Dahlia wasn't the worst mother of all time but you have a point. She failed at the most important task for a mother. But Christabella manipulated her. Dahlia thought that Christabella would help Alessa but she never realized that her own sister could hurt her only daughter. At the hotel when Dahlia realized she was tricked what could she do? Fight with the cultists? She was alone and outnumbered. They could easily beat her if she tried to do stop them by herself. And who helps people in trouble if not the police? She run quickly as she could to get help but I doubt that the officers believed her when she told them about the situation at the first place. That's why she arrived too late to the scene. Look at her. She just crumpled on the floor and was devastated at the sight of burned Alessa. Also, at the end of the film, Dahlia survives the massacre in the church. Rose tells her that Dahlia is still mother of Alessa and even after all suffering she experienced, Alessa still loves her mother and doesn't blame her.

[@dolphinswilltakeover]

After watching this movie almost 10 years ago I think I finally understand alessa’s backstory. What I gathered (and some of this is assumed) is alessa’s mother had an affair with a married man, wishing to keep his identity secret she does not name him. Bc of this people in the occult kept rumors about alessa and her mother, speaking of those rumors around their children, which would explain why she was bullied at school for it, the kids heard the adults speak in metaphors (I presume) of alessa being the sin of her mother, and heard it as literal, which would also explain why she was bullied for being a witch or the spawn of evil. Being as alessa’s mother is the sister of the the headmistress of the occult, christabella wanted to eradicate of dahlia’s sin to hide shame of the family, and to my understanding explains why dahlia was not punished for committing adultery but instead her 9 year old daughter. So far this is what I think, but it doesn’t quite explain why dahlia followed them with alessa to the place where they “restore innocence”. But I think this also means dahlia knows what christabella has been doing, bc she knew what was going to happen to alessa hence her getting help. Dahlia’s mistakes, being coerced by her sister, and also the guilt she felt for conceiving alessa, makes sense to her hesitation. And also describes why dahlia is in purgatory. (This excludes any info from the game, just this film, and definitely not revelation)

[@princeali1932]

I think Dahlia didn't fully understand was they were going to do. After Alessa got assaulted Christabella said they will restore her purity which sounds like they were trying to help. It wasn't until Christabella told Dahlia to leave Alessa with them saying "we fight the sin not there sinner". That made Dahlia realize that they see her as the sinner and Alessa as the sin. That's when it dawned on Dahlia on what they were really doing. Unfortunately it was too late

As a big sister, a godmother, a baby sitter, a nanny, and hopefully one day a mother (as well as a hardcore empath), this scene is SUPER freaking painful to watch 😢 This movie has two of my biggest triggers and fears in it...death/torture by fire, and hurting an innocent child in one of the most cruel, painful manners possible. Absolutely sadistic...I know it’s just a movie and that it’s different from the games...but it’s still hard to stomach when you realize that there were and still are people out there in the world who lack conviction and compassion, and have used terrible methods like these to hurt other people. Yet despite all of that, I still think this movie was so well done and is strangely bewitching. I can’t stop thinking about it; kinda weird huh? Something with terrifying and disturbing scenes also happens to be strangely enchanting. I love the music and the overall aesthetic, and oh my gosh I want to rescue and protect Alessa from anymore harm. The first time I saw this film, my friend didn’t warn me about my two biggest triggers being in here, and I actually threw up during this scene and had to run out of the room during Cybil’s demise, Ugh...sorry, I know this is a novel and not necessarily super important 😅 but I felt like I needed to process my thoughts and feelings about this scene somewhere. It’s weighed heavily on my heart for a loooong time. It definitely helps make the movie easier to stomach, when watching the behind the scenes footage with all the wonderful actors and people involved. Sounds like they all had a fun time making it and enjoyed being together ☺️❤️ Wonderful acting! Awesome job 👏🏻🎶

I watched it back in 2011 when I was 8 years old and I was in my second year of school, this scene resonated a lot with the 8 year old kid that I was because I was getting bullied at school too and it was hellish, worst part about it is that even the teachers bullied me and I suffered from domestic violence at home it was horrible and I vividly remember those days, I remember when I saw the movie I knew just how Alessa must have felt.

