Silent Hill

A duology and a reboot, not a trilogy. The 2026 film shares the town and nothing else.

Where to start with Silent Hill

There is no watch everything in order path here, because the newest film is not a continuation. Decide which of two things you want: the film continuity, which is two films, or the newest and most faithful single-game adaptation, which stands alone.

  1. 1
    Silent Hill Silent Hill

    The 2006 film is still the best received and best performing entry, and it is the only real entry point to the continuity. It draws mainly on the first game, with Pyramid Head and the nurses imported from Silent Hill 2.

  2. 2
    Silent Hill: Revelation Silent Hill: Revelation

    A direct sequel that is unwatchable as a starting point, because it opens on the previous film's ending. Radha Mitchell, Sean Bean and Deborah Kara Unger return, and the child from the first film is now the lead, recast.

Then what? Return to Silent Hill can be started cold and needs neither of the above. It adapts Silent Hill 2, which is a different story about different people in the same town: James Sunderland searching for his dead wife. Gans has described the franchise as an anthology and likened it to The Twilight Zone, and said outright that the film is a proposition and a companion to the game rather than the official adaptation. Critical reception was poor, so it is not the recommended first exposure despite being the newest. Silent Hill: Ascension is not a viable starting point and no longer exists as a live experience.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
