Synopsis:
A woman desperate to save her dying child finds herself trapped
in an alternate reality as she searches for her daughter in a
dangerous world of demons.
Rose cannot accept the knowledge
that her daughter Sharon is dying of a fatal disease. Over the
protests of her husband, she flees with her child, intending to
take the girl to a faith healer. On the way, she ends up driving
through a portal in reality, which takes her to the eerie and
deserted town of Silent Hill.
Sharon disappears in Silent Hill,
and Rose follows what she thinks is her daughter’s silhouette
all over town. It’s soon clear the town is not like any
place she’s ever been. It’s inhabited by a variety
of creatures and a living darkness that descends and literally
transforms everything it touches. The human inhabitants—the
ones who are left—are trapped and fighting a losing battle
against the Darkness.
Joined by a cop named Cybil, who
has been sent to bring her and Sharon back, Rose searches for
her little girl while learning the history of Silent Hill and
that Sharon is just a pawn in a larger game.
To save her daughter, Sharon makes
a deal with a demon in the form of a little girl, and allows the
forces of darkness to take the town and destroy those who tried
to destroy the demon. In the end, she saves her daughter but at
a high price.
