Silent Hill: Revelation

Continuity mistake: In the first film, "Red Pyramid" is portrayed as absolutely massive. (Judging by the scene in which he rips a cultist's skin off, he is about 10-12' tall) Yet, as evidenced in the final fight sequence, he appears to be significantly smaller in this film. (7-8' tall).

Continuity mistake: At the end, when Claudia transforms into the final creature after touching the seal/amulet, her human body begins to disintegrate. As she screams and the scene cuts from a medium shot to a closeup, all of her hair suddenly vanishes between shots.

Continuity mistake: When Heather is in the mall and sees the guy hanging upside down, the way the man rips the flesh looks and moves is fake, you can see the hole of were the flesh ends.

Plot hole: The motivation of the cult in this film - a dark entity trying to birth their demonic god - is completely different from the cult of the original film, which was portrayed as fanatical Christian witch-burners. No satisfactory explanation is given in the film to explain this and in fact the film explicitly implies they are the same cult on several occasions. The explanation that the cult of the original film is some sort of offshoot or different sect of the cult from this film cannot explain this as it is pure fan speculation and conjecture (thus non-canonical) and in fact raises several more plot-holes.

Trivia: Sean Bean, who appears as Harry/Christopher, is notorious for having "died" onscreen in many of his roles. (He is currently one of the top 5 actors who have had the most on-screen deaths) While his character does indeed survive the film, he is briefly seen dying in a dream-sequence, making this film technically count as a film in which he both dies onscreen, but also a film he survives.

More trivia for Silent Hill: Revelation

Question: Towards the end of the film, Heather steals the Seal from inside of Leonard, and we see him burn up. But the shot goes noticeably out of focus when this happens. What gives? The scene appears to be CG, so it makes no sense for it to go so badly out of focus. Were they just trying to cover up a dodgy effect?

Answer: I believe your theory is correct, it appears to go out of focus to help cover up some unconvincing CGI. The final explosion looks very cartoonish.
