Return to Silent Hill is an insult to Silent Hill 2

When I first heard that Christophe Gans was directing a film adaptation of Silent Hill 2, I was cautiously optimistic. Gans was the mind behind 2006’s Silent Hill — arguably the least-awful film in the franchise — and I figured the 20 years he’d had to reflect on the flaws of the first film would prevent his new movie, Return to Silent Hill, from being a total disappointment.
