- 33Entertainment WeeklyKeith StaskiewiczEntertainment WeeklyKeith StaskiewiczSome horror movies want to scare you witless, but Silent Hill: Revelation 3D just wants to beat you senseless.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckSilent Hill is not a place you want to go, and that applies for moviegoers as well as this videogame adaptation's characters.
- The film is nothing if not liberal with its bloodletting, which integrates cleverly at times with the 3-D: lopped fingers, for example, fly toward the audience. But personalities and plot are thumbnail sketches at best.
- 30Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles TimesThere is a flamboyance to some of the imagery - Heather and her demonic doppelganger embrace on a flaming carousel - but no exuberance, no sense of wonder, fascination or enjoyment. Everything feels like a throwaway.
- 25The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe A.V. ClubNathan RabinStiff, episodic, and disjointed, Silent Hill: Revelation 3D replicates its source material all too faithfully.
- 20VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyA cheaper, cheesier sequel that's worse than its predecessor on every level (save being a half-hour shorter) and takes no special advantage of the stereoscopic process.
- Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is the nadir of senseless seasonal cinema. But while Bassett's film struggles to say anything coherently, it gets the most important message across perfectly well: "Do not go to Silent Hill!"
- 0Village VoiceNick SchagerVillage VoiceNick SchagerWith horror altogether absent and a plot drowning in insipid convolutions, it's a film whose early warning to Heather should be heeded: "Don't go to Silent Hill."
- 0The PlaylistDrew TaylorThe PlaylistDrew TaylorOne step worse than most of these video game movies. It feels less like a game and more like what happens when you leave your PlayStation on and it becomes a kind of dim screensaver. If we had a controller in our hand, we would probably throw it at the screen.
