Ceritanya ternyata enggak happy ending, walaupun Rose dan Sharon bisa melalui peristiwa di kota Silent Hill. Tetap aja mereka tidak bisa bertemu Christoper karena beda dimensi walaupun tempatnya sama.


Silent Hill is a 2006 horror film directed by Christophe Gans and written by Roger Avary. The story is an adaptation of Konami's famous Silent Hill survival horror video game. The film, particularly its emotional and aesthetic content as well as its creature design, includes elements from the Silent Hill, Silent Hill 2, and Silent Hill 3 video games.[2]
----------------------

The film follows a mother who takes her troubled daughter to Silent Hill, the town the girl cries out for while sleepwalking. After being knocked unconscious in a car crash outside the town, she awakens to find her daughter missing and the town engulfed in a parallel reality of fog and falling ash. While searching for her daughter, she faces surreal reality shifts and suffering creatures while uncovering her daughter's connections to the town's dark secrets

The film starts with Rose and husband Christopher Da Silva (Radha Mitchell, Sean Bean) rescuing their troubled, adopted daughter Sharon (Jodelle Ferland) from sleepwalking near a cliff. Sharon repeatedly cries out, "Silent Hill." Desperate for answers, Rose takes Sharon to the town of Silent Hill, despite Christopher's opposition. At a rest stop, Rose finds that Sharon's drawings have been disturbingly altered. Sharon's cries raise the suspicions of a police officer. As they leave, the officer attempts to pull Rose over. Spotting the turnoff to Silent Hill, Rose evades the officer, swerves to avoid a young girl walking in the street, and is knocked unconscious.

Rose awakens in a limbo world of fog and falling ash.[3] With Sharon nowhere to be found, Rose enters nearby Silent Hill, where she chases the girl that she swerved to avoid, who resembles Sharon. A civil defense siren (mine collapse alarm) blares, and Rose is plunged into darkness. She is soon assaulted by disfigured, smoldering children (the Gray Children) that burn up as she passes out. She awakens back in the fog and runs back to her car, only to find a large chasm bisecting the road. She meets a ragged woman named Dahlia (Deborah Kara Unger) who speaks of the terrible things done to her daughter, Alessa, by the townspeople. Rose is attacked by Dahlia for her locket of Sharon while proclaiming "She's mine". Rose makes it to her car and finds a drawing of a school. She calls Christopher for help, who only receives enough fragments of her message to know where to search for her. When he arrives near Silent Hill, he is stopped by Officer Thomas Gucci (Kim Coates), who reluctantly agrees to help Christopher's search.

Rose is found and arrested by Cybil Bennett (Laurie Holden), the officer she evaded. Cybil defends herself from a mysterious creature (the Lying Figure) while Rose flees in handcuffs for Midwich Elementary School. Rose spots the girl (Jodelle Ferland) and chases her into a school restroom. She finds a corpse bound in barbed wire wearing the name tag "Colin." Rose pulls a stone from his mouth that reads "The Grand Hotel" and rushes to exit the room. When she opens the door, Rose is spotted by three mysterious figures wearing gas masks and wielding metal pipes and a flashlight (later revealed as the towns people). After they are locked out of the washroom, the three figures attempt to break down the door until their caged warning canary alerts them of the impending "darkness" and they flee for safety. Moments later the siren sounds and the world darkens again, this time much more dramatically. "Colin" reanimates, and Rose runs in terror only to fall from a window after being shocked by the sight of the girl drawing a picture. As she regains consciousness, a figure wearing a massive pyramidal helmet (Pyramid Head), carrying an equally massive sword appears walking through thousands of insect-like creatures (Creeper). Frightened, Rose runs away in the dark plane, passing Christopher's and Officer Gucci's position in the real world plane. While they are unable to touch or see one another, he feels her presence, which gives him hope. Back in the dark plane, Rose is saved by Cybil who pulls into a small room just before the insect-like creatures could attack them. After barring the doors closed, the two women are confronted by Pyramid Head who uses his massive sword to easily pierce the steel doors. The sword narrowly misses the women but opens a hole large enough for Pyramid Head to reach his arm through and attempt to remove the bar while the creepers crawl through. The two appear to be hopeless as bullets do little to stop Pyramid Head's attempt to open the door and the creepers begin to crawl on them when suddenly the world shifts back to the smokey plane. The creepers fall dead and Pyramid Head departs while the darkness recedes. Back in the foggy streets, they agree to head to the hotel to search for Sharon. Meanwhile, Christopher is ordered to go home after a failed search. Distrustful of Gucci, Chris breaks into the neighboring town's Hall of Records, where he finds information on Alessa. The police reports detail how she was burned with the town thirty years ago. Gucci follows him and arrests him for breaking and entering. He warns Christopher to let matters rest and releases him.

