can anyone tell me about the ending of the silent hill movie?

Question

did they die? are they in an alternate universe???

is there gonna be a sequal? (if i spelled that right lol)

Answer 1

i don't know. i wanna see that movie tho.

Answer 2

They are still in the alternate area/hell place. They never left just drove out of the Silent Hill part of it.
I dont know of a planned sequal but there were 4 video games so... could be.

P.S. They didnt die in the car accident or their bodies would've been found in their car by the husband.

Answer 3

I believe they did die being that the guy was looking for her and couldn't find her even though they were in the same place. Anyway I figured they were dead when the mother and the girl walked into the living room at the end of the movie.

Answer 4

I can tell you I thought it sucked and certainly hope there is no sequel. I suppose it is open to interpretation, but I'm of the alternate universe camp.

Answer 5

I think they were already dead...it happened in the car accident I believe.

Answer 6

Yep, they're in a different place. They didn't die, though.

Answer 7

I so want to see that tell me how it was

Answer 8

Here is the whole storyline:
Sleepwalking
Rose and Christopher Da Silva (Radha Mitchell, Sean Bean) search for their daughter, Sharon (Jodelle Ferland), who has run off during the night in a fit of sleepwalking. After visualizing a pale female child enveloped in a pit of fire, Sharon comes close to falling off a cliff in a daze when Rose rescues her in an embrace as she cries out "Home! Silent Hill!" The sporadic episode motivates Rose to drive Sharon to the place in her drawings and in her dreams. Christopher is vocally against his wife and daughter going to the town that has been devastated by underground coal fires. They go despite his pleas for them to stay.

As day turns into night, mother and daughter break at a gas station in Brahams, a town not far from Silent Hill's turnoff. Rose finds that the innocent drawings that Sharon had earlier completed have been altered to portray disturbing images. Sharon cries out that she did not change them. Witnessing the outburst from the child, a police officer parked nearby with her motorcycle becomes suspicious and follows them as they leave. Down the road, as the officer attempts to pull Rose over, Rose spots the turn off to Silent Hill. Against her better judgement she hastily speeds towards the town, breaking through a large barricaded fence. It starts to rain heavily and a young girl is seen walking onto the road ahead. Rose, swerving to avoid her, is knocked unconscious as the car spins out of control to a dead stop.

Silent Hill
Waking up to a strange world of fog and falling ash, Rose finds herself alone as her daughter is nowhere to be found. Terrified, she spots a decrepit welcome sign and runs into Silent Hill in search for her daughter. Rose spots and chases the swift young girl that caused the crash running through the town, who looks uncannily like Sharon. As Rose follows her down a stairwell, an air raid siren sounds and the town is plunged into a world of darkness and rust. Here, while exploring, she is assaulted by small disfigured and charred children with immense cries (the Gray Children). After being overwhelmed Rose passes out as everything burns away into dust.


Rose (Radha Mitchell) and Dahlia (Deborah Unger).Upon awakening, she leaves the experience behind as she exits onto the streets and approaches the edge of town, which she finds has been cut off by a large chasm that disappears into the fog. After being assailed by a distressed woman named Dahlia when she asks where Sharon is with a picture inside a locket, she escapes to run off to her car to call her husband. Even though he only receives fragments of her message, he hears enough to head off to Silent Hill in search of his family. However, he is stopped by officers who have blockaded the entrance to the town. Thomas Gucci (Kim Coates), the officer in charge, agrees to help Christopher after hearing his situation and heads into town with him to escort him along his search. In doing so, he tells him about the coal mine fires that have been burning for far too long underneath the town.

[edit]
School
After Rose makes the call, she is arrested by the police officer who had followed her before, named Cybil Bennett (Laurie Holden). As they find out both of their vehicles are not responding, they decide to walk back out of town, only to find the road ends in another chasm. It is here where they are attacked by a creature in a straitjacket made of skin (the Lying Figure). While Cybil defends herself, Rose takes the opportunity to flee. Following a clue in a drawing Sharon made that she found by the car, Rose heads for Midwich Elementary School where she discovers a trio of men in miner suits, who chase her. Hiding inside a classroom, she finds one desk with fresh handprints on it, along with carved in curses directed at a girl named Alessa Gillespie (Jodelle Ferland). After a flashback that indicates Sharon and Alessa share a remarkable likeness, Rose spots the young girl running by the classroom and chases her once again. She eventually arrives in a restroom where she discovers a mutilated corpse bound in barbed wire, with a name tag giving him the identity "Colin". From a clue on the wall, Rose grabs a blue stone that has the word "Grand Hotel" on it that sits in Colin's mouth and heads for the door. But now that the miners have become aware of her whereabouts, she immediately closes and locks the door, only to lean and pray against it as the miners attempt to kick the door in. After watching a bird nervously chirp inside a cage, the miners quickly flee from the area as another air raid siren sounds, leaving Rose to witness another bizarre shift in reality as the walls peel away to a rusty under-layer.