[@worseorbetter]

Very nicely stated :) Alessa had been subjected to a pelethora of abuses since infancy. At the burning ritual the most sicking, saddest, and contemptious aspect (aside from Alessa's agony) is how none of the cultist questioned the morality of their actions or displayed any empathy towards this child. Instead, they held steadfast to beliefs concerning Alessa based on ignorance. Me, I would crash their party instead. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. We are - tonights'- entertainment!"

[@ShaDHP23]

Can I share my interpretation? When I first saw this in high school (before I knew the games existed and long before I had played any of them), I always thought Christibella wanted to kill Allessa because she was born out of wedlock, not because she thought she was a witch or demon. I think Christibella felt letting her live would allow others to believe sex outside of marriage to be acceptable, that Allessa's very existence would convince others that impure actions were acceptable, i.e., Allessa was an icon (product) of sin (adultery) and would invite others, and the "demon" she referred to was sin itself. I know this likely isn't the case, but that's art. It practically demands different interpretations.

[@christianmyers7386]

Hence the term "bastard" which wasn't the significance of this story.

[@JKumaD]

naa yee you're right man the interpretation is solid, and i think is supposed to go alongside the supernatural elements of a story. Take away the dark part of Alessa, the evil force that gave Alessa the power to create silent hill and cut everyone off from the world in her own little hell, and then what were the reasons for burning her? Women used to get burnt in the Salem Witch Trials for simply speaking up, hearsay, and things that we now deem normal like dancing, or any extravagant luxury outside of the necessities that the bible had laid out for puritan colonizers. So what did Alessa do besides exist? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. The absence of a father was one thing, a mistake not on the child but on the parent. Alessa is a product of that sin, so therefore (similar to puritan beliefs on children as nothing but sin that needs to be molded into the form that god designed) she is inherently sinful. Then Alessa is sexually assaulted by the Janitor, further defiling her in the eyes of this church. She is burnt not for the evil that was in her destiny, but rather because the churches beliefs had abused and destroyed a little girls sense of self. She was picked on at school, not because the kids hated her, but because their parents who attended church knew that the girl was born out of wedlock, so the kids believe what their parents believe and act on that. There was a very real community centered reason why Alessa was burnt, the evil that visited her was not the same evil that the church feared, but it came to represent itself that way.

[@shiyunkhoo8338]

I think it's about stigma. Alessa was treated like she was "contaminated", because she reminds people of something that they didn't want to think about or deal with. They wanted to "silence" her, hence silent hill. She was of course innocent - being born out of wedlock wasn't her choice, she did nothing wrong and there was nothing wrong with her. The bullying and the stigma led to her isolation, which led to her being unprotected and predated upon/assaulted, and this only added to the stigma she already suffers. They also completely failed to provide the support she needed after the traumas she has suffered. Society often cannot face its own failures and need to blame the victim, so they called her the "sinner", laying all the fault on her. She was powerless to fight back. They burned her to cleanse their own conscience of the fact that they caused something horrible to happen to an innocent person - burying the case ("silent hill"). The movie reflects the trauma, rage, and revenge of an innocent person severely let down by the society that she lives in. It also reflects the psychology of the abused and traumatized -- there is an innocent aspect of yourself that you try to preserve, and there is a dark side that desires revenge. It's a little bit like dissociation. The abused child who is silenced will often try to tell their story, "the truth" among all the lies that others say. Dark Alessa left clues for Rose to follow, telling her story, and eventually telling Rose what really happened from her perspective. The imagery of the film reflects the inner torture, the brokenness, horror and incredible pain and violence that the abused child feels. It is why the movie is so relatable -- this is exactly what happens in the real world to real people. People may not burn witches anymore, but stigma, bullying, silencing and shutting away the innocent happens with, as Rose said, "anything that [society is] afraid of, ... anything [they] cannot control".

If Alessa did not have a father there is a plausiblity of parthenogenesis. In extreamely rare instances the chromosome set can become diploid (46 instead of 23) with the extra chromosomes being mutated resulting in 2 distinct sets of DNA. High calcium levels can prepare the egg for cellular division with the mutated DNA performing as a catylist for cell division by fertilizing the egg; all with-out male DNA .

Her ability to to forgive Dalia for her gullibility (especially, through Dark Alessa) illustrates a well advanced and diplomatic persona.

This inner will-power can also be applied to life occurances also.

@@karinano1stan The story is very Jungian as it too provides a allegorical element of what can happen if the dark aspect of the psyche is suppressed. Alessa most likely suppressed hers out of fear of persecution.

