Heather and her father are on the run from dark forces, suddenly her father Christopher goes missing. Shortly after his disappearance strange things start to happen. Heather starts being transported to a dark new world, she also begins to discover the truth about herself.
It has been along time coming, a sequel to Silent Hill was planned years ago but director Christophe Gans pulled out preferring to work on other projects. Now we have a new Director and lead Writer, Silent Hill Revelation is scheduled for a release on the 26th October (US) - 31st of October (UK).
Silent Hill Revelation starts off well enough, Heather Mason is a likeable character with a disturbing past, unfortunately she is the only memorable character from the movie. Sean Bean has a relatively small part so there is not much influence from him. At times the dialog is a little poor with forgettable lines. The whole story feels weak and it feels rushed. There are things happening in this movie which just do not make much sense, with some scenes feeling out of place. Revelation has less than half the budget of the first Silent Hill movie which is probably partly responsible for many of these faults.
At times there are some good tension building scenes going on, and a few shock scares that are nicely executed. Despite the smaller budget Silent Hill Revelation has some nice visuals and effects which equal the first Silent Hill.
Overall Revelation is an unimpressive sequel. It has a similar look and feel to the first movie which is a plus, however almost everything else is disappointing.
