If you didn’t play the game you’ll be pretty confused. If you played the game you’re still going to be pretty confused.
ChungiBoi dislikedReturn to Silent HillI don’t think I’ve wanted to check the time on my phone so much in a theater since freakin Argylle, which also sucked major balls. Counting the ceiling tiles in the theater was more entertaining than this disrespectful-to-the-source-material snoozefest
Jayden Kloska dislikedReturn to Silent HillIf you're a fan of the Silent Hill games, you will hate every aspect of this movie. Music was the only decent part.

I’m rewriting this review because I haven’t played the game but I have went out my way to understand the game and this is a disrespectful adaptation of silent hill I don’t think it’s badly made I like the visual identity but i think this movie is fine a decent watch 7.7/10
Dark Sun dislikedReturn to Silent HillThe worst video game adaptation to film I’ve ever seen. It’s like if someone asked you if you wanted one of your favorite childhood meals. You respond yes. They then rub barbed wire coated in lemon juice against your balls. Also, why did they turn Pyramid Head into Bane from B&R?
Taylor Winters likedReturn to Silent HillUgh. It was so close. The visuals are there. He recreated scenes almost perfectly from the game. They look incredible. And the monsters. They’re right in the money. But then the narrative is a mess. The acting is stiff. And it feels so rushed from scene to scene with little to no cohesion. If I…

I actually really enjoyed this movie. I'm a big fan of silent hill and it is absolutely worth a watch. I know it's got bad reviews but I'd say go see it yourself to make a judgement on it. follows pretty well to the silent hill 2 video game but not fully alike
Uncultured SWinE likedReturn to Silent HillDon’t like how they changed Mary‘s storyline to a gf with a weird backstory but loved the monsters they recreated. Just felt a little rushed, but still a good time to watch
Darci dislikedReturn to Silent HillJust because the game your movie is based on was made in 2001 doesn’t mean your movie can have cgi and special effects as bad as a 2001 game

RPRichard Pina JrSo I’ve been playing these games since I was 10 in 99 so regardless of the quality I loved it!

Pitiful installment in a mediocre series.

RCRicardo CastrejonSo bad that it's kind of good lol, big SH fan and I knew they'd change up from the games story. Still decent watch, loved it.
- SDSteven Dearinger
Terrible bastardization of the source material with dated effects from 20 years ago. Completely misunderstands the characters and story of the game it’s adapting.
LHLilith HartIf you like the games, this was a love letter to it. I would love to see them tackle the other games in the Silent Hill franchise.
JPJose Perezthey try to follow the game but is not it

The performances too somehow emulates the game’s awkward, unnatural voice acting, a key contributor to both works’ uncanny dreamlike ambience. Rarely has a film better evoked a PlayStation 2 game.

Christophe Gans’s film does away with all the psychosexual nuance of Silent Hill 2.
