End result was that none of the scenes had any real impact, and none of the characters were ever fully developed.

Personally I would have much rather they’d taken the idea of the otherworld encroaching on reality and made a bigger deal of it. Had Heather questioning her sanity as the horrific visions (with real consequences) lead her to Leonard’s asylum, only for her to discover she’s now trapped in Silent Hill. Maybe add the confrontation with Leonard as a finale, setting things up for a sequel to expand on it further. It would have cut out loads, but it could have been much slicker.

Instead we got a disjointed film that spent most of its time lurching around. While the visuals were impressive, I couldn’t help but feel that many of the sequences were aimed more at 3d gimmickry and less about story or character development. Heather in particular became very annoying as she screams loudly at cheap scares one moment, then acts in something closer to true horror or dread a moment later.

I disagree only because of the end, the way Rose was trapped in the Otherworld with the Reaper (since, IMHO, it’s pretty clear Rose failed to rescue Sharon), which is VERY different from SH1’s ending.

I wasn’t disagreeing with your statement that the second film was bad, but I do consider story accuracy to be a major contributing factor in film quality and emotional appeal. The improper placement of characters and further altering of their purpose only causes additional discrepancies with the movie.

Because that didn’t matter in the context of film quality. The first was a well made film, the second was not.

They are taken from Silent Hill 2 and belong in James’ psyche, not Heather’s or Rose’s. Pyramid Head, the nurses, the patient demon… All were misplaced, and in turn affected the overall feel of the films. The end battle between Pyramid Head and Claudia should never have happened. Furthermore, this movie ended with me cheering on Pyramid Head and hoping he lives, rather than fear him as he should be. I wanted to be frightened as I left the theater, but the film lacked any content that would evoke this emotion.

Just watched Silent Hill Revelation an hour ago & it was a perfect video game adaptation, felt like Silent Hill 3 with a mix of the first movie to fix what was broke from the get go.

This movie had all the Silent Hill Story & Source Material that fans wanted with a little change in the story but hey it had to happen to tell a story.

So if you read this go watch Silent Hill
Revelation In 3D because it’s worth it & stay for the final end
credits like all the end credits 😀

Only SPOILER the Alessa story is Finally put to end & a new Silent Hill Is Ready For The Works HINT: SHD.
