Silent Hill is another excellent source material that some adaptations came out on top. Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, is certainly not one of them, however. Apart from decent color grading, s pretty much everything else falls short.
I don't think Kit Harington deserved the backlash he received after Game of Thrones. He's a really good actor. Except in Revelation, it didn't show. He didn't have much time for that, either. Adelaide Clemens as Heather and Sean Bean do a decent enough job, though the director doesn't quite let them spread wings. The scenario is simply ludicrous. Constant effusions of the characters met by the protagonist are delivered in an absurdly unconvincing manner, leaving no room for any sort of ambiguity. Revelation completely lacks any of the understatements that were so masterfully used by the creators of the original.
It's remarkable how boring a movie the director managed to attain, while at the same time including so many plot twists. The main reason for that is that most of them are completely illogical. Aesthetically, the film may be even considered appealing. But the tropes that may make a short music video an entertaining watch don't really have to work in a feature-length movie.
Sean Bean as Harry, the father of the main character... didn't die. I'm not kidding. Although when the film was premiering, he had already died around twenty times in movies, becoming the focus of many a meme, in Silent Hill, he survived. Perhaps Ned Boromir Stark only dies in good movies?