Cybil and Rose arrive at the hotel, where they meet Anna (Tanya Allen), a member of a religious cult. Cybil finds a clue in a mailbox and heads for Room 111, where a painting depicting a witch burning is found. Anna mentions the room is related to the first burning in Silent Hill. In a neighboring building, Rose encounters the mysterious girl again and chases her. The siren blares and Anna cries out that they must seek sanctuary at the church. There they encounter other cultists, summoned by the air raid siren mounted atop the church's bell tower. The Red Pyramid materializes, and Rose and Cybil watch in horror as he kills Anna with his bare hands. Rose and Cybil flee into the church, where the cult immediately condemns them as witches. Christabella (Alice Krige), head of the cult, silences them as she discusses Rose's situation. Christabella states that the demon, who resides in the town's hospital, holds the answers. Christabella returns Rose’s locket that was torn off in an earlier scuffle with the cult. She notices the picture of Sharon inside and declares that the child bears a likeness to Alessa. The cult convict Rose as a witch as Cybil fends them off. Rose takes a broken elevator to the basement, where she finds her path is blocked by a number of disfigured nurses. Rose uses a flashlight to distract them and escapes. The screen turns white.


Alessa rises from the depths of the town to exact her revenge on the cult.The mysterious girl praises Rose for following her clues and tells her story. Alessa was Dahlia's child, born out of wedlock, her father unknown. One day while being tormented by her classmates, Alessa escaped to the bathroom, where she was molested by the janitor, Colin. The religious community of the town agreed that Alessa needed to be "purified" because of her "sin." Inside the Grand Hotel, where the church held their cleansing ritual, Alessa was chained to a metal frame and burned. One of the chains broke and knocked the fire pot over, causing the fire to burn out of control. Dahlia returned with the police to find the hotel empty. A young Gucci freed Alessa and she was taken to the hospital and placed in an Intensive Care Unit. Asked to identify herself, the girl Rose has been chasing claims "I have many names. Right now, I'm the dark part of Alessa," and later "I am the reaper." She further explains that Sharon is a manifestation of Alessa's remaining innocence and goodness, and was taken to the orphanage and subsequently adopted by Rose and Christopher. "Dark Alessa" declares that the current state of the town is a personification of Alessa's nightmares, and they will not end until she gets revenge. Rose offers herself as a vessel to help Alessa into the church, which she cannot enter because of the cult's blind faith.

The cultists find Sharon hiding with Dahlia and both are brought to the church, where Cybil is tied up and burned alive. Rose enters the church just before Sharon is burned, declares to the cultists that there was no Apocalypse, but that they are already dead. She is then stabbed by Christabella in the chest with a dagger. The bloody essence of Dark Alessa pours out of the wound, bringing the darkness and disintegrating the floor from which adult Alessa, in her hospital bed, rises out of the pit. She uses barbed wire tentacles to kill the cultists. Rose, her wound apparently healed, frees Sharon, warning her to shield her eyes. Sharon peeks out to see Dark Alessa peering down at her, and passes out. Rose, Sharon, and Dahlia are the only survivors left in the foggy world. Rose and Sharon enter their car, which now starts. The road reappears and they leave the town. Their dimension is still shrouded in fog, including their hometown. Christopher naps at home in the real world as Rose and Sharon, still apparently invisible to him, enter the house. Though they occupy the same space, Rose and Sharon are still separated in fog.

Genre: Drama
Red Eye ( di negara jepang, judul film diganti Panikku Furaito-Panic Flight), film drama tahun 2005 yang dibuat Dream Works yang disutradarai Wes Craven dengan penulis Carl Ellsworth merupakan film dengan cerita yang sederhana namun menarik jalan ceritanya.

