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.

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.

Despite its flaws, the 2006 film was rather handsome, but this budget-starved schlock looks like goulash - a rust-coloured slurry of empty frames and weightless monsters.

I do not understand how it seems to be monumentally difficult to adapt one of these games into a film. It might be time to stop trying.

... a generic film that could belong to any franchise, incapable of capturing what made Silent Hill such a personal and enduring experience. [Full review in Spanish]

Horrible. It’s boring and ridiculous. It’s a remake or reboot. Whatever it is it’s just not a good movie

If youre a fan of the game that this movie was based off of, maybe skip this one and even if you can look past the butchering of what was already a solid story, and are just a general horror or Silent Hill fan, this movie is still an ugly, poorly written CGI mess. It kind of feels like they told an AI to make a movie based off Silent Hill 2 and this is what it spat out.

It was an all right movie not the best not the worst had some cool looking cgi moments but then it seems like they kind of went on their own tangent towards the end

Captures some of the hellish imagery but completely misses the point of the story.
