A woman named Rose Da Silva goes in search for her troubled daughter,
Sharon Da Silva within the confines of a strange, desolate town called
"Silent Hill." She is very concerned Sharon who has been experiencing
severe nightmares and has begun sleepwalking. Their only clue to the girl's
condition is her repetition of Silent Hill. Desperate for answers, Rose
takes Sharon to the town of Silent Hill, despite Christopher's opposition.
She reaches the town, but is knocked unconscious in a car crash, and
awakens to find Sharon is missing.
After the continuous sleep walking episodes of Sharon, the young daughter
of Rose Da Silva, the decision is made to take Sharon to the place only
mentioned in her restless dreams- Silent Hill. However, the road to Silent
Hill is anything but easy to access, and Rose creates a high speed chase
between herself and a police officer only to end in a crash for them both.
When she wakes up, Sharon has disappeared and Rose is at the entrance to
the deserted, dream-like town of Silent Hill. As Rose begins the search for
her daughter, she does not realize the terror and mystery surrounding her.
Rose is led on a blind search for her beloved daughter, finding herself
getting more and more entwined into disturbing past of Silent Hill.
Rose cannot accept the medical diagnosis that her daughter, who suffers
nightmarish trances in which she refers to the town of Silent Hill, is
going insane. Over the protests of her husband, she flees with her child,
Sharon, to Silent Hill seeking answers for her daughter's condition. It is
revealed that the town had been evacuated thirty years earlier due to an
unstoppable (and still burning) underground coal fire, and that Sharon was
likely born there. A local motorcycle cop named Sybil ends up pursuing Rose
and Sharon into the outskirts of the abandoned and cordoned off town on a
rainy night, where they suffer simultaneous "wipe-outs" and black out. Rose
awakens to find that everything is lit by an unearthly, luminous mist and
that her daughter is gone from her SUV. Following what she thinks is her
daughter's silhouette all over town, Rose is lured to a group of horrific
creatures and blacks out again to the sound of a wailing emergency-alert
siren--just as the creatures have gotten a good grip on her...
Sharon is a little girl who sleepwalks and has seizures; lately they've
been getting worse. She keeps mentioning the same thing in her trances:
Silent Hill. Over the protests of her husband, Sharon's mother (Rose) flees
with her child. She ends up driving and crashes. She wakes up in the eerie
and deserted town of Silent Hill. Sharon is gone. 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 was pulled in with her, Rose searches for her little girl
while learning the history of Silent Hill.
Routed from sleepwalking problems, Rose Da Silva decides to take her
daughter Sharon to the town she talks about in her sleep, Silent Hill, to
face her nightmares, where Sharon goes missing and Rose must fight the
power of the town to get her back.
