10 Upcoming Horror Movies That Are Already Doomed

As established with Resident Evil, horror video game adaptations don’t have a high success rate, and Silent Hill is no exception. Despite both previous films in the franchise getting slaughtered by critics, and a fourteen-year gap between the last film and this one, we are indeed heading back in Return to Silent Hill.

Adapting 2001’s Silent Hill 2, the film follows James Sunderland (Jeremy Irvine), who goes to Silent Hill in search of his dead wife, but finds himself faced with horrors. Helmed by Christophe Gans, whose last film is the 2014 French-language Beauty and the Beast, signs haven’t exactly pointed in a positive direction from the start.

But the real doom warning comes from the numerous production delays the film has suffered, marked by fallouts between Gans and producers: rarely does a film where the creative team are warring turn out well (just look at Alien 3). Add to this that the film seems to have a fraction of the budget of the previous entry, and has only managed to secure distribution with small-name distributors Cineverse and Iconic Events, and the future does not look bright in this corner of the genre.
