Now this may catch you off guard as a "that defies everything I would expect out of reality" statement, but I too have seen Jacob's Ladder, and I'll say it has nothing to do with the electricity demonstration.
Messed up, and when the deleted scenes are taken into account it really sets itself up for a subtitle like "Silent Hill 0". Odd that the ONE person thrown into a hellish nightmare world who actually happens to BE a fighter doesn't do jack to try and defeat these things, but then again there's also the difference of it being in a highly populated "normal world".
That does bring up an idea for Silent Hill 5. What if it, instead of taking place in an abandoned town, took place years ago when Silent Hill was still occupied and the hell first began? One man must slowly lose their mind surrounded by sane people who don't see a single bit of what he sees, or something else that appeals to that "I know the truth, they's out to gets us" fantasy in all of us. Behave normally in the real world but sometimes not be sure, but if you attack the wrong "thing" you get thrown in the looney bin as the town burns.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
