For those who dont know about Silent Hill, I am providing a breakdown of everythin that happens in all the games and the movie.
Silent Hill movie
Sharon (Jodelle Ferland) is a little girl who sleepwalks and has seizures; lately they've been getting worse. She keeps mentioning the same thing in her trances: Silent Hill. Over the protests of her husband (Sean Bean), Rose (Radha Mitchell) flees with her child. She ends up driving through a "portal in reality", which takes her to the eerie and deserted town of Silent Hill. Sharon disappears in Silent Hill, and Rose follows what she thinks is her daughter's silhouette all over town. It's soon clear the town is not like any place she's ever been. It's inhabited by a variety of creatures and a living darkness that descends and literally transforms everything it touches. The human inhabitants - the ones who are left - are trapped and fighting a losing battle against the Darkness. Joined by a cop named Cybil (Laurie Holden), who was pulled in with her, Rose searches for her little girl while learning the history of Silent Hill, and that Sharon is just a pawn in a larger game. To save her daughter, Rose makes a deal with a demon in the form of a little girl. But will the deal save her daughter, or only damn them both? Rose, after reaching the basement in the hospital (where the demon in control of the dark otherworld of Silent Hill dwells), finds out that the demon is actually a manifestation of Alessa's desire for justice and revenge. Before the town was abandoned, the people seen earlier in the church were a cult-like group of religious fanatics that burned people they considered to be witches. They burned Alessa, but did not manage to kill her; before they could, the cult accidently set the coal below on fire, and the police arrived, sending Alessa to the town hospital. The demon explains to Rose that it can not punish the fanatics because their "blind devotion" in their beliefs protects them. In order to rescue her adopted daughter (who is the daughter of Alessa), she offers to take the demon into the church. Rose goes into the church, in time to save her daughter, but not in time to save Sybil, the police officer, from being burned. After the Church leader stabs Rose, the demon heals Rose, enters the church, and kills all the fanatics. Rose leaves Silent Hill with her daughter, using her car (which now seems to work). Rose is still in the foggy world at the end, and her husband can't see her.

Silent Hill (the first game)
Harry Mason and his daughter Cheryl are approaching Silent Hill, a small
resort lakeside town, at night. Car trouble has pushed them behind schedule.
While Harry drives, a female police officer drives passed him on her
motorcycle. Seconds later, he sees the motorcycle on the side of the road,
abandoned, with the driver nowhere to be seen. Seconds later, he sees a woman
crossing the road and swerves the car, going off the road and unexpectedly
through a fence into a section of the town. He is knocked out for pretty much
the rest of the night, and wakes up in the morning. It's foggy, and it's
snowing out of season. Cheryl is gone. Upon exiting his car, he sees a shadow
of Cheryl in the distance, and gives chase.
Harry follows Cheryl's outline up a small alley, and into a back area
past some gates and such. As he goes, it gets increasingly dark until
he has to light his lighter to see. With just the slight illumination,
he sees increasingly disturbing scenes, as he passes an empty wheel chair, a
gurney, and larger and larger puddles of blood. The fences go from normal to
barbed wire with bits of bodies and blood hanging from them. Finally he comes
to a dead end, and as he turns around he is attacked and brought to the
floor...
Harry awakes on a cushioned seat in a diner. He is not alone; the
police officer from the road is there too. She introduces herself as
Cybil, and asks if he knows what's going on. He replies, of course, no, and
that he's looking for his daughter. Cybil hasn't seen Cheryl, and she says so.
Harry then leaves to look for his daughter, but not before Cybil warns him of
the dangers (unexplained dangers) and gives him a 9mm Beretta. She warns him
not to shoot her by accident (important later).
Returning to the alleyway, the area leading to the bloody mess is
blocked off by a wall, but on the floor are pages from Cheryl's
sketchbook that Harry bought her for a present. On the front of the
book is a scribbled drawing of Harry, and on a page in large, red ink is
written "gone to School." Checking a map he found in the cafe, Harry locates
Midwich Elementary, a school in his vicinity. Attempting to head there, Harry
notices that the path to the school is blocked due to a cave in in the road.
He finds more notes from Cheryl, and after a
goose hunt, he finds a path through a house which bypasses the chasms.
As he approaches, the school, the town gets dark once again, but a
flashlight that he found in the cafe aids his progress to the school.
In Midwich, the place is deserted, with Cheryl nowhere to be found.
Harry, to advance, solves several puzzles related to time, birds, a chemical
and a boiler room. After solving all those puzzles, Harry goes
into the school's clock tower and ends up... back in the school courtyard,
where he entered the clock tower. In awe, he discovers that
the place is a mess hall like the alleyway. Still eager to find Cheryl,
he does some more exploring. In one room Harry finds an open book about
teenage girls and poltergeist activity (important, read above). After
some unpleasant adventures, Harry makes his way to the basement and
clears up apparently the source of evil in the school. After clearing
up the school, while still in the darkened basement, Harry is visited by a
shade of the girl he swerved away from in the road. With Cheryl
nowhere to be found, Harry seems dumbfounded by the girl. After a few
moments, she disappears, and Harry moves up to the 1st floor again.
