Silent Hill: Revelation


I really liked the first Silent Hill movie...could've been a lot better, sure, but it's a video game adaptation done the way it should be, ie using the source material as a launchpad to explore new ideas as a story. In fact, along with Mortal Kombat and Prince Of Persia, it's one of my favourite adaptations (although admittedly it's not really up against particularly stiff competition). So, yeah, I was actually quite looking forward to this one.

This film was just an abomination though. Definitely the worst film I've seen in a long time, if not one of the worst I've ever seen in my life. Very, very rarely do I think a film is irredeemably awful in every single way, but this certainly qualifies. The acting is bad, the characters thoroughly unlikeable if not totally bland, the effects are laughable, the story from start to finish just smacks of the kind of cheap, hollow gimmicks designed to suck money from fans' wallets, all stitched together to form a boring and totally illogical plot.

If you've thought about seeing this, do yourself a favour - don't!