[@sarikrana4215]

Big SH fan, loved the movie.

[@rambofan334]

Actually they believed she was a witch but it was still cruel to burn a little girl alive, people like that make me sick.

[@worseorbetter]

The janitors punishment is, in fact, a visual allegory. The first thing is the barbed wire (a perimiter which should'nt be crossed), the rape of Alessa violated that rule. The wire being wrapped around his eyes (being blind of concience). The inhibition of his legs by being tied to the back of his head forcing him to crawl on his groin exibited (the choice of immoral action). The futher decay of the walls with his hands (how dirty and violated Alessa felt due to her ordeal).

What happened to Alessa was cruel and tragic. A victum of an ignorant belief. For what had happened to the poor child I'm glad she achieved vengence.

[@worseorbetter]

Dark Alessa was the figure representing Alessa's feelings of hurt, anger, fear, anguish, ect...she's emotion personified which illicit reaction from Alessa through external stimuli. Analogy: without provocation someone verbally assualts you (Alessa) which, envokes hurt, injustice and anger (Dark Alessa) those emotions serve as a catylist for your reaction (Alessa). Also, Alessa had been hurt to such a degree that she did not always have control of her subsequent actions. Hope this helps :)

[@AllFiery]

How did people think Alessa was evil in the first place? What made them think? Were they like “Omg, that little girl is too nice, how very suspicious. She’s definitely a demon.”?

[@NitpickingNerd]

She had psychic powers . Thats also how she survived being burnt

Their is no limit to what religious fanatics will do to fight what they consider evil, the depth to which they won't sink. Their cruelty and religious fanaticism brought them to where they are now. All of the pain, hate and suffering that alessa felt is what caught the attention of a dark angel (demon). Hence the promise that everyone responsible will suffer for what they did to her.

[@marly100]

Actually, the reason why Alessa survived her burns in the original Silent HIll because of the God that was inside of her.

[@worseorbetter]

The good thing is that now Alessa has a second chance at life with the DaSilva's, vindicated from her fears and the prejudices' of others. Hopefully, she has gained adequate confidence to rejoin this world, if not, then that is understandable. If there is one thing I would like to tell Alessa, it is this,'in that other life you had no friends, but that is in the past, now you have an army of friends.'

[@GoldenToraToraChan]

[@worseorbetter]

I believe that Silent Hills' ending leaves the audience with many unanswered questions. Are they dead? Stuck in a parallel dimention? The latter makes the most sense to me, personally. Without that there would be nothing to base Silent Hill 3 off if a film adaptation is made; for, Alessa is Heather. I believe what causes frustration is our society is used to having absolution in rapid succession. Why write a letter when you can send an e-mail? Same message, only one arrives faster.

[@RedPyramid-lf4sb]

I myself am of the belief that Rose and Sharon Da Silva are still alive and trapped in the parallel dimension. The sequel to this movie is proof.

[@karinano1stan]

I feel so bad for Dahlia and Alessa :(

[@alentv5034]

This is such a good horror movie (and game).

[@worseorbetter]

True, the dispachment of the cultist during Alessa's retribution sequence, although graphic, it was rather quick and efficient when the alternatives are considered; she could have killed them in a slower, more sadistic method. However, the revenge itself and the method in which it was carried was opposite to Alessa's true benevolent nature. I found the death of Christabella to have a great symbolic significance.

[@jimmyrussels6631]

[@mutitsthonfpil5899]

very sad story - -.

[@worseorbetter]

Many people assume that the other girl is a demon or the devil; however, in interviews with dir. Christophe Gans, actor Jodelle Ferland and Silent Hills' creators at Kunami, the other girl (Dark Alessa) is a doppleganger (double walker). You see, Alessa went through such an abundance of trauma both physically and emotionally that her negative feelings had externalized and personified themselves into a seperate entity.

[@worseorbetter]

Alessa was being held on a circular rod iron grill that was suspended from the ceiling by 3 chains. The grill was placed about 2 feet above the cauldron itself.

[@worseorbetter]

Though, Roberto Campanella (janitor) and Alice Krige (Christabella) portray rather unlikeable characters in the film, they are really cool people in life. I agree.

