When it takes over thirty minutes for a film to go anywhere even remotely interesting, for my money, something is wrong.

"Return to Silent Hill" lacks both pace and scares; in short, I found it boring. It's not the actors' fault; they hand in decent performances. Its story, in my opinion, needed to be reworked to make it more engaging and exciting.

In summary, acting is fine, but I found the story lackadaisical and dull. Can't recommend this one....

Ok, so I don’t remember going to “Silent Hill” first time around (in 2006), but after this I am certain I will never go again. At least Christopher Gans had enough wits about him to cast someone easy on the eye in the lead, but even the ashen-looking Jeremy Irvine couldn’t breathe any life into this. He’s “James” who meets up with “Mary” (Hannah Emily Anderson) after he managed to hit her luggage with his car. Thereafter they flirt, court, move in together, split up - but as far as this plot is concerned, in no coherent order and only delivered to us by way of flashback. It�...

I watched original Silent Hill and it was a great movie. I have also played Silent Hill 2 which was a great game as well in its genre and now I watched this movie too. Well, what can I say about this movie... One thing they did well is resemblance to the game. It looks very similar and they did good job mimicking it, but they also made some story changes in movie, however the problem with this movie is that, when you're playing a game, you're into action and it's scary and it's interesting, but when you watch it like a movie, it's boring, because you're not action and for the movie to be great...

My quick rating - 4.9/10. Another Bloody Disgusting logo to begin with, so you never quite know what you're going to get. Sometimes that logo means "grab the popcorn," and other times it means "grab your phone". Return to Silent Hill lands somewhere in between.

His disjointed memories and guilt bring painter James Sunderland (Jeremy Irvine) to Room 318 after a handwritten letter from his lost love, Mary Crane (Hannah Emily Anderson) is slid under his door. Seeking closure, he heads to their special place in Silent Hill, now a desolate shell of a town that apparently no real estate agent dar...

For a video game movie this is the only one I can truly say is 99% accurate.
Out of ALL of them, this is just so spot on it's... Scary.

The whole 'cult' aspect was just horrid, but, as as with any movie that has to do with a video game or a book, they took certain liberties.

Over all, this was a great movie, even without having played the game. One could watch this as a stand alone movie or a fan of the game.

I did muse as to if the movie might have as many endings as the game did, but, alas it did not.

Any way you slice it, a movie well done....
