Desperate to find a cure, Rose takes Sharon to the place she talks about in her dreams: Silent Hill. After an accident in the dark, Rose wakes up to find Sharon missing from the vehicle.

When Christopher discovers where Rose has taken Sharon, he follows her to Silent Hill where he finds her empty vehicle being investigated by Officer Thomas Gucci. Together they also drive into the town to find it abandoned however there is no ash falling from the sky; they are met only with empty streets on a bright sunny day.
This is the beginning of the mystery surrounding the mining town that was abandoned after a coal fire broke out underground thirty years prior. As Rose struggles to survive through the horrific events occurring around her she continues to search for her daughter and uncovers the truth about Silent Hill’s fate.

Laurie Holden, Jodelle Ferland and Deborah Kara Unger co-star in this horror film based off of Konami’s popular survival horror game by the same name. Written by Roger Avary and directed by Christophe Gans, this film is more than just a video game adaptation. It is a reflection of the darkness within each of us and the horrors that everyday people inflict upon others. Beautifully filmed this movie is packed with haunting images of tortured souls and horrific creatures that walk the streets in eternal damnation.
