Mini FAQ

Q: If Return to Silent Hill isn’t out yet, should it “count”?
Some fans say “there are two Silent Hill movies” because they only count released titles. Others talk about “three” when including Return to Silent Hill as an officially announced, in-production film.

Q: Is this like Resident Evil where there are tons of films?
No. Compared with the many Resident Evil movies, Silent Hill has stayed very small , with just two theatrical releases over nearly two decades.
