You don't necessarily have to play the games to get the movie, but they do help get you used to the complexity of the story!. To answer your questions!.!.!.
Chris (the father) and Officer Gucci (the cop) don't experience what Rose does because they are in two different but parallel dimensions!. Chris and Officer Gucci are in the real world and Rose, Cybil, Sharon and the cultists are in Alessa's alternate dimension!. That's why they can be in the same place at the same time and not see each other (e!.g!. - When Rose runs past Chris and he smells her perfume, and in the end when Rose makes it "home" and Chris can't see her)!.
To explain the rest of it, here's my take on the movie:
Contrary to popular belief, Rose and "Sharon" are not dead at the end!. Rose and her husband can't see each other because they're still in Alessa's alternate dimension, while Chris is in the real world!. Here's the deal!.!.!.
There are three different dimensions in the movie:
- The real world: What we see up until the car crash outside of Silent Hill; the dimension that Chris and Officer Gucci are in
- Foggy Silent Hill: A dimension resembling Purgatory; a place of imprisonment for the cultists and a place of refuge from the real world for Alessa
- Dark Silent Hill: A dimension resembling Hell; a place of punishment for the cultists inhabited by monsters, a representation of Alessa's revenge
**Note - Foggy Silent Hill and Dark Silent Hill are not actually Purgatory and Hell!. They're only Alessa's versions of them!.
And there are three parts of Alessa:
- Alessa (the burned girl/woman in the oxygen tent)
- Sharon (Alessa's good side)
- Dark Alessa (Alessa's evil side)
Sharon and Dark Alessa are basically manifestations of the two sides of Alessa - the good side and the evil side!. As for how Alessa created these manifestations and the alternate dimensions (foggy Silent Hill and dark Silent Hill, aka - The Otherworld), it can only be assumed that she possessed some kind of supernatural power (as evidenced by the wilted flowers in her hospital room and her hurting the nurse)!. This, in addition to the fact that she had no father, would obviously lead everyone associated with the cult to call her a witch!. This power was amplified by her growing hate as she suffered in the hospital after being nearly burned to death by the cult!. That being the case, this is what happened:
1) Dark Alessa does not, in fact, take over or possess Sharon at the church near the end!. Dark Alessa (the evil side) simply recombines with Sharon (the good side), creating a new and complete "reincarnation" of Alessa!.
2) Alessa's "pact" with her evil counterpart that we saw in the flashback not only ensures that she will help her exact her revenge, but that Alessa, after making herself "whole" again, will also have a second chance at life with a new (and surely in her eyes, better) mother: Rose!.
3) And as for the ending:
Alessa's plan works - she gets her much deserved revenge on the cultists, Dark Alessa and Sharon recombine and create a newly "reborn" Alessa, and she ends up with Rose (who either isn't aware or just doesn't care that this little girl isn't "her Sharon" anymore) as her new mother!. Now with Sharon's memories of the outside world to work with after reuniting her two halves, Alessa can extend her alternate dimension and create a world just like the one Sharon and Rose lived in, where they can stay forever!. In other words, Alessa doesn't want them to leave her alternate dimension and in her eyes, for good reason!. The real world is where Alessa was hurt, abused and humiliated!. In the real world, she felt unsafe, unloved and that the people are untrustworthy (especially men, considering that the absence of her father was the source of her torment, in addition to her horrific experience with the school janitor)!. Alessa wants to live out the rest of her new life with her new loving mommy in her alternate dimension, where she's in control and she feels safe!. Unfortunately for Rose, this end result means that she is essentially trapped in Alessa's alternate dimension indefinitely!.

The world switched into different dimensions due to the influence of the demon girl you see later in the movie, who resembled the woman's daughter!. This demon girl had a special interest in the daughter and was trying to lure her over to where the demon girl existed!. The demon girl only really existed in the "other" world, which was dark and scary!. Playing the video game does help you understand the atmosphere of Silent Hill a bit better!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
The father doesn't experience it because when the wife and child went to the town, they "croosed over" to a paralell world!. the road wasn't cut off in the paralell world, And they could be in the same house in different worlds and not see each other!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
yes there is another parallel dimension into which they crossed over when the sirens went off and everything changed !.!.!.you should play the game!.!.its a GREAT game and does help explain some things !.!.!.cant wait for the next movie!!Www@Enter-QA@Com
