The “Silent Hill” film franchise continues with “Return to Silent Hill,” the latest adaptation of the hit horror anthology video game series. Variety has the first look at the famed monster Pyramid Head in the Christophe Gans-directed film, which is previewing at the Cannes Film Festival.

I still remember the day I had a important exam at the University and I had to take it the next day, but it was the last day of the Silent Hill: Revelation 3D movie in the cinema, I went that day to see it and I liked the experience and from there I passed the exam, like a champion

Nice. Please be mostly in camera effects again.

Gans is great, I just wish Robert Patrick (The Batman) was James.

Are you sure its from the movie? It looks like a photo of the figure.

hmm...

Alice Krige was the best part of the first film

 

[SJRB]

The first movie wasn’t perfect but it had incredible moments.

The bit where Pyramid Head literally rips the skin off that lady and throws it away was crazy.

Not really sure how I feel about Pyramid Head becoming the staple bad guy for this series.

James was the spitting image of a Cary Elwes so him would had been best.

I really enjoyed the first film which nailed the atmosphere. The second was just day old dishwater.

Thankfully this is the same director as the first one, so I'm quietly hopeful. I believe his a genuine fan of the games.

Fingers-crossed Akira Yamaoka & Jeff Danna are back as the soundtrack is so important.

It seems Hollywood is still missing the point regarding Pyramid Head being a manifestation from James himself... really tired of people purposefully trying to make him the boogie man of Silent Hill.

This sums it up nicely.

Any Silent Hill adaptation that features Pyramid Head but not James is going to be a complete piece of shit.

I'm pretty sure the movie involves James in some shape or form from what I've read/heard. Just tired of creatives making PH a way bigger deal than he needs to be.

They're going full Pinhead. That character was never some "breakout slasher star" in Hellbound Heart nor Hellraiser but of course the film industry has managed to turn an incredibly thoughtful thing into a cheap slasher mascot.

Also, this looks like a shitty action figure and or a game with weird claymation art style. I'm sure this'll be fucking dogshit.

Not exactly a stellar cast.
