Yes, Silent Hill is heading back to cinemas with Return to Silent Hill and, fittingly, the movie’s first look is that of the franchise’s iconic creature.

Fans of those movies will be pleased to know that the director, Christopher Gans, is returning for Return to Silent Hill – which is seemingly a full-on adaptation of Silent Hill 2.

Jeremy Irvine (Treadstone) will play James Sunderland, while Hannah Emily Anderson (Jigsaw) will play Mary.

Return to Silent Hill’s synopsis reads, “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.”
