Answer 3

I agree with "Jenova" - they are not dead.  You don't necessarily have to play the game to understand the movie, but it would definitely get you used to the complexity of the story.  Here's my take on it...

Contrary to popular belief, Rose and "Sharon" are not dead. Rose and her husband can't see each other because they're still in Alessa's alternate dimension, while Chris is in the real world. Here's the deal...

There are three parts of Alessa:

- Alessa (the burned girl/woman in the oxygen tent)

- Sharon (Alessa's good side)

- Dark Alessa (Alessa's evil side)

Sharon and Dark Alessa are basically manifestations of the two sides of Alessa - the good side and the evil side. As for how Alessa created these manifestations and the alternate dimensions (foggy Silent Hill and dark Silent Hill, aka - The Otherworld), it can only be assumed that she possessed some kind of supernatural power (as evidenced by the wilted flowers in her hospital room and her hurting the nurse).  This, in addition to the fact that she had no father, would obviously lead everyone associated with the cult to call her a witch. This power was amplified by her growing hate as she suffered in the hospital after being nearly burned to death by the cult.  That being the case, this is what happened:

1) Dark Alessa does not, in fact, take over or possess Sharon at the church near the end. Dark Alessa (the evil side) simply recombines with Sharon (the good side), creating a new and complete "reincarnation" of Alessa.

2) Alessa's "pact" with her evil counterpart that we saw in the flashback not only ensures that she will help her exact her revenge, but that Alessa, after making herself "whole" again, will also have a second chance at life with a new (and surely in her eyes, better) mother: Rose.

3) And as for the ending:

Alessa's plan works - she gets her much deserved revenge on the cultists, Dark Alessa and Sharon recombine and create a newly "reborn" Alessa, and she ends up with Rose (who either isn't aware or just doesn't care that this little girl isn't "her Sharon" anymore) as her new mother. Now with Sharon's memories of the outside world to work with after reuniting her two halves, Alessa can extend her alternate dimension and create a world just like the one Sharon and Rose lived in, where they can stay forever. In other words, Alessa doesn't want them to leave her alternate dimension and in her eyes, for good reason. The real world is where Alessa was hurt, abused and humiliated. In the real world, she felt unsafe, unloved and that the people are untrustworthy (especially men, considering that the absence of her father was the source of her torment, in addition to her horrific experience with the school janitor). Alessa wants to live out the rest of her new life with her new loving mommy in her alternate dimension, where she's in control and she feels safe. Unfortunately for Rose, this end result means that she is essentially trapped in Alessa's alternate dimension indefinitely.

Hope this helps.  :)

Answer 4

yeah they were dead and didn't know it. that explains all the weirdness that went on throughout the movie.

if you follow the video game it explains it all, but I personally don't. I had to look it up after the movie ended. needless to say I was upset haha.

but yeah I heard rumor somewhere of a sequel... I don't know if thats going to happen but maybe it will tie up some loose ends.

Edit: Yeah I'm not sure about the body thing either. maybe they're trying to throw a twist into the works here for the sake of making a sequel... but like I said who knows if thats going to actually happen. good movie, bad ending.

Answer 5

They're not dead, they're in an alternate reality sort of thing. I liked the ending. You think they got home and everything is alright, but then you realize it's not.  

Answer 6

all of those answers are wrong.  Rose, Sharon and Cybil did NOT die in the crash.

to understand this movie better, it really is a good idea to have played the games.  in the games, you see exactly how the characters move between Silent Hill and its dark side.  and it does NOT involve dying.
