Silent Hill has proven to be a powerhouse franchise,” Open Road CEO Tom Ortenberg said. “The fans have greeted each incarnation, including the original Silent Hill film, with great enthusiasm and we are confident that this latest project will be a strong addition to Open Road’s 2012 slate.”  

“The film is a thrill ride that improves on the original in many ways,” Hadida said. “We take all audiences, new and old, deep into the world of psychological horror that is Silent Hill, and advance the story for those familiar with the franchise. We are thrilled to have Tom and his terrific team at Open Road presenting our film to US audiences.”
