Silent Hill 2 is a sequel to the 2006 film that’s based on the hit video game series. The game and original film were both in the horror genre, so expect more of that.
Few details have emerged so far on the sequel, which may or may not go into production later this year. The game series generally sees someone come to a town and travel between two worlds, the normal world and another beneath the surface, where really weird looking creatures who move in a funny manner scare the crap out of me so I can’t sleep at night.
Trailer
Oddly, films that have yet to go into production don’t have trailers. Weird.
The Scoop
No word on the director, but the film is produced Don Carmody, the same director as on the first film. He is also producing the next Resident Evil film, so we can pretend he’s an expert in video game film adaptations. Consider yourself scooped.
Who’s It For?
Probably R.
Movie Release Date
2011.
Who’s In It?
No casting news yet.
Interesting Fact
There would be a lot more noise about this film if it were called Loud Hill. Haha. I’m a genius. This comedic gold just comes to me. I bet you can’t believe me.

What’s Good About It?
The first film did a decent job of capturing the tone and look of the games, at least so far as I remember the little I played of them.
What’s Bad About It?
The story of the first, unfortunately, was also similar to what I remember of the game. Oh, the little girl is evil? I did not expect that.
She was evil, right? Whatever.
Our Clever Prediction
The first only made $55 million, on a $50 million budget, so I don’t see the need for another. I do like Radha Mitchell, but she might not even be back for the second. I know the fourth Resident Evil is only getting made because it’s in 3D, so maybe Silent Hill will get the 3D treatment as well. Still, it’ll suck.
If they want a story, base the movie on Silent Hill 2.
Don’t just continue the story from SH1!
Silent Hill 2 is frequently in the top 10 video games of all time in many sites and is the number 1 favourite of one of the hardest judges of all:
Zero Punctuations Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw.
The story is fantastic.
The Suspense/Horror is perfect
If there ever was a game worthy of a movie adaption it is: SILENT HILL 2…
Ack. I cannot wait for this! I loved the first one. Just LOVED it
I hope this one lives up to my standards ;D
Also- I’m totally addicted to the games. I can’t wait for the new one to come out. Graphics look amazing D:!!
Absolutely love the Silent Hill games, i’ve lost count how many times i’ve had to hit the pause button to turn on the lights. The movie was good and I think it gets better with every watch it’s stayed true to the games and the creepy soundtrack too. I welcome a second movie with open arms!
i love all the silent hiil games up to and included silent hill 4: the room..after that, im not gonna lie..i was kind of disappointed.
(maybe silent hill 8 will be better??)
but ANYWAYYY, i loved the film..i thought it was great..complex? yes..if youre not familiar with Silent Hill’s reputation with dark pyschotic and twisted mind-f***s…thus, the movie got bad reviews because America seems to just want scary things that pop out at you, and a blunt story because we’re too damn lazy to actually have depth.
I played sillent hill more times than i like to admit mostly 4 the enddings. The frist movie i like they change some but keep the feel if they do the same I for one will defently watch
