peculation abounds over what actually happens at the end of the film. While the director has stated that this is meant to be the first in a series of films, he has also said that the sequel be "unrelated to the events of the first film", and will most likely be an adaptation of the second Silent Hill game. From what's shown in the film, we can however deduce that Rose assisted Alessa in getting her revenge on the Cult, but as a result, she effectively ended her daughter's life, which was more accurately a "dream of life" which Dark Alessa tells us "must end". Sharon reunifies with her other self when she sees Dark Alessa ascend the ladder in the church balcony, despite her mother's warning to not open her eyes. This is evident at the end for three reasons: (1) The looks exchanged between Dahlia and Sharon/Alessa, as she leaves the Church, (2) the fact that Sharon/Alessa starts the car with her mind when Rose can't and makes the Road magically appear. After all, Dahlia tells us early on that "Only the Dark One opens and closes the door to Silent Hill.", and (3) the way Sharon/Alessa looks at Rose as she enters what she believes to be her house, and also the way she glares into the camera at the end. In the end of the film, both Alessa and Rose remain trapped in the Foggy Dimension of Silent Hill.
