The original Silent Hill, based on a game, is an eerie trip into a world of the demonic.

This sequel takes place some years later, the focus on the young Heather, Adelaide Clemens, travelling with her father, Sean Bean, who says that her mother has been killed but is, in fact, trapped in Silent Hill (Radha Mitchell).

Heather encounters a young student, Kit Harrington (Game of Thrones, Pompeii) who offers to help her but is, in fact, the son of the head of Silent Hill, Claudia, Carrie Anne Moss. A lawyer, Martin Donovan, is hired by Silent Hill but offers to help her – but is later killed, with police suspecting Heather. Heather has a great number of sinister adventures including going to visit the grandfather, played by Malcolm Mc Dowell.

The film has an eerie tone, dark sets for the demonic world – and is able to stand by itself without audiences having seen the original film.