As the corpse reanimates and approaches Rose, she runs out of the restroom to find the miners being attacked by a horde of cockroaches (the Creepers). While running, Rose falls out of a window onto the alley below. As she regains her composure, she is approached by The Red Pyramid (Pyramid Head) - a muscular humanoid that derives his name from a large pyramid that sits atop his head and wields a large blade. With the insects following him, Rose makes haste and runs across a courtyard into another section of the school. On the way, she passes by Christopher while he is searching for her. Even though they are in the same position in the town, they are not in the same reality. Somehow, he breathes in her perfume, which surrounds him in acknowledgement that his wife is somewhere to be found. Rose reenters the school and is unable to make sense of everything. In a fit of hopelessness and confusion, she weeps uncontrollably when the insects make their approach. Soon afterward, Cybil grabs her and pulls her into a secure room. After a short attempt by the Red Pyramid to enter the room, the darkness recedes and Cybil and Rose are left in a deserted school. Cybil, realizing Rose was not delirious, agrees to head to the hotel where she believes Sharon will be.

Meanwhile, Christopher is told by officer Gucci to go home after a failed attempt to find Sharon and Rose. Eventually, denying a refusal of information, he breaks into Braham's hall of records and finds information on a child who was badly scarred in a fire — Alessa Gillespie. Later, he enters the orphanage where Sharon was adopted, and Gucci, having followed his tracks, arrests him for breaking and entering. Though instead of taking him to the station, he confronts him and reveals his scarred hands along with the secrets of the town, and forces him to leave town.

The Grand Hotel
Back in the fogged world of Silent Hill, Cybil and Rose arrive at the hotel, where they meet Anna (Tanya Allen), a young, socially challenged girl who is throwing stones at the woman who Rose had met earlier, named Dahlia (Deborah Kara Unger). Dahlia runs off, and Anna then fortells how Dahlia is a blasphemer, a traitor whom not even the darkness wants. Cybil finds a picture in the mailbox for Room 111, and they agree to head up there, in which Anna follows. A large painting depicting a witch burning is found as Anna comments that Room 111 is related to the first burning before Silent Hill had a name. Rose, predicting it is Room 111, slashes through it with a knife and leaps over to a room inside the close neighboring building.

As they explore, Rose notices the young girl again, and as she catches up with her by crossing over a large burnt out hole in the floor, she hallucinates as the girl bursts into flames. As Cybil and Anna catch up with her, a flock of birds erupt from the bowels of the building and fly into the sky. Anna, realizing this, starts to cry out that they must flee to the church, as it is the only sanctuary from the darkness. When they make it to the church, they encounter other people running to the building as well, summoned there by an air raid siren atop the church's bell tower. Before the group enters though, Dahlia appears and warns them not to enter as the townspeople are not what they appear. Anna, in response, starts to throw stones at her. As the darkness extends toward the church, Anna doesn't realize that The Red Pyramid has materialized behind her. Rose and Cybil watch in horror as Red Pyramid rips off Anna's dress and then grabs hold of her chest. With one pull, he tears the skin clean off her body. He throws it at them as they dash inside the church and close the doors.

[edit]
The Church
Inside the sanctuary, they meet Christabella (Alice Krige) after convincing the townspeople that they were not responsible for Anna's death. They discuss with Christabella how Rose is looking for her child. Christabella in response, proposes that the demon who resides in the town's hospital, is the only one that can answer her search, though she does not expect them to survive. Before leaving Christabella finds Rose’s locket that fell off as they entered and takes it as she, Cybil, Rose, and a handful of miners head for the hospital.

Within the ground floors of the building, Christabella informs that the demon resides in a room in the basement, and reveals a map bolted to the wall, which Rose memorizes. A flashlight is given to her and she is informed that the monsters will be drawn to it, as they are taken to an elevator. As Christabella tries to return Rose’s locket, she notices the picture inside it of her daughter has a strong likeness to Alessa Gillespie. Declaring that child is a likeness of Alessa, they convict her as a witch. She orders the miners to capture Rose, but Cybil fends them off as Rose heads down in the elevator.

As Rose heads for the room after reaching the basement, she discovers the path blocked by a number of torpid and disfigured nurses with their heads swathed in bandages. After being exposed to the beam of her flashlight, the dormant creatures begin to move. Realizing the danger the knife-wielding nurses pose, she quickly turns it off and attempts to slip past them. The nurses detect her presence, however, and attack. However, the nurses are blind, and the nurse that declared the first attack accidentally attacked another nurse, thus starting a massacre of all the nurses. After evading the onslaught, Rose places the lit flashlight on the floor to distract them, and finally makes it to the room, where white light appears around her. The light lasts a while, and could be identified as a humorous loading screen.

