action
The plot starts with the events of the first film. Rose Da Silva and her daughter Sharon are trapped in Silent Hill, a parallel world shrouded in falling ash . However, Rose is able to establish contact in the real world with her husband Christopher through a mirror and manages to send him Sharon with an amulet. However, Rose stays there to distract the cult - which Sharon wants in his power. Sharon has no recollection of the events in Silent Hill and Christopher lies to her believing that her mother died in a car accident.
Years later, Sharon , who had grown into a teenager, and her father live under their assumed identities, Heather and Harry Mason. To hide from the cult, the two move constantly and change their identity to the same extent. Heather suffers from recurring nightmares in which she finds herself at the Silent Hill amusement park, where she is set on fire by the evil figure Alessa. On her way to school, Heather is questioned about her identity by Douglas Cartland - a cult-hired private investigator. Heather can get rid of him for the time being. At school, she meets the student Vincent, whom she runs into in panic when the school turns into a nightmare of an alternate dimension. After leaving school, she notices Douglas again and calls her father. After the call, Harry is kidnapped by an invisible force. Heather later waits for Harry in a mall when reality changes again and unleashed monstrous creatures appear instead of the children playing. While fleeing the monsters, Heather is pursued by Douglas, who is killed and abducted by a monster. Upon returning to the real world, Heather finds Douglas' body and escapes.
When Heather returns home, she finds a bloodied note written on the wall with the words "Come to Silent Hill". In the presence of Vincent she takes the amulet. When the police arrive, the two flee to Silent Hill. During the drive there, Vincent reveals himself to be the son of the cult leader Claudia Wolf, who commissioned him to bring Heather to the cult. However, he is not willing to hand her over because she is the good half of Alessa. At the same time, Silent Hill is once again transformed into a dark parallel world. Vincent can just give Heather the information that she is the only person who has the power to change reality and that Claudia's father Leonard Wolf - who is imprisoned in an asylum in Silent Hill - has the necessary information. Vincent is kidnapped by a monster and Heather is knocked unconscious.
Heather wakes up in ash-shrouded Silent Hill and meets Alessa's mother Dahlia. Heather asks her about her father's whereabouts and the other half of the amulet. Dahlia reveals to her that she herself is the manifestation of the good side of Alessa's soul. When darkness falls, Dahlia advises her to go to safety. Meanwhile, Vincent is denounced as a traitor to the cult because he wants to protect Heather. Claudia orders her men to bring Vincent to the asylum to "cure" him.
In the asylum, Heather meets Leonard, who tells her that Claudia locked him up because she believed he was infected with the darkness. Leonard explains to her that the amulet serves to "unmask the true nature of things" and drives Heather's half of the amulet into his chest, where the other half is also. The amulet reforms and Leonard turns into a monster, but Heather can defeat him and take the entire amulet from him. Shortly thereafter, Heather is caught by the patients, the monster Pyramid Head appears, fights against the patients and thus saves Heather's life. Heather finds Vincent strapped to a lounger, surrounded by monstrous nurses. Heather frees him and they both manage to escape. Eventually the two arrive at the amusement park, where Harry is held captive by the cult. Vincent distracts Claudia's guards so Heather can get into the park.
Heather is confronted with Alessa. The two fight for supremacy, with Heather being able to overcome and absorb Alessa . Heather ultimately finds her way to the cult where Claudia, Vincent and Harry are. Claudia defines Heather's return not only with the intention of destroying Alessa, but also to serve as an incubator that will enable the birth of her God and thus purify the world from sins. Claudia touches the amulet and transforms into the same monster that Douglas killed and previously attacked Heather. She tries to kill Heather, but is beheaded in the fight with the rushed Pyramid Head.
With the cult destroyed and Alessa's justice being done, the fall of the ashes on the city ends. Harry decides to stay in Silent Hill to find Rose. Heather and Vincent walk out of Silent Hill and head back to the real world, where they are hitchhiked to a man named Travis Grady. This drives the couple away when several police cars and a prisoner transport speed towards Silent Hill and the ashes begin to fall again.
Reviews
The film was largely received negatively by critics. On Rotten Tomatoes there are only ten percent positive reviews of 60 reviews. Metacritic gave the film a score of 16 out of 100 with 14 ratings. IGN gave the film a rating of 4.5 out of a possible 10 stars.
The editorial staff of Cinema said the film was an "effectively staged shocker without that certain something". The lexicon of the international film , on the other hand, wrote: “Continuation of the horror game adaptation“ Silent Hill ”, which can neither aesthetically nor narratively connect to its predecessor, but rather unimaginatively handles the set pieces of the genre and, moreover, hardly gets a grip on the complex plot .
