Alright, Gans is back on the director's chair—hopefully he brings the same foggy, unsettling vibe that made the first film a cult hit. Just hoping they lean into the psychological horror roots and don't water it down for mainstream appeal.
Honestly, I’m cautiously optimistic about this one—Gans returning gives me hope for that classic Silent Hill atmosphere. Fingers crossed they nail that psychological dread and don’t just rely on jump scares.
