A teaser trailer for the film Return to Silent Hill has been revealed, giving us a first proper look at the Silent Hill 2 adaptation, its version of Pyramid Head, and a release window.
Christophe Gans is in the director’s chair, following his work on the 2006 Silent Hill film starring Sean Bean. Jeremy Irvine (Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, Treadstone, War Horse) stars as James.
Gans previously stated the film would be a faithful adaptation of Konami’s beloved Silent Hill 2. “I am delighted to partner with Cineverse, which has shown a genuine understanding of fanship,” said Gans back in May. “Return to Silent Hill is an adaptation created out of deep respect for a true masterpiece of a game, Konami’s iconic Silent Hill 2. I hope fans will enjoy and be fulfilled with the experience this new film has to offer.”
The trailer, above, is only 40 seconds long, but it does show a suitably foggy environment, that iconic shot of James looking in the mirror, and of course some scary nurses. Best of all, it ends with a first look at Pyramid Head.
Return to Silent Hill is set for release in January 2026.
It’s all part of a resurgence of Konami’s horror franchise, following the success last year of Bloober’s Silent Hill 2 remake. Silent Hill f will be released next month – and no, it’s not a Soulslike.
