Del Toro: “There Is Hope For ‘Silent Hills'”
Update 9/17/15: Guillermo del Toro has created an official Twitter account, which negates this story.
The emotional rollercoaster that is the Silent Hills saga is beginning to spin wildly out of control. First the P.T. demo is released and people figuratively – and in some cases literally – shit their pants over how cool it is. Then it becomes crystal clear that it’s essentially a long teaser for a new Silent Hill entry. Only for this game they’ve got Hideo Kojima, Guillermo del Toro, and Norman Reedus attached, which basically blew up the gaming world. Then it all came crashing down when Kojima and Konami went their separate ways and the title was officially cancelled. Or was it?
Tweeting about a fan petition that is nearly 200,000 signatures, del Toro issued an interesting statement about the game, saying “…Hay esperanzas para #SilentHills“, which translates to “There is hope for #SilentHills“.
Now, it should absolutely be noted that this is NOT a verified Twitter account and that there are some suspicious aspects surrounding this page. For example, the Twitter bio leads to a fan website. Additionally, some tweets are simply past quotes from del Toro. However, it’s nice to have that little bit of hope.
Sé que hay una #petición en marcha en #Internet y que se están recogiendo #firmas. Hay esperanzas para #SilentHills

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
