Return to Silent Hill premieres Jan 23 with Christophe Gans returning as the director. Although the first movie is very loosely based on the first and third games in the series, I feel like it did a decent enough job of creating the feeling of Silent Hill and I genuinely think it’s a fun movie. Not a great one but fun nonetheless.
I have hope that, with this being directly based on SH2 OG, this will continue and improve upon Gans’ ability to bring the feeling and essence of Silent Hill to the big screen yet again. I am not expecting anything award winning as far as the dialogue and tie-ins to the game, but I hope it’s as much fun as his first foray into the living Purgatory of Silent Hill.
Tl;dr: I’m excited for Return to Silent Hill despite knowing it won’t be great or even good.
