Entry To my understanding, the creatures only come out when the 'darkness' comes. But in the scene where Rose and Cybil run into the acid-vomiting zombies, there was no 'darkness'. Am I misunderstanding something? [In the games at least, the monsters are present even when the darkness isn't there - they could be a sign to indicate that the darkness is coming. It's not until the darkness comes that they are bombarded with them, and the most fierce creatures come out (in the case of the film, Pyramid Head - though he appears in the second game where there isn't a 'darkness' per se).]
Entry When the town first turns into "Dark Silent Hill", you can briefly see some sort of monster behind rose that shoots skyward. What monster is this? Is it Red Pyramid? [I thought it was just big pieces of the ground shooting upward. I didn't see pyramid head there at that time. Just pieces of silent hill shooting upward.]
Entry Why was Pyramid-Head's name changed to "Red Pyramid" for this film adaptation? [It is a reference to the red pointed hoods the executioners of Silent Hill wore in colonial times. This is also why the helmet is a pyramid in the game. Since he is never officially named in the game, only referred to by the characters as "Pyramid-Head," the filmmakers were free to come up with their own reference for him. "Red Pyramid" sounds more dramatic than "Pyramid-Head" and it ties the creatures' reason for being into the name.]
Entry Why exactly does the radio in the movie (and the game) react with static when a monster approaches? I've never been able to figure this out. [It's either simply the same phenomenon explored in the film "White Noise," or it could be Dark Alessa warning them. She doesn't want the mother to be killed; but she does need to refine the mother's will, for the final conrontation with Christabella, with tests of emotional and physical endurance.]
Entry Can somebody out there explain the ending for me? It made no sense. Someone told me they believed the mother and daughter, as well as the cop died in the accident and they were trapped in the town. However I don't buy that as the father and the other police found no bodies in the crash. [The three of them did in fact die in the crash. The officer with Sean Bean mentions that half of the bodies of people that died in the town's fire were never recovered. These were the people who entered Alessa's purgatory. The cop, the mom, and the girl all entered the purgatory as well, drawn in by Dark Alessa. Only they weren't there to be tormented and punished, they were there to help put an end to it all. Since their souls weren't destroyed by Alessa, they were able to leave the town after the purgatory had ended.]
