Rebel Monkey Production Releases Fan-Funded Silent Hill Short Film “A Letter to James”

The Ukrainian creative team at Rebel Monkey Production, best known for their atmospheric short based on Alan Wake, has just unveiled their latest project — a gripping new film titled Silent Hill: A Letter to James, inspired by the cult classic Silent Hill 2. The short thriller is now available to watch for free on YouTube.

Set in the fog-shrouded town of Silent Hill, the film follows James Sunderland, who is lured back to the cursed town after receiving a mysterious letter from his late wife, Mary. What awaits him is a descent into horror, filled with grotesque monsters, unsettling encounters, and an emotional confrontation with the past. It’s a tale of love, guilt, loss, and redemption — one that echoes the psychological depth of the original game.

The film was brought to life through the passion and support of the fan community. A total of 169 backers contributed $10,000 to the project, while additional funding came directly from the studio. This backing enabled the team to expand the runtime, boost visual quality, and elevate post-production effects, ensuring a cinematic experience that pays homage to the source material while standing on its own.

Whether you’re a longtime Silent Hill fan or new to the foggy streets of this iconic franchise, A Letter to James is a must-watch tribute crafted with heart, talent, and respect for the original.
