Journal 5: A Sequel for Fans Alone

      In “Silent Hill: Revelation 3D” by Nathan Rabin, it is reveals that the movie spent a lot of time explaining the story from the original film and the sequel, Silent Hill: Revelation 3D. Rabin goes on to reveal that Adelaide Clemens is perfect playing the main part and then reveals the background to the film. He believes that as a sequel to a film based on a video game, it holds too true to that nature. He claims that the film is too broken up, and the scenes tend to work more like episodes. As a fan of groundbreaking horror films, and those with interesting stories, I loved the original Silent Hill. Because of that, this sequel struck my eye at first glance. Unfortunately I have not seen it, and this review gives me less reason to. As a horror film based on a video game, Silent Hill relates quite closely to the Resident Evil film series. As these films continue, they tend to move more from horror movies to video game adaptions themselves; and so it seems to be the pattern in this mini-genre. Silent Hill: Revelation 3D appears to have a similar pattern of going from horror to action. With the exception of people with a hatred for video game sequencing, Silent Hill: Revelation 3D has an appeal to those who enjoy action horror films.
