(1 - 23) of 23 OFCS Rating: 39% Rotten Page   1   "although it is rarely if ever jump-out-of-your-seat scary, Silent Hill is an unremittingly creepy municipality of the mind where motherhood, mystery and madness have come home to stay."   Channel 4 Film   Anton Bitel D "The problem is, Hill gets lost in the foaming desire by Gans to maintain the movement and depth of the game, leaving the action lifeless and dreadfully repetitive."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "Some of these scary figures march in jaunty-out-of-joint step as if they've emerged from "Thriller" (if only Vincent Price might have provided voiceover explanations)."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2.5/4 "Radha Mitchell is the reason to sit through this overblown Grand Guignol entertainment from the director of the similarly overblown Brotherhood of the Wolf."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth 2/5 "An abject failure as a horror film, offering gorgeous Clive Barker-inspired art direction run amuck with nothing actually scary going on."   eFilmCritic.com   Dawn Taylor 2/4 "Silent Hill is not for lacking memorably nightmarish imagery, but the picture tries one's patience far more often than it unnerves it."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman C- "I would admire the atmosphere a lot more if it amounted to something scary, creepy or original."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider "If you like your nightmares served upfront without the clutter of dramatic structure, then Silent Hill should be your next stop."   DVD Review   Felix Gonzalez Jr. F "Easily one of the most boring, incoherent and overproduced movies ever made. And at two full hours, it's far too much of a bad thing."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "The film is overlong, with too many unnecessary scenes (a lot of the movie seems like pointless running around), but it packs in a few scary moments and offers a nicely ambiguous conclusion."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "Silent Hill is like an endurance test to get to the “'truth', but it's ultimately a gyp because it still doesn't make sense when you get there."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 10/10 "Click here to read review"   vj.net.ua   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 5/10 "This is an average movie, and not what Slient Hill, a standout, resonant game series, deserves."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 2.5/5 "Just like the game, which is an achievement and a disappointment all in one."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 4.0/4.0 "Lessons learned: Never underestimate the creativity of a wronged West Virginian with access to barbed wire."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 2.5/5 "Uwe Boll had nothing to do with this movie, but it has his general feeling of murkiness and poor plot structure."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 2/4 "[Silent Hill] starts out a suffocating fog of creepiness wrapped around a memorably malevolent child spirit, but squanders its meticulously established atmosphere on a lengthy climactic sequence."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh C+ "As a nightmarish vision of hell on earth, Silent Hill is a triumph of production and art design. As a coherent story, it's little more than a string of video game scenarios."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer 2.5/4 "Despite its often-overwhelming nonsensicality, there's ultimately something irresistibly fiendish about Silent Hill."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "When everything starts being explained, the mystery evaporates and the world of the game loses its eerie bafflement."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 3.5/5 "Not much more than a "haunted town" thrill-ride, with only a few plot points tossed in to keep things moving, Silent Hill truly is a feast for the eyes -- provided your eyeballs aren't too squeamish."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg 2/10 "'A lot of what gets called entertainment today is actually dumpster-diving for the mind' applies to this incomprehensible, incoherent supernatural thriller."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 1.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 23) of 23 OFCS Rating: 39% Rotten Page   1
