"Return To Silent Hill" Finally Lands a Release Date
Yara Sameh Terrifier trio Cineverse, Bloody Disgusting, and Iconic Events Releasing are reteaming on the domestic theatrical releases of horror reboots "Return to Silent Hill" and "Silent Night, Deadly Night". Based on the popular video game series by Konami, "Return to Silent Hill" will be released January 23. The psychological horror thriller stars Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson. Returning to the Silent Hill universe are director/co-writer Christophe Gans and Akira Yamaoka, original composer for the game franchise. "Return to Silent Hill" is the third installment in the game-to-screen horror film franchise, marking its 20th year since the first film, Silent Hill, was released in theaters. Starring Radha Mitchell and Sean Bean and directed by Christophe Gans, Silent Hill topped the box office in its opening weekend in 2006. "Silent Hill: Revelation" followed in 2012, directed by M.J. Bassett and starring Kit Harington and Adelaide Clemens. It follows James (Irvine), a man broken after his relationship with the love of his life, Mary (Anderson), ends. When a mysterious letter from her calls him back to Silent Hill, he finds a once-recognizable town transformed by an unknown evil. While James desperately searches for Mary, he encounters terrifying creatures and begins to unravel the mystery of what happened to the town. Produced by Victor Hadida of Davis Films, Molly Hassell of Hassell Free Productions, and David Wulf, the film is financed by Davis Films and Ashland Hill Media Finance. The Veterans handle international rights. "Silent Night, Deadly Night" character Billy Chapman will make his return to theaters on December 12. The reboot, which began production in April, is written and directed by Mike P. Nelson (Wrong Turn) and stars Rohan Campbell as Billy and Ruby Modine as Pamela, along with Mark Acheson, David Lawrence Brown, and David Tomlinson. Iconic Events says the movie will have an unrated wide release. "Silent Night, Deadly Night" is produced by the original 1984 TriStar film's producers Scott Schneid and Dennis Whitehead, and New Dimension's Jamie R. Thompson, Rebel 6's Erik Bernard and White Bear Films' Jeremy Torrie, with executive producers Steven Schneider, Anthony Masi, and Sarah Eilts. Terrifier's Brandon Hill and Brad Miska will oversee Cineverse and will executive-produce alongside Erick Opeka and Yolanda Macias, Bondit Media Capital's Matthew Helderman and Luke Taylor. Financing came from Bondit Media Capital and Royal Bank of Canada. Distribution outside of North America is being handled by Sixth Dimension, StudioCanal's genre label. When it was released in 1984, the first "Silent Night, Deadly Night" movie became one of the most controversial movies of the year. In a series of letters, parents demanded that the film be pulled from theaters. The film charts the story of a young man who goes on a murderous rampage dressed as Santa after being released from an orphanage. 'We have been anything but silent about our mission to champion proven IP as a central piece of our theatrical strategy,' said Cineverse Chief Motion Pictures Officer Yolanda Macias. 'These two films will represent event viewing that meet fan demand for new releases from their favorite franchises, and an opportunity for them to reach a new audience.' Said Mark Rupp, CFO/COO and co-founder of Iconic Events Releasing: 'Cineverse's decision to release Silent Night, Deadly Night as an unrated wide theatrical title reflects a proven strategy that continues to resonate with genre fans and deliver results and we're confident it will be well-positioned for the holiday season. Return to Silent Hill hits theaters at the perfect time following the successful recent launch of the Silent Hill 2 game remake that the movie is based on, while also celebrating the 20th anniversary of the start of the horror film franchise.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

Return to Silent Hill is coming to theaters next January
The third Silent Hill movie is still heading to theaters. According to Deadline , Return to Silent Hill will premiere on January 23, 2026. The film is directed by Christophe Gans, who also helmed the original 2006 adaptation. Return to Silent Hill is based on the 2001 game Silent Hill 2 . (Bloober Team's 2024 remake was one of our favorite games of the year.) The movie adaptation stars Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson. Akira Yamaoka, the game franchise's original composer, handles the score. Like the game it's based on, the film's protagonist is James Sunderland (Irvine). After a crushing breakup with Mary (Anderson), James lives up to the billing and… returns to Silent Hill. What he finds is a town transformed by a mysterious evil. As James searches for Mary, he faces terrifying creatures and unravels the truth. Psychological horror commences. In 2022, Gans told IGN that it's "totally independent" from the last two films. "Silent Hill is a bit like Twilight Zone, the Fourth Dimension, a place where anything and everything can happen," he said. In an interview with Le Point , Gans added that he wrote the screenplay during pandemic lockdowns. "I shot it in early 2023," he said (translated from French). "The film was supposed to be finalized in April 2024, but because of the executive producers, it dragged on, and I finished it last January." (Shots fired.) The movie doesn't yet have a full theatrical trailer. But you can check out its 2022 teaser trailer below. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings.

Returning to the Silent Hill universe are director/co-writer Christophe Gans (Silent Hill (2006), Beauty and the Beast, Brotherhood of The Wolf) and Akira Yamaoka, original composer for the game franchise.

According to Bloody Disgusting, Tri-Star, the film's original distributor, "responded to all the outrage by doing just that – an act that would ensure SNDN's place in the halls of horror film infamy. In an instant, Silent Night, Deadly Night transformed from just another slasher film to a veritable cult classic, the very people who sought to banish it from existence serving to make it one of the most must-see horror films of the entire decade." Return to Silent Hill is the third installment in the game-to-screen horror film franchise, marking its 20th year since the first film, Silent Hill, was released in theaters. Starring Radha Mitchell and Sean Bean and directed by Christophe Gans, Silent Hill topped the box office its opening weekend in 2006. Silent Hill: Revelation followed in 2012 directed by M.J. Bassett and starring Kit Harington and Adelaide Clemens. Known for his deep reverence for the original game, Christophe Gans is back to direct Return to Silent Hill, driven to maintain the film adaptation's faithfulness to the game hoping fans will "enjoy and be fulfilled with the experience this new film has to offer." It follows James (Irvine), a man broken after his relationship with the love of his life, Mary (Anderson), ends. When a mysterious letter from her calls him back to Silent Hill, he finds a once-recognizable town transformed by an unknown evil. While James desperately searches for Mary he encounters terrifying creatures and begins to unravel the mystery of what happened to the town. But as he descends deeper into the darkness the secrets he uncovers lead to a horrifying truth, and James finds himself struggling to hold on long enough to save his one true love.
