20 Horror Movie Sequels Releasing In 2026
16. Return to Silent Hill
Return to Silent Hill is the long-awaited third film adaptation of the Silent Hill video games, and is a standalone adaptation of the consensus-best entry in the gaming franchise, Silent Hill 2.
Christophe Gans, who directed the underrated original 2006 film, is back in the director's chair for a passion project he's been trying to get made for years, while the games' beloved composer Akira Yamaoka will be returning to provide the score.
Jeremy Irvine will portray protagonist James Sunderland, while Hannah Emily Anderson will appear as Mary, and Evie Templeton will play Laura, having previously played the character in the recent video game remake of Silent Hill 2.
Now, it's fair to say that the marketing makes it clear that Return to Silent Hill is being produced on a considerably lower budget than Gans' original, some even likening the vibe to an upmarket fan film. And while few will be expecting brilliance here, it's simply exciting to see someone with real love for the source material trying to bring it to the big screen.
Return to Silent Hill releases on January 23.
