Movie Review: “RETURN TO SILENT HILL”—this trip wasn’t necessary
Unfortunately, while some of the atmosphere carries over from the original, dramatic interest, and the fear factor, are largely lacking.
Unfortunately, while some of the atmosphere carries over from the original, dramatic interest, and the fear factor, are largely lacking.
It doesn’t come up with enough inventive developments once the situation is established, and the CGI used to create the environment isn’t quite convincing, which is a distraction throughout.
These filmmakers respect what was established with the prior entry, yet vary the new movie’s pacing and tone so as to disturb and intrigue.
Essentially a Syfy movie done slicker, it has just enough elemental scares and shocks to provide a diverting ride through the perils of primate change.
It posits a world overrun by the undead as the setting in which to tell a very human story of the people making their way through it.
