Characters Introduced in Silent Hill

Rose Da Silva

Played By: Radha Mitchell

The Hero of the film, Rose Da Silva goes to Silent Hill to solve what her daughter's connection to the doomed town is. She turned from a helpless woman to an Action Mom during the course of the film, willing to do anything to retrieve her daughter when she disappears, even making a questionable Deal with the Devil.

Action Mom: She is Sharon's adoptive mother, and by the end of the movie, has few qualms with stabbing a cult member that posed a threat to her daughter.
Anti-Hero: She's at least a Type III. Her demeanor and her driving motivations are maternal and loving, but when she sees what's happening and finds Dark Alessa hungering for vengeance, she does what she needs to do to make it happen.
Adaptation Name Change: Her counterpart in the games is named Jodie Mason.
Color-Coded for Your Convenience: She starts off in a blue dress and white jacket to represent her connection to the Virgin Mary and both eventually become blood-soaked enough to render the outfit completely red by the end of it.
Catchphrase: "SHARON!"
Distaff Counterpart / Gender Flip: The film was originally meant to feature the game's hero Harry Mason, but the director changed him to Rose due to Harry apparently being very feminine due to being afraid of the monsters and being concerned for his daughter.
Expy: Of the Virgin Mary. She has a "miraculous child" who can do all sorts of fantastic things and the scene where she carries Alessa into the church she was unable to enter is a clear metaphor for the Holy Spirit entering Mary.
Fright Deathtrap: Rose and Sharon are nearly killed in their SUV when Dark Alessa walks into the road.
Mama Bear: She has no tolerance for any threats on Sharon's life.
Meaningful Name: "Silva" is the Latin word for forest.
Pay Evil unto Evil: When Dark Alessa reveals exactly what went down in Silent Hill and what Sharon really is, Rose agrees to help her carry out her gruesome revenge on the cultists.
Pet the Dog: In between films, she gives Dahlia the necklace she wears with Sharon's picture in it, and Dahlia is still shown to have it when Sharon comes back to Silent Hill.
Took a Level in Badass: Perhaps justified, given that she spends most of the movie handcuffed or unarmed. Until the climax in the church, that is, when she helps Alessa invade the church and even kills a cult member herself.

Christopher Da Silva

Played By: Sean Bean

Rose's husband who is left behind when his wife and daughter run off to Silent Hill, and spends most of the film playing Sherlock trying to track down Sharon's origins and learns of her connection to Alessa Gillespie. He appears in the film's sequel, under the alias of Harry Mason.

Composite Character: Looks similar to James Sunderland and his motivation is to enter Silent Hill is to find his wife.
Canon Character All Along: While originally a Canon Immigrant, Christopher becomes the series' version of Harry Mason in the sequel after adopting the alias and role of Heather's surogate father (which make in turn would make Rose the series' equivalent of Jodie, Harry Mason's deceased wife from the first game)
Gentleman and a Scholar: Was a professional architect in the first film, and became a scholar of Silent Hill's history and hidden lore in the second, and is a genuinely nice and caring person.
Henpecked Husband: Rose seems a bit dominating over him.
Knight Templar Parent: His desire to find his wife and daughter leads to him getting physical with uncooperative nuns.
Spared by the Adaptation: Christopher does not share Harry Mason's fate in Silent Hill 3, instead becoming a Distressed Dude in the sequel. ^note

Cybil Bennett

Played By: Laurie Holden

A highway patrol cop from Brahams, Cybil pursues Rose and Sharon after realising they're heading to Silent Hill and ends up trapped in the foggy town with them, becoming Rose's Lancer. She sacrifices herself to the Cult to save Rose and is burnt to death.

