Silent Hill Revelation movie review 

Play silent hill 2, that game is worth it.

Sean Bean in silent hill...so that's where he goes when he is respawning after his many deaths :0

The first Silent Hill movie was actually pretty damn good. Not the BEST horror movie ever, but holy fuck, was it creepy. Probably the best video game movie adaptation I've ever seen. ... I unfortunately cannot say the same for the sequel...

I actually think the first movie is one of the best game adaptation and probably the only good game adaptation I've seen, At least it was scary unlike the resident evil movies

Not only is this movie crap, it did the cardinal sin of making Pyramid Head a good guy who fights with the power of love.

the first silent hill movie is great, it haunts my dreams it's so scary lol

As a huge fan of the Silent Hill games (especially 1-4), it hurt so much to watch this movie and to think that people who see it might think that the games are somehow similar to the movie(s). They're not, at all. They're infinitely better. I feel that the director had no respect for the source material when he made this travesty. Save for a few references here and there, there's nothing in it that gave me a feeling that he even played the games, much less understood their stories and deeper meanings. So please, don't judge the games because of the movies, they're landmarks in horror gaming (although the newer ones have strayed way off) and I recommend them to everyone :)

The 1st Silent Hill movie is probably the only video game-based movie that would be deemed good regardless if you played the game or not. Budgets cant be an excuse for the flops now cus of the way technology improved, yet some movies are still looking MK: Annihilation-y. I think it boils down to the director, the writer, and who they cast at this point.

The craziest thing is that Sean Bean lives through both films, two horror films no less

You should keep in mind, that Silent Hill 2 is one of the greatest games of all time...

That “Lucky Us!” is such a visceral vibe that sums up things up beautifully.

The first movie was great as a horror film. Sorry.

I feel bad for Jeremy because now he won't know about the awesome of the real Silent Hill. I wish he could play Silent Hill 2.

They made Heather have a love interest with her own blood relation... For the fucking sake of pulling the heartstrings of pure idiots. Pyramid Head fights the main villain. WHY? Why the fuck is pyramid head even here?? (he) is a monster created by James Sunderland's sins from a completely different story arc. There's no reason that this movie should have sucked so bad, but just for a quick cash grab, it really did. And god damn it, why is heather always so clean and unscathed in a bloody, rusty shit pit world of torture??

Silent hill 1 was good in my opinion but 2 was terrible

This is still one of the best and funniest reviews Jeremy has made.

Jeremy doesn't care enough to go back and play the Silent Hill games, even though Silent Hill 2 is regarded as one of the best games of all time? Well then...

The 3D didn't save it, but it was best use of 3D I've seen lately. Ash actually appears to fly out around you for atmoshere, things get in your face for decent jump scares, and I didn't walk out feeling like it was a totally pointless money grab, where you forget you're watching a 3D flick. In the end it felt like a cool amusement park ride through silent hill.

I remember the director giving an update on this movie's production back in the day. "It is going to honor the games, be scary and we're making this for SH fans." Years later the director has actually apologized.

"how did you get to silent hill? i don't know got lost in the fog." me: SILENT HILL DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY!

The first movie actually wasn't that bad, the second one though( this one) made NO FUCKING SENSE AT ALL! You'd think if they had "revelation" in the title it'd answer some questions from the previous movie, NOT LEAVE YOU WONDERING WTF IS GOING ON!

I think this is the only time I've actually laughed my ass off at the littlest thing in one of Jeremy's videos. I don't know why, but when he says "The whole movie was just a FUCKin mess!", I died a little inside.

This movie was hilarious. I totally lost it at the beginning when Pyramid Head had a summer job in the Lakeside Amusement Park. You just can't top that.

If you play the games, the movies will just piss you off more

Dude, you seriously need to play the Silent Hill games in order to really appreciate how fucking shitty this movie is.

I actually enjoyed it. The plot wasn't THAT complicated, and the Missionary was a pretty cool monster.

2nd Worst modern horror movie. The first silent hill movie was good.

why did this make me want to watch this film

^ Best part of the movie was when the one chick said "Fuck Facebook" Dunno why, but I fucking laughed my ass off at that random line

Jeremy darling you gotta reevaluate your priorities and at least make time for Silent Hill 2.

