Other mistake: During the scene with Pyramid Head removing the bar blocking the door to the room where Rose and Cybil are, the flashlight's light is being pointed at the door the entire scene. However, Cybil is only seen pointing it at the door at the beginning of the scene, and then at the end when she realizes Pyramid Head is destroying the barricade. Throughout the entire middle of the scene, Cybil is not pointing the flashlight at the door as it would seem, rather she has her body, and hands, pinned to the back wall with the flashlight pointing downwards.
Silent Hill (2006)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Christophe Gans
Starring: Sean Bean, Radha Mitchell, Deborah Kara Unger, Laurie Holden
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.
Dahlia Gillespie: Why didn't she take me? Like the others?
Rose Da Silva: Because you're her mother. Mother is God in the eyes of a child.
Trivia: Director Christophe Gans wanted to use the original soundtrack recordings of Akira Yamaoka's scores from the various "Silent Hill" video games in the film. However, due to a legality issue necessitating the hiring of a Canadian composer for the film, Jeff Danna was selected to serve as the lead credited composer. However, it was later confirmed that he actually composed very little original music for the film, and instead mainly focused on created re-mixes and new recordings of the themes from the video-games, so that he and director Gans could preserve Akira Yamaoka's music and style as much as possible.
Question: 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.

Chosen answer: They did not die in the accident. Rather, Alessa's rage and the demon's power caused the town of Silent Hill to fracture into at least three different "dimensions" that we know of (the real world, "fog world" and "other world", plus potentially others). Rose and Sharon are unfortunately stuck inside of one of those alternative realities. The sequel also confirms that they are very much alive.
