Silent Hill: Revelation 3D
Silent Hill 2 Falls Flat - A Disappointing Sequel That Misses the Mark
summarizeEditor's Summary
I've been a huge fan of the Silent Hill series for years, but the sequel, Silent Hill 2, falls flat. I recently rewatched both films to understand why I hadn't revisited Silent Hill 2 in 12 years, and unfortunately, the plot fails to deliver the same level of tension and intrigue as the first film. The characters are pretty underwhelming, and the story's a bit of a rehash.
