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.

2/5

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.

At some point you have to wonder what the point of even loosely adapting a storyline if you're going to miss the point of it so supremely

Loaded with atmosphere, haunting creatures and endless labyrinths, Return to Silent Hill is a psychedelic nightmare that deals with grief in a uniquely satisfying fashion.

Return to Silent Hill is left only to exist as a case study in diminishing returns and exsanguinated genre, sure to disappoint fans and newcomers to the series alike.

Genuinely terrible and the worst of the series by FAR. All this movie had to do was follow the guidelines set for it and instead turned an incredible story of guilt and loss into complete bullshit. I this is the worst movie I’ve seen in years and total waste of time and money.

while I like see back to silent hill it felt more like a love story in my opinion had one or two scary moments only because it's on the big screen with big speakers 🔊 ill give it a four star rating only because I am a fan of the game franchise.

if your a fan of the game it is based on you might like it might not, you might find pieces you will like and find pieces you did not like. I myself found it ok was disappointed with some of the changes and some of the stuff left out or minimized, but I can't say I was bored with the film.
