Six years gamers had to wait to see another entry in the Silent Hill story. And the producers were glad to bring back some of the original cast, Sean Bean as the father and Radha Mitchell as the mother. And in comes a cult classic Malcolm McDowell. The story itself takes you of course back to Silent Hill in 3D.
On part of the 3D I was a bit disappointed. It didn't offer that much. I have seen better. The flick itself was a bit of the same as the original and by that I don't want to sound negative because that means they staid close to the creatures of the game. Sharon is know called Heather (Adelaide Clemens), the reason is explained in the flick itself. She's always changing places to life with her father to stay out of trouble and they always are changing their names. But the dreams do come back about Silent Hill. On her 18th birthday she had the most terrifying dream ever and also thinks her father disappeared. Waking up the revelation starts and she will get to know that she isn't what she think she is.
This time Sharon/Heather is a grown-up and of course the love story had to enter this flick. The forbidden love, you know what I mean. That part I didn't like because by doing so it's clear that they made it for the youth watching this kind of flicks. Still, there are a few gory moments and even a small part of nudity. You even don't have to watch the original because there's a summarization throughout the whole flick about the past. And does Revelation delivers something new. To be honest it doesn't. It's a bit of the same and this time it isn't that scary after all. The effects are sublime, like the spider made of manikins, but that doesn't make a flick like this. Did I enjoy it. I've seen it but it will be forgotten soon in my memory. Of course it's not all that bad but still, there's nothing new here...
