‘Silent Hill 4: The Room’ Gets a Re-Release on PC
Yesterday, we had a big clue that another Konami title was getting a fresh PC release when Silent Hill 4: The Room went through the same ratings system that Metal Gear Solid and other Konami classics went through before appearing on game selling site GOG. Lo and behold, today, Silent Hill 4: The Room has indeed received a re-release via GOG for $9.99.
It’s obviously not the Silent Hill most would pine for, but given various complications with any re-release of Silent Hill 2 and 3, it’s the logical one. It’s also easily one of the better games in the series.
First released back in 2004, Silent Hill 4 features not the titular town, but a single locked-down apartment (how timely) where protagonist Henry Townshend can travel to a series of unearthly worlds as he comes up against a seemingly undead serial killer. The game gained praise for its departure from the previous entries, but it’s fair to say many saw it as the beginning of the series’ downturn. Personally, I find it to be one of the more interesting sequels, that evokes the spirit of the psychological horror series at its best, but with a fresh twist.
For under ten crisp ones, it’s worth the visit, or revisit to The Room that isn’t utter guff.
The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
