Silent Hill ending / spoiler
Rose, after reaching the basement in the hospital (where the demon in control of the dark otherworld of Silent Hill dwells), finds out that the demon is actually a manifestation of Alessa's desire for justice and revenge. Before the town was abandoned, the people seen earlier in the church were a cult-like group of religious fanatics that burned people they considered to be witches. They burned Alessa, but did not manage to kill her; before they could, the cult accidently set the coal below on fire, and the police arrived, sending Alessa to the town hospital. The demon explains to Rose that it can not punish the fanatics because their "blind devotion" in their beliefs protects them. In order to rescue her adopted daughter (who is the daughter of Alessa), she offers to take the demon into the church. Rose goes into the church, in time to save her daughter, but not in time to save Sybil, the police officer, from being burned. After the Church leader stabs Rose, the demon heals Rose, enters the church, and kills all the fanatics. Rose leaves Silent Hill with her daughter, using her car (which now seems to work). Rose is still in the foggy world at the end, and her husband can't see her.
