Doe's anyone understand the ending in Silent Hill the movie?

Answer 1

Yes. Contrary to popular belief, Rose and Sharon are not dead. They're just still trapped in Alessa's alternate dimension. Here's what happened:

There are three parts of Alessa:

- Alessa (the original body)

- Good Alessa (Sharon)

- Dark Alessa ("The Demon")

Sharon and Dark Alessa are basically physical manifestations of the two sides of Alessa - the good side and the evil side. As for how Alessa created these physical manifestations, it can only be assumed that she possessed some kind of supernatural power (possibly telekinetic and/or psionic powers, which would obviously lead everyone associated with the cult to call her a witch). Assuming this is true, the ending goes as follows:

1) Dark Alessa (aka - "The Demon") does not, in fact, take over or possess Sharon. Dark Alessa simply recombines with Good Alessa (Sharon), creating a new "reincarnated" Alessa.

2) Alessa's deal with her evil counterpart is not simply that she will help her exact her revenge, but that she will also be granted a new life with a better mother: Rose.

3) In this case, ending has two possibilities:

a.) Alessa's plan works and she is granted a new mother in Rose. However, because Alessa was motivated by hate and revenge and let her evil side take over (as well as Rose's part in the revenge), Rose and Sharon (Alessa #2) are doomed to live in the purgatory-like realm that Dark Alessa created. Therefore, no one really wins.

or

b.) Alessa's plan works and she is granted a new mother in Rose. Now with Sharon's memories to work with after reuniting with her, Alessa can extend her sphere of influence and create a world just like the one Sharon and Rose lived in, where they can stay forever. In other words, Alessa doesn't want Rose to leave her alternate dimension; she wants to keep Rose all to herself.

This movie is inspired by the first Silent Hill game, with elements of 2, 3 and 4 thrown in. In Silent Hill 1, Harry Mason (the game's protagonist) was a single father with a daughter named Cheryl (he didn't kill his wife; she died of a terminal illness). You're thinking of Silent Hill 2, but the protagonist in that game (James Sunderland) didn't have a child. He had a wife named Mary that he thought died of a terminal illness, but later on we find out that he was suppressing memories of having killed her.

Answer 2

The mother and the daughter are both dead. Once they entered Silent Hill they both died. I'm assuming when the mother cracked up the jeep and same goes for the cop on the motorcycle. When the father entered Silent Hill with the detective they were in another world than the mom and daughter because they were alive. The world the mother, daughter and cop entered was the world that the burned girl created in Silent Hill.

Answer 3

In the game the husband killed the wife and daughter, but didn't realize it. In the game that monster-guy with the huge axe is a darker manifestation of the husband. Whether he killed them or not, they are dead and in a sort of purgatory.

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

dahlia, the mom, died and so now she's in the "dead world" or whatever. that's why it was foggy and her husband cant see her. she's a ghost, and her daughter was replaced with the little evil chick. (i forgot her name. i havnt seen it since april.)

Answer 6