Action Girl: Being a cop, Cybil is notably more athletic and competent in combat in comparison to the housewife Rose.
Badass Normal: Were the movie a game from its source material, Cybil would be the only cast member alive by the thirty-minute mark, even despite her Suicidal Pacifism noted below.
Cruel and Unusual Death: She is slowly and graphically burned to death as she is hoisted onto a pole, and then guided towards a bonfire until she is set aflame.
Fair Cop: She is a notably attractive short-haired woman who wears leather jeans and a cop uniform that exposes her forearms.
Foreshadowing: She holds off on firing her gun at the Armless Man until she sustains bad acid burns because of it, foreshadowing that her refusal to kill the cultists will get her badly burned later on.
Friend on the Force: She's noticeably out of her depth in Silent Hill, but her more grounded approach helps guide Rose who would otherwise be even worse off.
Heroic Sacrifice: Cybil sacrifices herself to the Cult to allow Rose to reach Alessa. She is later burnt to death by the cult.
Hold the Line: She holds off the cultists with nothing more than her nightstick long enough to send Rose on her way to the bottom of the hospital. She gets overwhelmed shortly after due to having run out of ammo for her service pistol.
I Want My Mommy!: As she is burning alive, she weakly says “Mother, be with me” before succumbing to the flames.
Kill It with Fire: How she meets her unfortunate end, by being burned alive by the cultists.
No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Suffers a particularly brutal one at the hands of the cultists after helping Rose escape at the hospital.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Not at first, as she makes the wrong assumption that Rose was essentially kidnapping her daughter Sharon, and doesn't take much notice of how off Silent Hill is when she apprehends and handcuffs the mother. Right after being attacked by a monster while Rose runs off to find her missing daughter, as well as seeing just how messed up Silent Hill is for herself, she wastes no time fixing her error in judgement by rescuing Rose in the school and removing her handcuffs.
Suicidal Pacifism: While more than willing to brawl with her nightstick, she's noticeably hesitant to fire her gun, even to defend herself. When confronted with a clearly inhuman monster staggering towards her, she tries to call it off until it actually spews acid on her, burning her jacket, before she fires and kills it. This foreshadows that the same pacifism leads to her death later on, when she could kill the cultists attacking her, but won't.
Vasquez Always Dies: The Brethren burn her to death before Rose can get back to the church with Dark Alessa.

Dahlia Gillespie

Played By: Deborah Kara Unger

Alessa's mother, Dahlia was convinced by Christabella to "purify" her daughter, leading to Alessa's burning. Dahlia is banished from the Cult after realising the error of her ways, now wandering Silent Hill as the only citizen to be unharmed by Alessa's monsters, and becomes quite frantic when Rose, Cybil and Sharon appear in town.

Adaptational Heroism: Her obsessive devotion to God and her villainous actions against her daughter are here given to Christabella.
The Atoner: She tries to protect Sharon when she realizes Christabella will find her and do the same thing she did to Alessa.
Cassandra Truth: She tries to warn Rose about the cult and Alessa, but fails.
The Exile: She is not allowed inside the church steps, wandering instead through the Fog World and its Otherworld shifts. It says a lot about both her and Alessa's lingering attachment to her that she's still alive to meet Rose.
Mama Bear: Her action to protect Sharon (whom she believes is Alessa) from The Brethren does count.
My God, What Have I Done?: Has this reaction after she sees what Christabella did to Alessa.
Redemption Quest: She essentially wants to get this, and achieves it by the end of the film.
Spared by the Adaptation: As a result of no longer being a villainous figure, she is spared.
White Sheep: She's the only member of her generation who isn't a murderous fanatic.
Wild Hair: Her exile has not been kind to her. She has experienced 30 years of the single day Rose went through, so this is to be expected.

Thomas Gucci

Officer Thomas Gucci

Played By: Kim Coates

A police officer who has a connection to Silent Hill, having rescued Alessa from the fire, who later escaped Silent Hill before Alessa turned it into hell. He accompanies Christopher to Silent Hill to look for Rose and Sharon.

Good Is Not Nice: He is more than a little brusque dealing with Chris, but that's because he knows that Silent Hill is bad news and that it's wiser not to poke around there.
Knight in Sour Armor: Dark Alessa cites him as a genuinely good person who wanted to help people, but we see in present day that it hasn't exactly made him easy to get along with.
Good Scars, Evil Scars: His gloves cover the burns he sustained when he rescued Alessa from the metal frame where she was burned.
The Reveal: Officer Gucci is revealed to be the one who saved Alessa from her burning.

