Return to Silent Hill director seeks more films despite low Rotten Tomatoes score

Christophe Gans, the director of Return to Silent Hill, has voiced his desire to produce additional movies in the Silent Hill series. This comes even as the film has received a 16% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Gans remains optimistic, citing positive feedback from audiences.

The recent release of Return to Silent Hill, an adaptation inspired by the acclaimed horror game series, has sparked mixed reactions. While the movie garnered a notably low 16% score on Rotten Tomatoes, director Christophe Gans is undeterred in his vision for the franchise's future.

In a statement, Gans expressed confidence in his approach, saying, "I can see that plenty of people are thinking I'm doing a pretty good job." This reflects his belief that despite critical reception, a significant portion of viewers have connected with the film's atmosphere and storytelling, which draw from the eerie world of Silent Hill.

Gans's enthusiasm points to potential expansions within the Silent Hill universe, a series originally developed as a video game known for its psychological horror elements. The director's comments, shared amid the film's rollout, underscore a commitment to further exploring these themes on the big screen. As the project continues to generate discussion, Gans's perspective highlights the divide between aggregate critic scores and individual audience experiences in horror cinema.