I only watched this movie cause of Kit Harington

its now a popular opinion but I love the first Silent Hill movie. It had great atmosphere, creepy imagery, suspense and nice effects for the most part. but second one was pure horse shit in my opinion.

I have played every Silent Hill game made on consoles. There are so many interpretations of this series. Silent Hill is a classic because its history, story, and characters are based on all the best that the horror genre had to offer during the time. If you just looked at all the allusions made in each Silent Hill you will wonder why you did not want to take the truly horrifying trip there in the first place. As for the movies the Silent Hill was loosely based on the first game however heavily drawn from the second game. The first movie was entertaining, and I saw it as a stand alone, a different story told in the same universe. Now Silent Hill 3 is in my opinion one of the best in the series because it had the extra f'ed up moments I come to love from the first game, and it was a direct sequel. The movie Silent Hill Revelations was probably the most faithful film adaptation of the third game. However, if people do not play the third game they will not understand the story. I liked the movie because of this fact. Now Silent Hill 3 is a great game, and I would recommend anyone play the game regardless of the movie. It only inspired the movie, it is not the movie.

As long as they don't try to ruin Silent Hill 2 with a movie, I'll be just fine.

I highly agree in this recommendation. I know you've got good taste in games Jeremy, since you're a big fan of Metal Gear. And Silent Hill 2 is among a few of the special games that I can confidently call a true work of art. Its not just a survival horror game, its really a psychological, surreal, and emotional experience...and I have yet to see a game with this level of depth since Team Silent's disbandment. So I can happily say it is more than worth your time to check it out.

I consider you play at least 1-3. Don't touch upon the other ones. You'll like them if you like Resident Evil. Just try them. You won't regret it.

PT is a skyscraper. This movie is a small dog turd on the sidewalk next to it.

this is definetly your best movie review, i watched it 5 times and i still laugh :D

Jeremy, just want to remind you - the nurse monsters from the first movie reacted to light. The protagonist had to abandon her light source in order to get past the nurses - it was kind of tense at that point. The nurses in this movie reacted to sound - it wasn't as good as the first movie, and it wasn't the same at all :(

Finished Homecoming a few days ago and I actually had a blast. Every Silent hill entry has something special so the combat was a nice adition for Homecoming. And I had some callenge fighting the bosses and those order guys kicked my ass.

Jeremy,believe me,Silent Hill 2 has an amazing story. Best one out of all games and movies. Its really worth it. I loved the first Silent Hill movie but I hated this one so much I can hear it saying "Kill me now!"

Trust me Jeremy if you've played the videogames this movie is MUCH MUCH worse.... much worse ugh pyramid head shouldnt even be there neither should the lying figures or the nurses ugh

Jeremy, I swear I don't even watch your reviews because I am interested in the movies. I just watch them because you're so hilarious and entertaining. Anyways, I'm gonna watch this movie soon, let's hope I don't die from being subjected to awfulness.

Silent Hill 2 could make a damn good movie adaptation, although it would require some serious talent to capture the eerie and quiet that Silent Hill 2 perfected. And since it would be a video game adaptation, I don't see anyone talented getting involved.

The other silent Hill movie was good.

I watched it just now and was not that bad, pretty fun but not that creepy like first one

you just gotta love jeremy jahns and his reviews !

I absolutely adore the thumbnail of this video because he did a really funny reaction towards this movie by getting that picture of himself from whichever editing software he uses. It's hilarious. 😂

A liiiiiiiiiittle too harsh on this one Jeremy, I liked the movie and I do disagree with a lot of the stuff you said, I did play the games and am (well I consider myself) a big fan of the franchise and while the movies could've definitely been better, I don't think it deserved all the shit its getting

5:58 thanks for making my shitty day better mate! :'D

The movie is (technically) based on Silent Hill 3, where the main character, Heather Mason, is being forcefully put into Silent Hill. As it's a movie adaptation, it can't follow the story exactly. At the end of the movie they tease a movie based off of Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill Origins, or Silent Hill Downpour by having Sean Bean go back into Silent Hill, Vince and Heather being picked up by Grady the trucker, and a prison transfer bus going through Silent Hill.