A young girl’s voice praises her in the white light for following her clues and making it this far, and as a reward, Rose will learn the truth. She explains that Alessa was an innocent child whose mother was Dahlia. One day long ago, Alessa escaped into a bathroom from harassment by her classmates and others by being persecuted as a witch, only to encounter the school janitor Colin, where it is implied that she was sexually abused. It is here that it is revealed that the members of the town are puritanical cultists. Because of the believed sin she held, the church (led by Christabella) agreed the child needed to be cleansed, to which Dahlia obliged, but could not witness. After being left outside Room 111 that led to the churches congregation, she realized what she had done and fled to the police.

Inside the Grand Hotel, where the church held their cleansing ritual, Alessa was chained up above a fire, to which everyone praised the cleansing led by Christabella. However, before she was burned alive, one of the chains broke, knocking the fire pot over, causing the fire to burn out of control. Either because of the Hotel fire or the power of Alessa to bring the fires of hell, the coal mines of the town erupted into flames. After everyone was reported to have fled and left Alessa behind (in actuality they shifted into the alternate dimension of the foggy world Silent Hill), Dahlia returned with the police and fire department, where officer Gucci freed Alessa by risking burning his hands. She was taken to the hospital, where she was taken care of inside an ICU container mainly by a young nurse in red. The voice, now revealed as the young girl Rose has been following and the demon feared by the townspeople, explains this was where she arrived to help Alessa with her growing hate and vengeance. She explains that Sharon is a split of her innocence and good, while she herself is the vengeful, disgusted other, and the decaying, living body the original form.

The white light fades, and Rose finds herself in the hospital room with adult Alessa’s body inside the decaying ICU container. With the nurse in red whimpering to the side, the demon declares that this world is a personification of Alessa’s nightmares, and that the nightmare would not end until her vengeance is complete. Rose, now accepting and understanding what is going on, gives herself as a trojan horse for the demon to enter the church, because the blind faith of the congregation prevents Alessa’s personalities from entering. Soon, Rose melds with the demon.

Meanwhile, the cultists are hurriedly looking for Sharon, believing that if they sacrifice her, they will avoid another apocalypse. They discover Sharon hiding with Dahlia and both are brought to the church. Cybil is shown to have survived her prior beating. Unfortunately, the Elders have tied her to the top of a ladder, and are preparing to burn her for aiding “the witches”. Christabella sets fire to the pit, and Cybil's ladder is lowered into the pyre. Cursing the Elders, Cybil proclaims that they all are “already in their own hell” and is consumed by the flames. Before the same can be done to Sharon, Rose enters the church.


Rose (Radha Mitchell) is stabbed by ChristabellaRose attempts to reason with them, insisting that Alessa was innocent, that their sacrifice of her was a sin and that it was the blind devotion of the church that brought this Hell upon them. As she advances toward Christabella through the crowd, she continues to argue with them in an attempt to expose the flaws of their faith and force them to accept their fate. Christabella, in response, stabs Rose in the chest with what appears to be an athame. Realizing, however, that she has committed murder, she quickly spins the episode, insisting that what she did was justified, as Rose was a blasphemer.

[edit]
Alessa's Revenge
As Rose collapses, the demon frees itself from her body through her blood, healing her in the process. Like the rest of Silent Hill, the church falls into ruin as it is drawn into Alessa's nightmare, its most pronounced transformation being the falling away of the floor to reveal a pit of fire from which Alessa rises, supported by lengths of rusted barbed wire, in her hospital bed. Using the barbed wire, she enacts her revenge upon the cultists of Silent Hill that burned her so many years ago. She treats each to a painful death involving being ripped to shreds by rusty barbed wire, with Christabella's death being the most gruesome: It appears she's sodomized with numerous chains of barbed wire, and then is liquified as each of those chains are ripped out of her body. As this is happening, Rose makes her way to her child, frees her, and cradles her against her chest, insisting that she close her eyes. Sharon, however, looks, and sees the demon Alessa staring down at her before the scene ends. When we rejoin them, it is made obvious that Sharon has been reunited with her former self, and is no longer Sharon, but the reunified Alessa Gillespie.

Rose, Sharon/Alessa, and Dahlia are the only ones to survive the carnage. As Rose and Sharon/Alessa exit, Dahlia asks why she was spared. Rose, echoing Cybil Bennet's belief, says that “A mother is God in the eyes of a child."

Rose and Sharon/Alessa enter their car, which now starts, to drive out of Silent Hill and to their home. Their world, however, is still shrouded in fog, including Brahams and their hometown. Christopher is shown napping on the living room sofa as it rains outside. Rose and Sharon — still within the fog — enter the house. Rose, still trapped in the shifted world, sits down opposite where Christopher is as he sleeps in the real world. He awakens, sensing his wife's perfume once again, and rushes toward the open front door, hoping to see Rose. This hope proves ill as there is no one there and Christopher stares blankly into the rain.