[@worseorbetter]

On the account of Alessa's backstory the death sequences and character state subscribes to an eye for an eye motif, for they are quite symbolic to Alessa's own experiance. Barbed and razor wire are particuarly used with both Colin (janitor) and Christabella and her followers. The symbolism of barb wire, in conjunction with razor wire, is that of boundries of which are not to be crossed or violated.

[@worseorbetter]

Dark Alessa was not in the first game. However, a simular type of doppleganger was in the 3rd. 'Memory of Alessa' was Heather/Cheyrl's counterpart. An antagonist in SH3, Memory, not wanting the Orders' God re-born, attempts to kill Heather at the Lakeside Amusement park as Heather is now the vessal. Concerning this God, the feeling is mutual, but Memory was'nt taking any chances and decided Heathers' termination was the best option.

[@worseorbetter]

The nurses also represented Alessa's fear of hospitals and her mistrust of the medical staff. Also, in account as to why she was in the trauma unit (i.c.u) she had no capacity to trust anyone really.

[@LazurIs.]

What about Lisa Garland?

[@worseorbetter]

@@LazurIs. How well did Alessa know Lisa Garland? While Garland had good intentions as to her welfare, there was perhaps no establishment of repore. That takes time. Alessa's mental state was rock meet bottom then as she'd have her presuppositions on how to regard others, even if in error.

[@LazurIs.]

@@worseorbetter Firstly, Alessa lived with Lisa Garland for 7 years, during which time they were able to get to know each other better. Secondly, in the game "Silent Hill Play Novel" in her diary, Alessa left notes where she says that Lisa spends a lot of time with her and even gives her a birthday present. Thirdly, Lisa was Alessa's full-time carer, which means that they had a lot of time to get to know each other better.

[@worseorbetter]

@@LazurIs. A good point as they do build a mutually trust. The games do not totally coincide with the film adaptation. Dahlia's character is a good example of this. When did Alessa and Lisa 1st meet?

[@LazurIs.]

@@worseorbetter It is not known for certain, perhaps Alessa saw Lisa when she visited the hospital before the burning. (we know that the Dahlia beat Alessa, perhaps she went to the hospital for medical help). It can be confirmed that from the first day of Alessa's admission to the hospital, Lisa was one of the few who knew about her arrival.

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

[@worseorbetter]

Mary Sunderland was James wife. She fell ill under a terminal pathology and according to doctors had 3 years to live. Her pathology had also taken her beauty away. James smothered his wife with a pillow in a mercy homicide (however, this may have been a hallucinization) with his actual feelings of guilt stemming from not being at Marys' side in her final days. Maria is a sexualized manifastation created by James in memory of his wife, simular to Pyramidhead being an personification of his guilt.

[@worseorbetter]

Dark Alessa is the personification of the 'Id'; the most impulsive, irrational, unreasonable, self-centered part of the psyche.Yet, Dark Alessa displays none of those characteristics, even when referring to Dalia she demonstrated rationality, reason, understanding & diplomacy. The id is the least benevolent as morality ascends to greater levels in the ego and super ego. Because, of the high moral level in Dark Alessa, Alessa as a whole has the personality of a saint.

[@africangodgray8223]

Alessa has near-god powers. Changing reality in a practical hell is unimaginable power

[@worseorbetter]

@linon3000 Blatent nievety. After the incident with the school janitor Dalia thought that Christabella and her followers going to pray for Alessa's lost innocence; at least that was her perception. Alessa was far more apprehensive and questioning as to her aunts true motive.

[@worseorbetter]

Yes, Alessa was still able to think and feel dispite her soul being split 3 ways (ego:Alessa, id: Dark Alessa, superego: Sharon) Though, these aspects of her persona are seperate physically, they're still connected on a conscious and subconscious level.

[@lesliem3671]

[@worseorbetter]

Silent Hill trivia question: What date and time did Dark Alessa become a separate personage from Alessa Gillespie/ when was Dark Alessa born?

[@worseorbetter]

That does remind me of a friend who stated that when she was 22 she started having episodes with claustraphobia. This had'nt been an issue before or since. A visit to a past life transgressionalist revealed that she had died as a result of a mine cave-in in a previous life at the age of 22.

[@worseorbetter]

Dark Alessa is Alessa's negative emotions, ie: fear, pain, sadness, anger anthromorphized into a doppleganger.

[@worseorbetter]

Hell yeah, the movie is awesome and I recollect someone mentioning 'how can a horror based game have such beautiful music?' since the music in the movie was derived from the games.
