Return to Silent Hill is coming to theaters next January

The third Silent Hill movie, Return to Silent Hill, is set to premiere on January 23, 2026. The film is directed by Christophe Gans, who also directed the 2006 adaptation. Return to Silent Hill is based on the 2001 game Silent Hill 2 and stars Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson. Akira Yamaoka, the original composer of the game franchise, is handling the score. The movie follows James Sunderland, who returns to Silent Hill after a breakup with Mary, only to find the town transformed by a mysterious evil. As James searches for Mary, he faces terrifying creatures and unravels the truth, leading to psychological horror. The film is independent from the last two movies, with Gans writing the screenplay during pandemic lockdowns and finishing it in January 2023. The movie doesn't have a full theatrical trailer yet, but a 2022 teaser trailer is available. Gans has expressed frustration with the film's production, stating that it was supposed to be finalized in April 2024 but was delayed due to executive producers. The film's plot is centered around James' journey to uncover the truth behind the mysterious evil in Silent Hill.
