"Still, it’s hard to knock a sequel too much for landing exactly where its creators seem to have aimed for, especially when most of its shared references still have their background-Jumbotron-video-at-OzzFest-charms,” writes @simonsaybrams.bsky.social about RETURN TO SILENT HILL.
Return to Silent Hill movie review (2026) | Roger Ebert
Gans' sequel delivers more of the same, so it likely won’t impress anyone who doesn’t already enjoy getting lost in the fog.