Dalam film ini diceritakan seorang manajer hotel yang bernama Lisa Reisert yang ditangkap dalam perjalanan ke Miami memakai penerbangan Red Eye. Orang yang menangkap, Jackson Ripper, memaksa Lisa untuk menggunakan wewenangnya sebagai manajer hotel yang akan dikunjungi seorang politisi yang berpengaruh (yang kemudian akan berusaha dibunuh oleh Jackson Ripper dkk).

Adapun alur ceritanya (dalam bahasa Inggris)..........

Lisa Reisert (played by Rachel McAdams) has a fear of flying, and after attending her grandmother's funeral in Dallas, Texas, she has to take a night flight (called a red-eye flight; hence the movie title) to Miami, Florida. She meets Jackson Rippner (played by Cillian Murphy)--whom she initially finds charming--and ends up having a drink with him while they wait to board their delayed flight. When the plane is ready, Lisa is pleasantly surprised to find that her seat is next to Jackson's. After the plane has taken off, however, Rippner reveals that he is an operative working for a group who intends to assassinate the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, and Lisa is instrumental in their plans because of her job at the Lux Atlantic Hotel as acting manager. If she refuses to cooperate, then Rippner will prompt a hit-man to kill her father. Reisert has no way of getting help without jeopardizing her father's safety, and the longer she waits, the harder it will be to prevent the murder.

She tries desperately to save the day. Her first attempt is when she tries to write a warning in a woman's book. However, Rippner finds out, and he headbutts her unconscious. She tries again by going into the bathroom and writing a warning on the mirror with soap. She tries to leave the bathroom but is stopped again. Rippner sees the message and shoves her back in.

Lisa begs Rippner not to kill her father. He responds to her by telling her not to gamble with her father's life. He then notices the scar above Lisa's breast and begins asking her about the scar's history. Lisa refuses to answer and Rippner then starts choking her because she is not being honest with him when he had been nothing but brutally honest with her. After letting go of her throat, he starts erasing the writing on the mirror while she is gasping for breath.

Cillian Murphy as Jackson Rippner and Rachel McAdams as Lisa Reisert

The assassination plan is to use a portable missile launcher from a boat in a nearby harbor and fire it at the hotel. The problem is that the Deputy Secretary likes to stay in a different suite, one that faces the city (away from the harbor). In order to assassinate him, Rippner must force Lisa, who is the manager of that hotel, to make a phone call from the airplane and order the hotel staff to change his reservation to a particular suite that faces the harbor. If she doesn't cooperate with Rippner, he will have her father murdered by a hit-man who is waiting just outside her father's house in Miami.

After one failed attempt due to turbulence from the storm in which the telephone was disconnected, Lisa successfully makes the phone call, and the hotel staff moves the politician to the targeted suite. The Secret Service checks and clears that room, and the Secretary settles in with his family. After the airplane lands and arrives at the gate, Lisa stabs Rippner in the throat with a pen, steals his cell phone and bolts off the plane into the terminal. A girl trips Rippner as he runs after Lisa, which provides Lisa more time to escape. Lisa runs through the airport and steals a car so that she can drive to her father's house in order to save him before Rippner can call the hit man. On the way, she makes a cell phone call to the hotel to warn them to evacuate immediately and that the deputy director is a target of an assassination plot. The Secret Service gets the Secretary and his family out of the room just seconds before the Javelin missile is fired and hits the hotel.

Jackson Rippner threatens Lisa Reisert

At the end of the film, Lisa rushes to her father's house to see if he's safe. She finds the hit-man right outside the front door, and she runs him over with the SUV. Lisa's father stumbles out of the kitchen, shocked at the man who was lying dead in the foyer and tells her that the police are already on their way. While Lisa calls her hotel to see if everything is alright, Jackson Rippner shows up and knocks out her father so that he can deal with her first. He chases her around the partially renovated house with a knife (a nod to Jack the Ripper) and finally ends up throwing her down a flight of stairs. Lisa crawls down the last few steps, where a gun is lying next to the dead hitman. She threatens Jackson with the gun. Jackson still attempts to escape but Lisa shoots him before he can. He kicks the gun out of her hand and grabs her by the hair when finally, Lisa's father shoots Rippner just as the police arrive, though whether he actually dies is unknown. At the hotel, the Homeland Secretary and the Secret Service are grateful to Lisa and her assistant Cynthia, who also helped save the day by pulling the fire alarm
