It's wild to think we're getting another shot at bringing Silent Hill's psychological horror to life on screen. Here's hoping they nail that unsettling atmosphere without leaning too hard on jump scares.
Honestly, I’m cautiously optimistic that Gans can recapture the eerie, psychological dread the games are known for. Fingers crossed the fog and radio static hit just right in 2026.
