Silent Hill: Revelations
Let’s keep it real, the original Silent Hill movie was actually pretty good and added just enough of its own ideas to keep the film fresh. Revelations attempted to follow this idea, but ends up crashing and burning thanks to a faulty script, cheap scares, and forced 3D effects that break the immersion. Even though it loosely follows the plot of Silent Hill 3, director Michael Bassett does nothing interesting with both the source material and his own original script.
Revelations just comes off as a disjointed mix that is shuffling audiences from one Silent Hill set piece to another without trying to tie it all together. Plus, most of the CGI monsters look terrible in motion, with the mannequin spider being the biggest offender. Also, if you are watching this: yes, that’s Game of Thrones’ Kit Harington and yes, he is awful in this movie. Truthfully, a journey into Silent Hill might be better than enduring this film one more time.
