, you might find pieces you will like and find pieces you did not like. I myself found it ok was disappointed with some of the changes and some of the stuff left out or minimized, but I can't say I was bored with the film.