The problem with game movies is that games are based around a player when is experiencing a world around him. You could never do a Half-life or Bioshock movie (properly) because most of the time the main character is alone doing tasks. Now something like the first two Saint's Row games, you could make a film out of (imho) because they are all about interaction with well defined and interesting characters.

Silent Hill movie is suppose to be about a father named Harry trying to save his daughter and not the mother. why, because Jodie Mason(the mother) is already dead in their early marriage. so the damn director completely destroyed the first movie, since I and many others have known Harry as the real main character of the game. and so the first movie is definitely, absolutely, without a question...dogshit. same goes for the second.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. I've never played the game either, but I expected so much more since the first one, in my opinion, was the best video game movie that I've seen. Favorite movie since 2006

Silent Hill 2 is one of the best video games ever. You really should play and review it, Jeremy.

Personally I like GoodBadFlicks review of the silent hill movie. The first movie was actually very well done and a very deep and multilayered movie. Now the second one was just.... eh...

God this movie was terrible! The first movie was decent. However, I just wish it was Harry Mason looking for his daughter instead...

this movie's plot was horrible, but you can't deny that it at least looked cool. The monsters are interesting to look at, especially the mannequin monster

I really, totally, completely, absolutely, honestly and trly agree!! That is what I'm trying to say everytime I comment on a Silent Hill video on RU-vid... and not many seem to understand... I'm a fan since SH1 (1999) and played most of the games, especially 1-4, and there's a HUGE difference between 1-3, and even 4, and the other titles...

The Facebook reference, Vincent being a “high school student,” Claudia looking like a Cenobite. No, just no…

Die hard Silent Hill fan here, Revelations was terrible. That mannequin monster is the bane of my existence (never was in the video games, based off a mannequin room in SH3 which was way scarier than that monster could ever hope to be). Not because it's "scary" (which it really isn't), but because in the first movie the CGI was actually impressive, and it really paid homage to the SH series. But the mannequin's CGI is just awful. Throughout the movie, it's just awful. The entire movie was awful. They threw in random characters for ~love interest~, and just added so many unnecessary things for shock value. One positive thing about it! Apparently there were over 100 Robbie The Rabbits on set. That's it. the only good thing in the movie. Seeing Robbie the Rabbit.

This movie is still better than any adam sandler movie.

I used to love this movie when I was younger

oh god the racoon part had me in tears :DD

I mostly sgree with you Jeremy but this movie is average is not dog shit

Maybe it's because I grew up playing the first 4 games but I personally thought the first Silent Hill movie was kinda shit too. However it's pure genius when compared to this one. Whoooooo boyyyy was revelation garbage!

You had really good points dude!!! Exactly what i was thinking!

The first Silent HIll movie manages to adapt the first game while getting every single important detail wrong. They change the main character . . . for absolutely no reason, they turn the main antagonist into a sympathetic character, they completely disregard the lore behind the cult and why Allessa was burned alive (in game canon, she was actually burned by her mother as part of a demon/god-ressurrection ritual, but in the movie, she was burned as a witch) and that whole thing at the end with the demonic entity was bullshit. Still, it's certainly not the worst videogame adapataion that I've ever seen. I think the only adaptations that managed to irrritate me less, were the first MK movie, and the first RE movie. They at least got the look, the nurses, and the sound-track down, even if I didn't really enjoy a single thing about the actual plot. I've seen one scene from the SHII movies, and it was that spider-manniquin thin . . . yeah, I'll pass. It's a real shame that the movie turned out to not be even remotely salvageble, because Heather Mason (I don't know what the girl's name in the movie is, but that's supposed to be her) was my favorite protagonist in the series.

Nevermind. I thought that Claudia was Alessa’s sister because Heather had called her “Sister” in a scene in the game, and I found some notes in the game where Heather had also referred to Claudia as her sister. But I just looked it up, and it says that Alessa spent so much time with Claudia as a kid, that she only “Thought” of her as a sister. They weren’t really blood related. None of that was explained in the game though. So I got confused. :)

Can't stop watching Jeremy!

I loved how he described the nurse scenes XD

Thank you! I couldn't have said it better!

