The main plot of the story is that Rose's daughter is sleepwalking and speaks of a place called Silent Hill. Desperate to seek answers she and her daughter journey to Silent Hill where she will encounter monsters and cultists.
The main character has a set goal throughout the movie and spends most of it seeking answers while her husband tries to find her.
There is gore throughout the movie and scary monsters (Pyramid Head being one of them); not a lot of cussing.
The movie storyline can get a bit complex and hard to follow but doesn't take away anything from the movie.
The movie itself represents Silent Hill very well.
