Return to Silent Hill
Return to Silent Hill is a 2026 supernatural psychological horror film written and directed by Christophe Gans, co-written by Sandra Vo-Anh and Will Schneider, and produced by Victor Hadida through his Davis Films banner. Loosely based on the 2001 video game Silent Hill 2 by Konami, it is the third Silent Hill film and a reboot. Starring Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson, it follows James Sunderland, a broken man who receives a mysterious letter which calls him back to Silent Hill in search of his lost love. However, he finds a once-recognizable town and encounters terrifying figures both familiar and new, and begins to question his sanity.
Plans for a new Silent Hill film adaptation began in December 2006; Gans and former writer Roger Avary had been hired to helm a film adaptation of Silent Hill 2, which was greenlit by Sony. However, the project did not move forward and was instead released as a sequel titled Silent Hill: Revelation (2012) without Gans and Avary's involvement. By 2020, Gans announced he was working on a new Silent Hill film, adapting the events of the second game. The film was greenlit in October 2022, with Gans returning to write and direct the project. An international co-production between France and the United States, the film was shot in Germany and Serbia from April 2023 to February 2024.
Return to Silent Hill was released theatrically in the United States by Cineverse and Iconic Events Releasing on January 23, 2026, and was released in France by Metropolitan Filmexport on February 4. The film received negative reviews from critics and has grossed $47.9 million worldwide, with a budget of $23 million.
Artist James Sunderland has a chance meeting with Mary Crane as she is leaving her hometown of Silent Hill. When he inadvertently causes her to miss a bus, she decides to go back. James offers her a ride, and they spark a romance, eventually moving in together in Silent Hill.
Years later, James has moved away and become an alcoholic following the end of his relationship with Mary, while a concerned psychologist attempts to rehabilitate him. He receives a letter from Mary urging him to come back to Silent Hill, and he hastily returns. Upon arrival, he discovers that the town is covered in fog and falling ash, and has been almost entirely abandoned due to an unspecified illness that killed many. He meets a woman named Angela and is later attacked by a monstrous entity.
The town transforms into a twisted, unearthly version of itself and James is forced to flee to the Wood Side Apartment building where he and Mary once lived. Inside, he meets a violent and mentally-unstable man named Eddie and a young girl named Laura. James learns that Mary was taken to Brookhaven Hospital and then encounters a ghoulish figure known as Pyramid Head who frightens Eddie away. After a tense encounter with Pyramid Head, James wakes up back in the "real" Silent Hill where he again encounters Angela and Laura; Laura claims that she knows Mary.
While chasing Laura, James meets a woman named Maria who looks near identical to Mary and offers to tag along with him to Brookhaven. Along the way, James recalls several memories where he witnessed Mary's involvement with a cult operating in Silent Hill, one founded by her father. After seeing her being drugged and taking part in an arcane ritual, he and Mary broke up, abandoning her in Silent Hill.
Shortly after arriving at the hospital, Maria discovers an audio tape explaining that Mary was poisoned and left with permanent injuries. The hospital transforms into a nightmarish version of itself and Maria is stabbed by a grotesque nurse mid-escape. James momentarily leaves her and is lured into a room by Laura where he encounters a giant, monstrous moth-like version of Mary.
