Glasgow-based studio Screen Burn is developing Silent Hill: Townfall, a new entry in the long-running Japanese horror franchise that is set on a fictional Scottish island rather than the series' traditional American settings. Director Jon McKellan said taking on the well-known brand felt "absolutely terrifying" for his relatively small team. The game features familiar British details, such as signage for a Sunday roast, woven into its horror setting.

Screen Burn, the Scotland-based studio behind Silent Hill: Townfall, confirmed that the game's fictional town of St. Amelia draws heavily on St. Monans, a real coastal village near Edinburgh. A CNET writer visited the actual location, finding it a cheerful tourist spot with cafes and old harbor boats, in stark contrast to the fog-shrouded, empty streets depicted in the game's trailer.

A new Resident Evil movie directed by Zach Cregger reportedly breaks from the franchise's Milla Jovovich-era action focus by recreating the dread and resource-scarcity feel of the original survival horror games. The story follows Bryan, a medical courier drawn into Raccoon City while grappling with impending fatherhood, and uses over-the-shoulder camera work reminiscent of classic Resident Evil gameplay. Cregger, known for Barbarian and Weapons, brings both horror filmmaking chops and genuine fandom to the adaptation.
