Return To Silent Hill Reveals Digital Soundtrack Release

This sounds like it could be ideal for fans.

RETURN TO SILENT HILL.

The film, directed by Christophe Gans and starring Jeremy Irvine as James Sunderland, is based on Konami’s classic horror video game, SILENT HILL 2. 2026 marks the 20th anniversary since the first SILENT HILL film was released in theaters. 

The soundtrack was created by longtime SILENT HILL composer Akira Yamaoka, who is also an Executive Producer for the film. Yamaoka’s musical signature has been an integral part of the series since the first note of the original video game. 

Fans of SILENT HILL 2 will recognize favorite melodies in standout tracks like “Chasing Laura” and “Moth Mary”.

For Akira Yamaoka, the most important principle in scoring SILENT HILL, whether film or video game, is: “Do not explain fear.” 

“In many films, music clearly tells the audience: this is sad, this is scary, this is the moment to feel uplifted. But in the world of SILENT HILL, the moment you do that, fear and sadness collapse the instant they are explained.

“I took a different approach with RETURN TO SILENT HILL: not completing emotions, not resolving things—even at the climax—and keeping a slight distance, rather than having the music ‘embrace’ the scene.

“As a result, the audience can no longer be sure whether they are listening to music or hearing sounds that exist inside the world itself. For longtime SILENT HILL fans, this may feel unsettling—and, at the same time, strangely familiar.

“What flows through this story is not clear-cut anger or fear, but something far more ambiguous—unspoken regret, lingering attachment, and a mind that has not yet grasped that there is no way back. I was constantly thinking about how such a state could be made to exist as sound.

“The music for this film does not aim for listeners to remember a striking phrase. Rather, it seeks to leave behind a state where, after the film has ended, only an emotion remains—one that cannot be easily put into words.”
