Nearly 20 years after Christophe Gans directed Silent Hill, he returns to direct Return To Silent Hill. Cineverse / Bloody Disgusting have released the U.S Trailer and when you watch you will be consumed with darkness.
Like the the first word in the film’s title, the promotion for this has been ‘silent’. The first film was critically a flawed but loved cult horror with many fans of the game. You may ask wasn’t there a sequel in 2012? Yes there was, the forgettable mess called Silent Hill: Revelations. Gans was originally in line to direct that, but other projects stopped that happening.
Return To Silent Hill stars Jeremy Irvine, Hannah Emily Anderson, Evie Templeton, Pearse Egan, Eve Macklin, and Emily Carding. The games original composer Akira Yamaoka scores this as well as the sound design. I actually like what I’m seeing here…
Synopsis | RETURN TO SILENT HILL brings the iconic horror franchise back to the screen. When James receives a mysterious letter from his lost love Mary, he is drawn to Silent Hill—a once-familiar town now consumed by darkness. As he searches for her, James faces monstrous creatures and unravels a terrifying truth that will push him to the edge of his sanity.
There is no UK trailer just yet. However the film is listed to be released in the UK and Irish cinemas on 26th January 2026, with Lionsgate Films mentioned as the film’s distributor. There is no official confirmation if this is true. If you live in the U.S, Return To Silent Hill is set for a cinematic release on 23rd January 2026.
