Silent Hill is a 2006 horror film directed by Christophe Gans and written by Roger Avary. The film is an adaptation of the survival horror video game Silent Hill, created by Konami. The film, particularly its emotional, religious, and aesthetic content, includes elements from Silent Hill, Silent Hill 2, 3, and 4.
The film follows a mother, Rose, who takes her adopted little daughter Sharon, to the town of Silent Hill, for which the latter cries while sleepwalking. Driving to Silent Hill with Sharon to seek a solution there, Rose is engaged in a car accident, afterwards finding Sharon missing and the town engulfed in an alternate dimension. Searching for Sharon, she faces reality shifts and a local cult, while uncovering Sharon's connection to the town's past.
A sequel titled Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is due to release in 2012.
Rose (Radha Mitchell) and her husband, Christopher Da Silva (Sean Bean), are concerned about their adopted daughter, Sharon (Jodelle Ferland), who has been sleepwalking while calling the name of a town, "Silent Hill". Desperate for answers, Rose takes Sharon to Silent Hill. As they approach the town, she is pursued by police officer Cybil Bennett (Laurie Holden). A child appears in the road, causing Rose to swerve and crash the car, knocking herself unconscious. When she awakens, Sharon is missing, and fog and falling ash blanket the town.
