A child¡¯s mysterious ailment. A helpless
mother. An eerie, deserted city shrouded in mist, plagued by secrets. The
mysteries are only beginning to deepen.
When young mother Rose (Radha Mitchell) desperate to find a cure for her
daughter Sharon¡¯s (Jodelle Ferland) bizarre illness refuses to accept a medical
recommendation of psychiatric institutionalization, she flees with Sharon and
heads for SILENT HILL, the town that her daughter continuously names in her
sleep.
Although her husband Christopher (Sean Bean) adamantly opposes, Rose is
convinced the mysterious town holds the answers she so desperately needs. But as
her car approaches the deserted city¡¯s limits, a mysterious figure appears in
the road, forcing Rose to swerve and crash.
When she comes to, Sharon is gone, and suddenly Rose accompanied by a
determined police officer (Laurie Holden) from a nearby town is on a desperate
quest in Silent Hill to find her child.
Immediately it¡¯s clear that her destination left alone since devastating coal
fires ravaged Silent Hill is unlike any place she's ever been: smothered by fog,
inhabited by a variety of strange, haunted beings, and periodically overcome by
a living Darkness that literally transforms everything it touches.
As Rose searches for her daughter, she begins to learn the history of Silent
Hill its violent, puritanical past and the origins of its accursed state and
realizes that her daughter is just part of a larger, more terrifying destiny.