Anna

Played By: Tanya Allen

A citizen of Silent Hill, Anna was born and raised on the Cult's lies and knows very little about the outside world or the town's own history, let alone the crimes the Cult performed on Alessa. Due to her upbringing, she possesses a very childlike demeanour. She hangs around with Rose and Cybil for a while, before being ripped apart by Pyramid Head outside the Cult's chapel.

Ambiguously Evil: One one hand, Anna is a member of the Cult that had inflicted horrific torture upon the alleged witch Alessa, is fiercely protective of their traditions, and harasses Dahlia, the mother of Alessa, for going against the Cult. On the other hand, Anna was born and raised in the corrupted Silent Hill, was raised to believe that Alessa was nothing but a monster that cursed the town, thus forcing the inhabitants to hide in the church before they are killed in the Otherworld. There's also how Anna tries to help Rose and Cybil find the church to escape the 'darkness', where she could have easily left them behind.
Composite Character: Shares some personality and character traits of Angela Orosco from Silent Hill 2, even exchanging a knife with the main character in both.
Cruel and Unusual Death: She has her skin ripped — yes, ripped — from her body. All at once.
Fatal Flaw: Her hatred of Dahlia, who goes against the Cult and their traditions. Instead of getting in the church, Anna is distracted by Dahlia's taunts, giving Pyramid Head ample time to materialize behind her and kill Anna.
Flaying Alive: How Pyramid Head kills her.
I Want My Mommy!: Anna cries out for her mom as Pyramid Head ascends the church steps while carrying her by the neck.
Manchild: Or rather Womanchild. Is about thirty, but acts very childlike, talks slowly and is a stereotypical schoolyard bully to Dahlia.
Neck Lift: On the receiving end of one by Pyramid Head.
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Anna willingly leaves sanctuary to find food for her ailing mother, despite knowing the dangers of venturing Silent Hill on her own. She also prompts Rose and Cybil, complete strangers, to hide in the church from the Otherworld. She is then brutally killed before she is able to get inside the church in time.
Tagalong Kid: Despite being thirty years old.
We Hardly Knew You: Appears only half-way in the story to give exposition to Rose and Cybil of Silent Hill's history, and give them the location of the church where the Cult hides in, before being killed by Pyramid Head.

Christabella

Played By: Alice Krige

The leader of the Cult of Silent Hill, Christabella is a monster to say the least, leading the crazy cult members to burn Alessa at the stake. Now twice as mad and manipulative, Christabella has fooled the condemned cult members that Alessa is a demon, and the only way to survive is to burn people at the stake. She and the rest of the Cult are the targets of Alessa's justified revenge and meet their well-deserved ends in the bloody climax of the film when Rose allows Alessa to enter the chapel and slice and dice Christabella and co. with barbed wire tentacles.

