Trivia:
When Dahlia asks why Alessa didn't take her along with the others Rose says "Because you're her mother, Mother is God in the eyes of a child" at the end of the movie. There is a similar line spoken in the movie The Crow (1994) where Eric Draven says "Mother is the name for God on the hearts and lips of children". more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Rose first makes it to Silent Hill she screams out for Sharon as the camera rotates around her. In the first shot her hair is in her face, the next it's not, then it is again. This happens several times between each time the camera rotates. more

Rose: Sharon! She's not here! Oh, god. Christopher, can you see anything? Sharon! Sharon!

Amazingly Emotional, 22 April 2006
10/10
Author: Lindsay (KrwlngNMieSkin@yahoo.com) from West Babylon, NY, USA

This movie was amazing. Beginning to end it had me drawn in. This movie breaks the rules and thinks outside the box...and gets away with it. Maybe not a blockbuster, but definitely a cult classic :D To other reviewers: Please, do a little research before you cut the movie off at the knees. 1st off they're not Christian fanatics, they're another cult. Secondly, not everything is movies are based on real things. Certain things can be completely fictional. The movie was made to have that dream/nightmare feel. It was an amazing movie if you actually paid attention to it, and I'm sorry if your feeble mind cannot comprehend what is going on. As for the part where they tell you the back-story, it had nothing to do with anyone not knowing what was going on. Konami as well as Sony loved it so much they didn't cut anything. That is why the movie is so long. Not to mention this is a European FILM!!!! Japanese horror, European writers and actors with few Americans (yeah some of the actors were but they don't write the film). The movie is supposed to make you sit back and go "what the ****??" when things randomly happen...that's what Silent Hill is all about. This isn't your run-of-the-mill horror "horny teen" slasher film (which unfortunately is what's most popular in America). If you can, go to a matinée where you can watch it without all of the people who think they're in MST3k and all of the people who feel the need to talk to the screen. The story is deep, really deep. The ending is tragic. And if you still don't get it, it doesn't mean the movie sucked...it just means you don't get it.
