Every Silent Hill Movie In Order (Including Return to Silent Hill)
Keiichirō Toyama’s Silent Hill, a computer game that traumatised a generation around the turn of the millennium and has since become an enduring horror franchise, has so far inspired three movies.
The first of these, Christopher Gans and Roger Avery’s Silent Hill, was a modest hit in 2006 and is now quite fondly remembered. The follow-up, Silent Hill: Revelation, also turned a profit but boasts an admittedly not great 8% score on Rotten Tomatoes (at the time of writing).
If you’re a fan of the misty video games and have been crying out for a new movie for years, that patience may be about to be rewarded with the release of Return to Silent Hill, an adaptation of the second game in the series (considered by many to be an all-time classic) with Gans back in the director’s chair. Read on to learn more about the Silent Hill movies and use the guide below to find them on services like AppleTV, Prime Video and elsewhere.
Christopher Gans’ first stab at the Silent Hill franchise skewed closely to the original game while switching the protagonist from Harry Mason to Rose De Silva (played by Radha Mitchell, aka Dakota Fanning’s mom in Man on Fire) and including some elements from Silent Hill 2, like the haunting and iconic Pyramid Head.
That story follows a woman trying to find her daughter in the haunted and otherworldly town of Silent Hill. If you’re a fan of the games and appreciate atmospheric horror like The Ring or The Grudge—and don’t mind something a little schlocky—you might enjoy this one, too.
It took six years, but Mitchell eventually returned to play Rose again in Silent Hill: Revelation, a 3D movie that boasted a slightly astonishing cast—Sean Bean (The Fellowship of the Ring), Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange), and Carrie Ann Moss (The Matrix)—and a new story, this time told from the perspective of Rose’s adopted daughter, Heather Mason.
There’s plenty of fun to be had with this one, just be warned—those famous names aren’t exactly representative of the movie’s quality. That said, if you’re in the mood for some thrashy thrills (think the better Resident Evil movies), you could do a lot worse.
In January 2026, Silent Hill returns to cinema screens with Return to Silent Hill, a new reboot that boasts a brand new cast and a story drawn from the events of the Silent Hill 2 video game. Franchise originator Christopher Gans has returned as director alongside new stars Jeremy Irvine (an actor who got his big break on Steven Spielberg’s War Horse but will probably be more familiar to most viewers for playing Henry Beauchamp in last year’s Outlander: Blood of my Blood) and Hannah Emily Anderson (Jigsaw).
Fans of the recent remake of the game will be happy (if that’s the right word) to hear that Evie Templeton, who played Agnes Demille in Wednesday Season 2, will be reprising her role as Laura from the video game. By the looks of the trailer, Gans has gone to great lengths to recreate the feel of the gameplay, so if you’re a diehard fan, you probably won’t be disappointed!
