6. Return to Silent Hill

The Silent Hill video game franchise is enjoying something of a resurgence right now, and fans are also finally getting a third cinematic adaptation.

Return to Silent Hill is a standalone adaptation of Silent Hill 2, with the original film's director Christophe Gans returning to helm, while Jeremy Irvine stars as James Sunderland and Hannah Emily Anderson portrays Mary.

On one hand, Gans' original Silent Hill remains one of the best and most faithful video game movies of all time, even accepting its many flaws. On the other, Gans has been pushing this boulder uphill for more than a decade, and the film's teaser trailer released last year polarised the fanbase, many noting that it was clearly produced for a far lower budget than the $50 million 2006 movie.

Christophe Gans' enthusiasm to get Return to Silent Hill made is undeniable, but whether all the production elements have come together to deliver on his vision is another matter altogether.
