Return to a place of insanity and blood-curdling chills in this shocking sequel to one of the most surreal and gruesome horror films ever created. Heather Mason (Adelaide Clemens) and her father (Sean Bean) have always tried to stay one step ahead of the malevolent forces intent on their destruction. But on the eve of her 18th birthday, a dangerous revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in a nightmarish landscape forever. Based on the hugely popular video game series and written and directed by Michael J. Bassett (Deathwatch), it's a psychological trip into absolute terror unlike anything you've ever known.

The first silent Hill was THE best horror flick I'd seen in years, no exageration, so it would've been hard to construct a sequel that lived up to it's predecessor for me. This sequel wasn't awful, but it lacked the brilliantly creepy images and sounds that the first one employed to really saturate your senses in the world the makers of the film had created. Anyway, not altogether terrible, but really just a dim echo of the first.

this movie is honestly bloody terrible. I deeply regret spending the $4 to rent this, and should have just skipped it entirely. This film is constantly going against what it's supposed to be; the sequel to silent hill. The talent in this movie is lacking to say the least, mostly towards the actors who play their roles, but also towards the directors, who have seemed to change the entirety of the film's story line from what it used to be. I wouldn't recommend this film.

The first film was a very eerie and atmospheric film, with dark lighting and subtle imagery for a haunting experience. Here, however, is a film that had none of that. There was no atmosphere, the surprises were predictably lame, the story was forced and uninteresting, and (spoilers) they did the lamest thing possible by turning pyramid head into a hero (well he comes in to rescue the hero in a scene that we were supposed to cheer at... all it got was me yelling "oh come on!"). Pass on this one.
