Return to Silent Hill #1 on Hulu, and it’s so much worse than I thought it would be

Fans have long argued whether a truly great Silent Hill movie is even possible, and after two largely panned features, it’s a valid question. With a total of eight mainline titles — soon to be nine with Silent Hill: Townfall — there are ample blueprints for a solid adaptation. These experiences share a rich iconography, relying heavily on character drama, psychological horror, and monsters laden with meaning. To make a great Silent Hill film, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel; you just need to trust and respect the source material. Unfortunately, nobody explained that to Christophe Gans.