Big Bad: Gradually revealed to have caused all the misfortune of everyone involved.
Black-and-White Insanity: Christabella and her cultists see the world in black and white, refusing to understand how horrible their own deeds are or that the hellish state of the world they live in is their own fault.
Burn the Witch!: Her modus operandi.
Cruel and Unusual Death: Christabella is killed by Alessa's barbed wire tentacles which suspend her in midair, enter her body vaginally and anally, exit through her mouth and chest, and rip her in two.
Decomposite Character: The film removes the evil and fanaticism of the video game version of Dahlia and gives it to Christabella, who doesn't exist in the game.
Evil Redhead: She's the Big Bad of the first film and has auburn hair.
Faux Affably Evil: Her serene demeanour is only a mask. She's actually a sociopathic fundamentalist.
The Fundamentalist: She leads the group of fanatics in Silent Hill.
Held Gaze: Type 3. She's frozen in horror when Alessa's Otherworld invades her church, and the first thing the latter does is lock eyes with her. The expression on her face makes it very clear that she knows damnation has finally come for her.
Hypocrite: Christabella thinks that burning women that she believes are witches will avert the end of the world. Not only is this ironically what got her and her followers in their predicament in the first place, but if she was even familiar with scripture, she'd understand that the Apocalypse is God's will. Where the hypocrisy comes in is that she has the nerve to call other people heretics.
Icy Blue Eyes: Alice Krige wore contact lenses to obtain this effect. They highlight her cold, unforgiving nature.
Insane Troll Logic: She's managed to convince the cult she leads that Alessa is a 'demon' and that to stay safe from the apocalypse, they have to burn threats to their faith. A person with an accurate recall would easily come to the conclusion that, since said apocalypse happened because a little girl was burned, something is not right with that picture.
Karmic Death: Christabella and her cult followers are massacred by the little girl they burnt thirty years ago. She also enabled the massacre by stabbing Rose in the chest, thus allowing Alessa's Darkness to seep into the church through her blood.
Knight Templar: Ready to go to any length to uphold God's law.
Lack of Empathy: As shown by her treatment of Alessa. It also extends to the people who follows her, such as "comforting" a grieving Eleanor that her daughter Anna has no one but herself to blame for her horrific death outside the church doors.
Obliviously Evil: Subverted. On the surface, she doesn't realize that she's a villain, instead fancying herself and her cult as being good and "pure" servants of God. However, Dark Alessa and later Rose call her out on knowing deep inside that she and her cult are evil and have damned themselves.
Principles Zealot: Upholding Purity at any cost.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Is quite reasonable and even kind to anyone she thinks isn't connected to Alessa. She calms down the cult when they blame Rose and Cybil for Anna's death and points out that Anna's death is no one's fault but her own. She even helps the two women get to the hospital, and gives Rose the advice to memorize the map, which later helps her greatly. It's when she discovers that Rose's child is Alessa reborn that she turns on her.
Religion of Evil: Her cult is Manichaean to the extreme, lacking any trace of forgiveness or compassion for anyone who is seen as impure.
Sinister Minister: She wears garments and leads the prayers during ceremonies.
Smug Smiler: She often shows a complacent smile, especially as she's burning people.
Undignified Death: She begs God to "give her the strength to keep [herself] pure." God's not listening, and Alessa barbed-wire rapes her to death.

Alessa Gillespie

Played By: Jodelle Ferland (child) Lorry Ayers (adult)

The Apocalypse Maiden and major Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds, Alessa was nine years old when the Cult accused her of being a witch or a demon and had her burnt at the stake. She survived thanks to the sacrifice being botched, and the arrival of her mother and Officer Gucci. Now a vengeance-seeking Little Miss Badass, Alessa has trapped the Cult members in a nightmarish version of the town and split herself into two different other forms: Dark Alessa, her evil side, and Sharon Da Silva, her good side. She lures her good side to Silent Hill to get her revenge.

