Continuity mistake: After the car crash, as Rose walks down the road calling for Sharon, the cut above her left eyebrows disappears for one shot.
Silent Hill (2006)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Christophe Gans
Starring: Sean Bean, Radha Mitchell, Deborah Kara Unger, Laurie Holden
Rose, after reaching the basement in the hospital, finds out that the 'demon' is actually a manifestation of the dark side of Alessa's soul. 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. Dark Alessa explains to Rose that she can not punish the fanatics because their "blind devotion" in their beliefs protects them. In order to rescue her adopted daughter (who is the manifestation of the remaining goodness of Alessa's soul), she offers to take Dark Alessa into the church. Rose goes into the church, in time to save her daughter, but not in time to save Cybil, the police officer, from being burned. After the Church leader stabs Rose, Rose's wound heals, and Dark Alessa and Alessa enter the church, and kill all the fanatics. The two sides of Alessa's soul recombine, creating a full rebirth of Alessa in Sharon's body. Rose leaves Silent Hill with Alessa, using her car (which Alessa now allows to work). Rose is still in the foggy world at the end, and her husband can't see her.

Trivia: Ironically the evil cult in this film is almost the exact opposite of that from the games. In the games, the cult is a malevolent force, trying to give birth to their dark god, and the burning of Alyssa was part of an ongoing process to help summon it. In this film, they're essentially extremely fanatical Christians who are trying to cleanse what they view as "evil" and "ungodly" and the burning of Alyssa was done because she was seen as "impure" and in need of cleansing by fire.
Question: 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.

Answer: 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.
