Silent Hill? Don't look if you haven't seen it

Well thank you guys it's starting to make more sense. That the mother and the DAUGHTER were dead. BUT, then, is the little girl possessed while she's dead?
WHy does she give Alessa's mother that creepy look when they leave the church to go "home?"
HOw do they leave Silent Hill if they're dead?
The whole purgatory, makes perfect sense, but the father and the police officer to go to Silent Hill, so the canyon doesn't mix with the story.
I'm getting a better understanding, but only more questions are raise! ROFL

A Bit Long...
The way I understood it:
The little girl is PART of the weird lady strapped to the board; she's the "good" part, while the woman is the "evil" part. 2 parts of a whole, so to speak.
Silent Hill had a nasty tradition of killing "witches" or anyone else they considered an outcast, by this weird cult led by the elegant-looking woman. Because Alessa (the little girl) didn't have a father, they decided she was the daughter of the devil and had to be burned in order to purify the town, keep their "innocence" and keep away Armaggeddon. She was rescued at the very end, but ended up in the hospital. There, the Devil, or something like him, appeared to a very, very angry Alessa and made a deal with her - to take her to Hell, where she would be protected forever, and in exchange, to plunge the town in a nightmare world, and she agreed. (The devil/demon mirrored Alessa's appearance, but as a...darker image.)
Now, since I'm sure everyone is familiar with the supernatural and ideas that sometimes, maybe, there's another world that sometimes is more real than this one.
I think that's the premise behind this story - sometimes, Hell literally does come to earth, but only for a certain amount of time. Silent Hill, as a town, is dead. VERY dead, in OUR reality. That foggy town, is this OTHER reality that Alessa and the demon put the town in. Anyone that is touched by this, can't ever escape.
Since the people of THAT reality can't see the people of THIS reality, the little girl and her adoptive mother can't see the husband, and vice versa. They're still trapped in that OTHER that is Silent Hill, they apparently just don't realize it. That's why the movie ended with them in that twilight lighting, and at the same time, her husband's in a perfectly sunny day. They are actually in the same place at the same time, but in different realities.
At least that's the way I understood the movie!

The first part is CLOSE... I think Alessa *started* it by causing that mining explosion which is what caused the town to go up. Remember, there *were* survivors - that snotty cop who wouldn't let Alessa's adoptive dad into the town, was a resident of the town at the time. he was about the same age as Alessa was when she was caught by the cult.
YUP I'm sure there will be sequels.
I'm also sure that the people who were hiding out in Silent Hill were also ALIVE - remember, Alessa's first mother became old and raggedy with the passage of time. that old woman who was hiding the little girl who *was* alive? That was Alessa's mom. And she was obviously NOT old when she first had Alessa.
Some of the others there who looked to be around childbearing age, lost their daughters also, and got caught in the hellish reality.
SO, the people who were originally in the cult, did survive the mining explosion and grew older with time. They were finally killed at the end, with the barbed wire scene.