Ambiguously Absent Parent: Alessa's father is completely unknown, and Christabella suspects that her mother Dahilia had her out of wedlock. (Of course, this being Silent Hill and Alessa's strange nature, it's possible that it was Mystical Pregnancy instead).
Apocalypse Maiden: In the game, the Fog World, Otherworld, and all the other horrific things in Silent Hill are the work of a primordial evil that's inhabited the town for ages (and which Alessa crossed paths with). In this film, Alessa is the source of these things herself, having created them through her psychic powers amplified by hatred.
Being Tortured Makes You Evil: Or rather, being burned alive does.
Blessed with Suck: She is subtly implied to have the same psychic powers that were explicit in the video game, and these are implied to have manifested because of the torment her fellow children inflicted on her thanks to her being an apparent child out of wedlock. Unfortunately, this made the bullying even worse, and drew the eye of Christabella, who wanted to Burn the Witch!
Body Horror: The damage done to her burnt body is gruesome.
Break the Cutie: She was broken, and everyone paid for it.
Combat Tentacles: Made of barbed wire.
Creepy Child: Subverted. The Alessa we see in the hospital basement's flashback is as sweet as any little girl should be. But when she fell into the hands of a vicious cult, the results were unsettling.
Dark and Troubled Past: She was abused by her schoolmates, raped by the school janitor, and then burnt alive by the town's crazy cult of witch hunters.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Thanks to being a victim manipulated by Christabella instead of an outright villain, Dahlia, Alessa's mother, is spared from her vengeance.
Eyes Are Unbreakable: Her eyes are the only part of her not burned beyond use, although they still show signs of heat damage. Notably, while Dark Alessa is totally dead behind the eyes, Alessa's eyes are very expressive.
Fusion Dance: Alessa is reborn when Sharon and Dark Alessa are reunited. It turns out not quite the entire personality came together as Sharon has to give the part of Alessa still stuck in Silent Hill a Cooldown Hug in the second film before absorbing her back into herself.
Kick the Dog: A variant that only manages to show how badly she was broken. The Red Nurse's eyes have been burned out because she made eye contact with Alessa, who was steeped in hate, when her only crime was peeking into the ward of her unknown charge. Dark Alessa admits that she did not deserve this.
Psychic Powers: She is implied to have them, via her backstory and revealing that she is the source of the Otherworld.
Psychotic Smirk/Slasher Smile: When she locks eyes with Christabella in the finale, she gives a small smile. It's more unnerving than if she'd bared her teeth and split her cheeks. She does it again after she saves Rose from a cultist by pulverizing him with her barbed wire.
Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: As a child, which she shares with Sharon.
Reality Warper: Alessa can change reality to match her tormented psyche.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: But without the roaring. The awful things happening in Silent Hill are her attempts to get revenge on the Brethren who burned her, and she personally succeeds in the end.
Room Full of Crazy: Alessa's hospital room.
Truly Single Parent: Apparently created Sharon, her good counterpart 'daughter' entirely on her own.
The Speechless: After being burned, she doesn't speak a word.
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: This poor, poor girl. Mistaken for a witch and tormented for it by her classmates simply because her father was unknown, raped by the school janitor, reluctantly turned over to the cult by her own mother to be burned alive, all of which lead to her growing spiteful of everyone around her and making a pact with a Satanic Archetype to get bloody revenge on the cult responsible for her state.

Sharon Da Silva

Played By: Jodelle Ferland (child) and Adelaide Clemens (teenager)

The adoptive daughter of Rose and Christopher, Sharon is actually the good side of Alessa. Her strange dreams lead her and Rose to Silent Hill, Sharon disappearing and leading Rose on a wild goose chase around the town of shifting horrors. The Cult try to burn her at the stake, but Rose arrives and has Alessa kill all of them, but Dark Alessa bonds with Sharon, re-creating Alessa. In the second film, now grown into a teenager, it's up to Sharon to save her father from Silent Hill after he's kidnapped by cultists.

All Just a Dream: Rose tries to convince Sharon that everything is just a bad dream. And this after she's been tied up, watched a police officer get burnt alive, and seen all the cult followers getting massacred by her true self.
Break the Cutie: What she goes through is understandably traumatizing.
Creepy Child: She doesn't mean to be but she does do things like draw over happy pictures with disturbing imagery like the cult burning and also sleepwalks while talking about Silent Hill. It's played more straight when she and Dark Alessa merge, turning Sharon into a much more eerie child.
Damsel in Distress: Saving her is the entire point of Rose's quest in the film.
Doorstop Baby: She was left on the doorstep of Toluca Lake Orphanage by Dark Alessa.
Dreaming of Things to Come: In the second film, she has prophetic dreams that freak her out greatly, especially when they start to come true.
Embodiment of Virtue: Is stated to be literally to be all that's left of Alessa's goodness.
Happily Adopted: Rose and Chris being relatively decent parents, she's this.
Helpless Good Side: Alessa wanted to watch the world burn, but this conflicted too much with the remaining good inside her, so Dark Alessa sent her away. While she's as pure as snow, she also lacks any physical ability to save herself (being a little girl) or the psychic powers of her original self. This changes at the end of the film after Dark Alessa and Sharon merge into one being.
Kill It with Fire: When cornered by a bunch of cultists in the second film, she lights the whole ring of them on fire with her mind.
Laser-Guided Amnesia: Given all the trauma she went through, it's no wonder she doesn't remember much of what happened to her as a little girl by the time she's a teenager. She starts to remember more as the movie goes on
Madness Mantra: "Silent Hill!"
Nightmare Fuel Coloring Book: Sharon's drawings depict her nightmarish memories of Silent Hill.
Power Incontinence: In the second film, while she has some of Alessa's powers, she can't control them very well and they mostly just activate when she's scared or stressed. This changes after she absorbs Alessa, which gives her the ability to now control all of her powers.
Took a Level in Badass: While in the first film she's just an innocent and helpless little girl, in the second film she's actively going into the Fog World to find her father. This is doubled when she absorbs the last bit of Alessa back into her and now has perfect control over her powers plus a newfound confidence in how to destroy the cultists.