I was waiting for a 2nd one for a while, i can't believe this is what they come up with.

I'm expecting you will be reviewing Return to Silent Hill in this year 2024.

these are the ones I remember: Travis the truck driver who gives the ride at the end is from SH Origins and the intro of Homecoming, the prison transfer right after that is from SH Downpour, and the map layout that she looks in the aylum is exactly from the games, and the character's look are pretty close to the original, exept Vincent's, and everything else is faithfull from the games, I hope that you Check it out, I'm waiting for your reply!!

Please do a review on ATM! I need to hear what you have to say about it.

I like it when he punches in the end. Damn.

HAHAH, so true! men herregud, finnes det 11 nordmenn som ser på Jeremy Jahns?

Me and my friend watched this movie the other day. I fell asleep because it was late and the movie was boring but he kinda liked because he played the Silent Hill games and knows some of the characters. I loved it when Pyramidhead ripped that chick's skin off though.

please play silent hill 2 Jeremy, i know you'd love it, someone who can really appreciate the story and acting in it :)

Ah man, I died when you imitated Natalie Portman. You are eerily good at impressions.

What's up Jeremy I from Brazil and I honestly hope that you give some atention to what I have to say about this particular review, I don't know if you did but you should have done some research about the Series, at least from 1 to 3 wich contains the plot of the 2 movies, this one in particular is mostly about the 3rd, FYI this movie is at least 80% of the original master pieace wich is the 3rd game, and for us fans of SH there are lots of easter eggs from the games, continue on the next coment

I totally agree with you, when i saw the movie i commented the same thing as you... to me this movie was awesome and it was great to see soo many elements from the game series. The only thing i dont like about this movie is that its created for the fans of Silent Hill (wich i am) so the people who didnt play the games dont know what is happening and then they comment how bad this movie was... i think they should explain some of the stuff in movie but for me it was a great movie.

Is there gonna be silent hill 3?

The silent hill games are actually really good and really creepy, especially the first two

I absolutely loved the first one a lot and I somewhat enjoyed this one but I don't think it was horrible.

thank you!! im glad im not the only one

I like the first Silent Hill movie, and this seem to be based on Silent Hill 3? I want to watch it, but...

A book movie is an adaptation to a treasure without image and anybody can create theyre own image of it while they're reading it (which isnt that sensitive if you keep it faithful). A videogame adaptation are two things: 1. a movie about something that already has an image of his own and it doesnt need an adaptation, in definition, a money maker produced by Hollywood's lack of creativity of these days. Or 2. a tribute to a great game saga (Mortal Kombat and Prince of Persia movies are examples)

Try watching the film with a music album as the soundtrack instead. Seemingly any one will do. If it doesn't work then either start from a different track or a different point in the film, which should be quite clear.

Agree, if they make another one, it should based on Silent Hill 2 or Shattered Memories. I know, Shattered Memories is essentially a remake of the first one but the story is so much different than the original and I thought it was better.

You're reviews are so entertaining, i actually watched Silent Hill Revelations just to see how bad it was.

Just the beginning is like...wait, how did that happen...did I miss something?

You should definitely play the first three games. You'd be blown away by how amazing they are and how insulting both movies are to the Silent Hill franchise.

i think it was a reference to i think the girls name was "rose" from one of the silent hills, a sacrificed daughter that gets demonized into a creepy 10 foot tall Porcelain doll and when you break the porcelain off it shows flesh

Best review ever. i just subscribed

Can someone tell me what was with the bus at the end

I don't watch horror movies, but I watched the first Silent Hill movie. That says a lot, even if I couldn't sleep with the lights off for a day or two, I still would watch it. I didn't even go see this. I knew I would be disappointed.

Being chased while on a crowded street in broad daylight, I always hide until it gets dark, then run through a butchering, murder & torture room, to find a creepy, dark, empty & hidden basement.

Even after your video, I'm still considering renting it. I liked the first one A LOT! But I've never played the game, so maybe that helped. Seeing this 2nd one won't be a problem for me UNLESS it's really gore for the sake of gore. I hate when directors think we're THAT easy! But I need to form my own opinion since the 1st one was good. So....yeah.
