Episode Description
This week we review and discuss Return to Silent Hill, a psychological horror film directed by Christophe Gans and starring Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson. The movie follows the story of James who ventures into the abandoned town of Silent Hill and encounters various nightmares in search of the woman he loves.
We talk about the metaphor that drives the third act and try to make sense of it as someone who is not familiar with the games, why this movie has been treated unfairly by reviews and why reviewers on balance have let the audiences down when it comes to the discourse surrounding this movie, why Return of Silent Hill is held back by sometimes trying to be an adaptation of a beloved video game, and much more.
