Or perhaps you just want to stare at Sean Bean for an hour and a half. (Whose sexual appeal eclipses Jon Snow's — Bean makes Kit Harington look like an afterbirth covered baby deer).
I LOVED this follow-up to 2006′s Silent Hill! Simple, eerie, and fun! Sure it’s not going to win any awards, it’s a horror movie, nor will it be popular among critics but like i care. Judge for yourself.
New Silent Hill movie delivered crazy thrills,suspense & more. Open Road Films released their new horror/thriller flick “Silent Hill” into theaters this weekend. I just checked it out,and thought it was pretty good as it served up a ton wild thrills,drama,and more.
There are dozens of horror films that get wide releases every year. An overwhelming majority of them are extremely forgettable. Based on how stupid this plot is and how chaotic and miserable its structure is, Silent Hill: Revelation should have left my brain almost immediately. Thanks to how truly fucked in the head it is, however, I can guarantee this film will linger and continue to unnerve every time I think about it. Given the genre, that’s worth a few stars but definitely not a recommendation
Bean and Malcolm McDowell slum it enjoyably in their brief roles, although they spend most of their scenes in chains, which makes it seem as if they were forced into the movie against their will
The first film clearly made enough money to justify this effort – though I defy you to name anything about it without checking – and releasing the sequel right before Halloween gives it a pole position for some quick bucks.
SILENT HILL REVELATION is getting its ass handed to itself online by mainstream critics and the key horror sites on the virtual block. Shit, even our very own Eric W destroyed it via his review. So yeah, you can imagine my surprise when I found myself having a good time with it, which at this point in my life, is the main thing I look for when I go to the movies: to be entertained!
Harington and Bean, both known these days for their work on Game of Thrones, hold their own.
Sean Bean is especially wretched as Harry, the father of our titular hero. He keeps dropping his American accent and mixing in his native Queen's English, but it gets so muddled that at one point I was convinced he'd decided to play a Russian immigrant.
Sean Bean is probably the best in the bunch, but I fear that if he had any more screen time he would have fallen to the awful dialogue
It was the simplicity of incorporating the slight effect of ash falling down or a dark shadow walking into the frame made the 3D effects superb. Some of the 3D effects in this film were better than those seen in the 2009 box office hit Avatar.
Sean Bean generally goes through the motions and his American accent is distractingly patchy
As mentioned, the film is an artistic triumph for the 2010s. I had the privilege of seeing it in 3D, and I have to say, 3D is the only way to view it. Before seeing the film, I was not a fan of the 3D format........While Silent Hill: Revelation is an artistic triumph, it almost fulfills the social criteria. It has a terrific cast including Sean Bean, Malcolm McDowell and Carrie Anne Moss, in addition to a string of new or rising talent. The problem is that their performances and the narrative of the film are restricted by the short runtime... I would have loved to have seen more of Sean Bean’s performance as a father struggling to raise his daughter while trying to heal from the grief of losing his wife.
Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is a film that looks good, it adds imagination to the concept of the first film and knows how to use the tasty visuals of the 3D but very much like the whole concept of 3D itself it fails to have content, it just looks good.
Overall, despite its flaws, I still found “Silent Hill: Revelation” to be enjoyable. It balances its jump-scares with its eerie atmosphere. It successfully fills the gaps and plot-holes from the first film and managed to out-do the original in terms of visuals and overall aesthetic.
He’s gone from playing Boromir in The Lord of the Rings trilogy to starring in this dire follow-up to Silent Hill – originally adapted in 2006 from a ‘survival horror’ video game. But before you feel too sorry for Sean Bean, this really bad sequel still played to a sell-out fanboy audience at Cineworld Broad St on Wednesday.
Sean Bean has done what he’s been threatening for years and finally double-crossed his own career.
Firstly, don’t make Sean Bean do an American accent. He can’t — it comes out as butchered Scottish. Let him do his thing in full-bodied Yorkshire, and be bloody well happy with that... In summary, it was a distinctly average film to me. It avoided some of the potholes it could have fallen into, but only succumbed to even more obvious ones. It could have been better, but so too it could have been much, much worse. And I’d still far rather see this than yet-another-bloody Paranormal Activity film.