Dark Alessa

Played By: Jodelle Ferland

The dark side of Alessa, Dark Alessa is a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl and a Creepy Child, and she knows it. She represents Alessa's anger and desires to have revenge on the Cult. She can manipulate the monsters in Silent Hill, and lures Rose around the town until she reaches Alessa's bedroom in the hospital. When Alessa's revenge finally comes, Dark Alessa relishes in the gore. She later bonds with Sharon to create a new Alessa.

Blood Lust: She wishes to dance in the blood of the cult members, which she gets to do in the film's climax.
Creepy Child: Jodelle Ferland's portrayal of her would become iconic because of this.
Creepy Monotone: Her tone of voice is very muted and monotone, albeit still the voice of a little girl. She speaks slowly, rather like an adult trying to hold back rage, however.
Embodiment of Vice: Is the vengeful side of Alessa manifest.
Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: If Sharon looks like the child of Dahlia from thirty years ago, Dark Alessa looks like the child of Dahlia from present day: shaggy, wild black hair that looks like ink streaks over porcelain white skin.
I Have Many Names: Outright says this to Rose.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: This is her entire reason for existing.
Satanic Archetype: A twist on this. Christabella's cult brands her as the standard version, but Dark Alessa is more of a play on the Eastern perception of the Devil, which comes from within the self.
Slasher Smile: An understated one as she's got very dead eyes.

Red Nurse

An innocent nurse who cared for Alessa after she was burnt. She took a look at Alessa's burnt body and was unintentionally punished by Alessa's wrath, now forced to bleed from her face constantly. Alessa has since come to regret punishing her.

Abandoned Hospital: Where she is trapped.
The Cameo: Although not named as such, she's basically Lisa Garland.
Eye Scream: Her eyes were burned out after she saw Alessa, and they constantly bleed.
Facial Horror: It's mostly her eyes, but there's a lot of blood and she won't turn to look at anyone.
Hospital Hottie: Was quite attractive, at least before Alessa cursed her.
Innocent Bystander: She attends the bed of Alessa in the basement of the hospital, trapped but relatively unharmed in the 30 years she's been there.
Nose Bleed: Also an eye bleed, ear bleed, head bleed, and full facial bleed.
Older Than They Look: Barring her disfigurement that makes up her entire presence in the film, she looks no different than how she did 30 years prior, when she should be roughly in her 50s. An alternative interpretation could be that she's not really there, and is a projection by Alessa to remind herself not to hurt the innocent.

Monsters

Armless Man

Armless Man (Lying Figure)

One of the several monsters in the film, the Armless Man (or Men) is a featureless humanoid thing with its arms wrapped into its ribcage, making it walk about like someone in a straitjacket. It attacks Rose and Cybil, shooting acid at them. It's based on the Lying Figure monster from Silent Hill 2.

Body Horror: It essentially appears the same as the straight-jacketed figure from Silent Hill 2, except that the straightjacket is its own ribcage.
Hollywood Acid: It takes out Cybil's police helmet, jacket, and shades.
Not a Zombie: Just look at this guy, and you can instantly question why Cybil would even bother trying to talk sense to it or expect it to obey a police officer.

