Akira Yamaoka’s ‘Return to Silent Hill’ Soundtrack Now Available to Stream Digitally

Published

on

With Christophe GansReturn to Silent Hill out now in theaters, Laced Records has gotten in on the fun with the announcement of the film’s soundtrack now available on major streaming services. As any Silent Hill fan would expect, the soundtrack is composed by longtime series composer Akira Yamaoka.

For Yamaoka, the most important principle in scoring Silent Hill, be it 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.”

For Return to Silent Hill, Yamaoka took a different approach when scoring the film, preferring to keep the music at “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.

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.”

Here’s the lengthy track list for the soundtrack:

  1. Ashes In The Moonlight
  2. The Letter
  3. The Forest
  4. Homeless Guy / Heaven’s Night
  5. The Lakeview
  6. The Portrait

  15. A Corridor Without End
  16. The House That Breathes
  17. Tailing
  18. The Altar
  19. Dormant Voices
  20. Brookhaven Hospital
  21. Dance Studio
  22. Echoes Of A Fading Figure
  23. Chasing Laura
  24. Head No. 2

  45. The Elevator
  46. Moonlight Burial

Starring Jeremy Irvine as James, alongside Hannah Emily Anderson as Mary Crane, Return to Silent Hill sees James receive a letter from his lost love, Mary. He is drawn to Silent Hill—a once-familiar town now consumed by darkness. As he searches for her, James faces monstrous creatures and unravels a terrifying truth that will push him to the edge of his sanity.

Christophe Gans, who also directed the 2006 film adaptation of Silent Hill, wrote the script for the new movie alongside Sandra Vo-Anh and William Josef Schneider.

Hold the Fort Trailer

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.

Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.

In the film,Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.

Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.

Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (The Walking Dead), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.

William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).

Ahead of the release, Bagley said,My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.

Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.

I wrote in my review,It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.
