Review Summary

The distinction between actors and special effects shrinks ever further in the video game-turned-horror film “Silent Hill: Revelation 3D,” which reduces its human players to plastic action figures in tired genre settings. A sequel to “Silent Hill” from 2006, the movie follows Heather (Adelaide Clemens), now almost 18, who has had to change her name from Alessa in her wanderings with her father (Sean Bean). The back story — and the current one — are hazy, but apparently Heather’s mom (Radha Mitchell) was lost to Silent Hill, a town-dreamscape of shifting environments, and now Dad has been spirited away and Heather must rescue him. — Andy Webster