Grey Children

An army of wailing, burnt, deformed children that approach Rose during the first time the town shifts into the Otherworld. They are Alessa's memories of her classmates, who bullied and harassed her in school.

Absurdly Sharp Claws: Are equipped with long nails.
Body Horror: Their skin and facial features are twisted around so their faces are on the sides of their heads.
Creepy Child: They're a bunch of twisted, burnt children who attack anyone they see. This is a given.

Nurses

Rose encounters an army of twenty odd undead nurses, wrapped in bandages and brandishing weapons. They respond to light and end up attacking each other when Rose sneaks her way through the group to Alessa's hospital room.

Battleaxe Nurse: They're evil nurses who attack people.
Enemy Civil War: When a nurse tries to attack Rose, she ducks, causing it to slit another nurse's throat. This leads to the nurses all attacking each other in a bloody frenzy while Rose carefully navigates between them.
Gate Guardian: They populate the hospital's basement and prevent interlopers from getting too close to Alessa.
Marionette Motion: Their joints don't appear to work right.
Naughty Nurse Outfit: Much like their counterparts in the games, they wear nurse uniforms with low-cut blouses.
The Blank: All their faces are gone.

Colin

Colin the Janitor

Colin the Janitor was the caretaker of the school Alessa went to. It is implied that he rapes her. He pays dearly, his corpse being found by Rose, strung up in a toilet cubicle by barbed wire. It gets worse when his body comes to life and starts crawling across the floor towards Rose.

Asshole Victim: It's all but stated later on that he raped Alessa. Nobody's gonna cry for this guy or blame her for granting him a gruesome death.
Body Horror: Colin is strung up in barbed wire and when his corpse springs to life, we see his legs have been bound to the back of his head, more barbed wire is going into his eyes, and he is forced to crawl about using his hands only.
Bound and Gagged: The first part anyway, his black tongue often dangles out of his mouth.
Canon Foreigner: Colin is the only monster that’s exclusive to the film.
Chained to a Rock: Or chained to a toilet cubicle, and his legs to his head.
Cruel and Unusual Death: It's unknown what exactly happened to him, but from the position of his corpse, it looks like it was horrible. And given that he raped Alessa, it was well-deserved.
Overly-Long Tongue: He's got a very creepy, unnaturally long tongue when his corpse comes to life.
Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: It's fitting that a child molester would earn such a brutal death.
Room Full of Crazy: He died in a toilet cubicle where everything is wrapped in barbed wire and words across the wall read "Dare You! Double Dare You!"
Walking Wasteland: Colin rots away anything he touches, as well as summon Creeper insects.

Pyramid Head

Pyramid Head/Red Pyramid

The iconic pyramid-helmet wearing executioner-like monster and the most threatening of the monsters seen in the film (the non-human monsters anyway). He appears twice, but he leaves quite an impression, killing poor Anna outside the chapel.

Adaptational Curves: A lot more muscular compared to his original, thinner counterpart.
BFS: The Great Knife that he carries around with him.
Blind Justice: Like everything else Otherworld-related in the film, he's essentially a manifestation of Alessa's desire for vengeance on the Brethren. Unfortunately, that massive helmet causes problems, so he nearly ends up killing Rose and Cybil, who are bystanders.
Cool Helmet: It's a lot more... metal than the one in Silent Hill 2.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: He tries to do this to Rose and Cybil.
Implacable Man: Impossible to stop by any means.
Vader Breath: He makes some heavy breathing noises in his appearances.
You Don't Look Like You: While still recognizable, his design was changed greatly compared to his original game. His helmet is a black and girded hexagon, 6-sided version instead of the 7-sided one in the game, and appears much more sharp (claimed by Word of God to be a choice to make it easier for the actor to wear). He wears no gloves, showing normal hands as opposed to fused palms. While his original counterpart walked around in a jerky, pained fashion, here his posture is much more confident. While he still drags his massive knife around, he does not strain nearly as much to do so. This newer design would later be used for his Silent Hill: Homecoming incarnation. Ironically, the design of his knife in Revelations is changed to look like an oversized combat knife like in Homecoming.
