Canada | The Globe and Mail | "Though Silent Hill's shoddy dialogue and incoherent story constantly irritate, several sights and scenes possess a certain surreal grandeur...Sadly, that's not enough to compensate for 'Silent Hill's' utter lack of tension" | NEG |

United States | New York Daily News | "The worst kind of horror movie: trash that takes itself seriously" | NEG |
