Go behind the scenes for Return To Silent Hill, and hear how the sound mixing will play into this film, along with the classic Silent Hill films
It would not be a good Halloween season if we did not have a good bit of horror film updates, and that is kind of what we have for Return To Silent Hill now. A new Behind-The-Scenes look at how the film is being made and the sound mixing that will feel familiar to fans, and creep out those who will be coming into the IP for the first time with this film. At least, that is the hope as the original director of Silent Hill wants, as well as the person behind the audio for the original games. Given that this story is based on the second game, they are going to need to nail it or see the film fall down in history as another “video game film.” If you know, you know.
If you were looking for more of a tease for Return To Silent Hill before January 2th, 2026, you are going to be left wanting here. We do have a few more short looks at the film, but this is truly all about how the team is trying to nail down the audio for the film to give us all the goosebumps they were going for in the first film, and were not able to fully bring to life in the original games. The latter being more on the technology side of things, and now with the Silent Hill remakes, we can get a better feel for things. That all means the film team needs to step up their game to make sure it hits just as well when it comes to this outing. Audio can make or break a great horror film, as some of the best in recent months have been able to prove. They do have a bit more time to perfect it, and I am glad to hear they are already on the job now.
Return To Silent Hill — Behind The Scenes: Sound Mix
Christophe Gans, who directed 2006’s Silent Hill, is back behind the camera for Return To Silent Hill, a sequel slated to arrive in theaters in 2026. Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson star in the sequel, which is based on Konami’s Silent Hill 2.
Return To Silent Hill brings the iconic horror franchise back to the screen. When James receives a mysterious letter from his lost love, Mary, he is drawn to Silent Hill — a once-familiar town now consumed by darkness. As he searches for her, James faces monstrous creatures and unravels a terrifying truth that will push him to the edge of his sanity.
In theaters on January 26th, 2026.
Did you ever get creeped out by the original Silent Hill films, or was that something that only a few out there had the experience of? Do you suspect the newer titles will dictate more of how the film goes, and will we see some of the film elements come back to the games, as we have seen in the past? How long will we need to wait until we get a proper trailer for the film, or should they leave us all in the dark so we cannot figure out where the film is going to go? Sneak your way down to the comment section to let us all know what you are thinking, and then discuss it. We are excited for Return To Silent Hill over here, and will be out there to see it in theaters when it drops.