Here he hears the ringing of church-bells, and not one to be
superstitious, Harry locates and visits the Balkan Church.
At the church, Harry sees an old lady, who clues him to go to the
hospital, after leaving him with a pyramid-shaped relic, Flauros. Harry
unlocks the bridge to Central Silent Hill. Before heading to the
hospital, Harry stops by the SHPD where they speak of some
hallucinogenic drugs titled White Claudia. There may be a large market
for them in Silent Hill. In the hospital, Harry meets a wary doctor,
Michael Kaufmann, and after a tacky meeting, tell of their current
situations. Kaufmann doesn't know what happened in Silent Hill and he
hasn't seen Cheryl. Kaufmann takes his leave, making Harry search the
entire hospital.
The hospital is devoid of any life except for cockroaches in the
basement. In the director's room, he uses a bottle to scoop up some
curious-looking red liquid. The rest of the room has been ransacked, and it
appears as if the liquid was the object of the search. A search of the upper
floors is impossible due to locked up doors. As Harry returns to the elevator,
a mysterious fourth floor appears!!! Harry has no choice but to take it, and
he ends up in a bloody mess hall like the
elementary school and the alleyway. As in the school, Harry goes through
fruitless searching of the upper floors. Harry finds his way into a secret
basement beneath the hospital, where he finds a room that
belonged to a girl named "Alessa." Alessa is the girl he saw vanish at
the school, and the one he nearly hit in the road. The room contains a
stretcher-bed, a picture of her, and some pills. Another fruitless
search leads him back to the evil, bloody version of the hospital, in
the room he met Kaufmann in. He meets a startled nurse named Lisa
Garland. Harry questions about the situation, his daughter and the
basement, but as with Cybil and Kaufmann, Lisa doesn't know a thing.
Suddenly, a migraine takes over Harry, and he blacks out, waking up in
the same room, the hospital being "normal" again and the town being in
daylight. Dahlia Gillespie, the woman from the church is there, and
clues him to go to the "other church" of the town. With an antique shop
key left behind, Harry takes it and goes searching for the other church.
Using a phonebook at the hospital, Harry finds it. Inside, after finding a
hidden, mysterious tunnel, Cybil shows up, unable to find a way off town.
Cybil says to Harry that she saw Cheryl cross a chasm over toward the lake.
Surprising Harry, Harry lets Cybil know of Dahlia and Lisa, and the bloody
otherworld he keeps getting into. Cybil wonders what the hell he's talking
about. Harry explores the secret tunnel alone, and ends up in an altar room,
the other church. Before he can let Cybil know of his findings, Harry sees an
altar flare up. Cybil checks it out, but she sees Harry gone...
Harry wakes up in the demonic hospital with Lisa. Harry asks Lisa about
Dahlia, and Lisa clues him in on the awful occurrence with her kid seven years
ago and of a weird cult in Silent Hill. After Lisa ends her
lecture, Harry wakes up in the antique shop again... only it's in the
bloody mess like the school and the hospital. Harry remembers what Cybil said
about Cheryl, but with the chasm blocking the road, Harry decides to ask Lisa
about another way to get to the lake. With the main road to the hospital
blocked in the evil Silent Hill, Harry takes a roundabout route back to the
hospital through a mall. After getting back to Lisa, she tells Harry that he
can get to the lake via the sewers beside the Midwich Elementary School. Harry
asks Lisa to go with him, but Lisa knows she can't leave the hospital
(important). Harry sets out for the sewers by the school, and eventually gets
there.
Harry traverses into the sewers, and it doesn't take him very long to
find the way out. He ends up in an area not far from the lake, and it's
dark out, but not evil. In a nearby pool hall, he sees Kaufmann from the
hospital, being attacked by some weird monster. Harry kills it, and
after Kaufmann takes his leave, Harry finds some items of his. Harry
finds a motel key which he uses on the motel nearby. After uncovering a
set of motorcycle keys, Harry uses them on a motorcycle he finds and
then uncovers the same red liquid he found at the hospital. Kaufmann
makes a return, and angrily snatches the liquid from Harry! After an
angry fit, Kaufmann leaves with a warning to Harry, to "keep his eye on
business." Harry, seeming like he wasted his time, proceeds toward the
lighthouse on the lake. As he proceeds, the town becomes evil once
again.
On his way there, he sees Cybil in a boat, and Harry tells of some demon
taking over the town. Dahlia makes an appearance, telling Harry to go to the
lighthouse and the amusement park. Cybil runs to the amusement park while
Harry runs for the lighthouse. Dahlia walks off telling him to use the
Flauros. Harry reaches the lighthouse to see Alessa. Before he can pull
anything out of her, she vanishes like at the school. Harry returns to the
boat and follows Cybil to the amusement park. As he travels, Cybil's back is
attacked by something...
Harry reaches the park via another set of sewers. After a fruitless
search, he sees Cybil... possessed. (Fork in plot road). Harry kills or saves
Cybil with the red liquid. After Cybil makes a recovery, Harry tells her that
Cheryl was adopted. Alessa confront Harry, and the Flauros attacks Alessa.
Dahlia comes in, captures Alessa and Harry realizes who the real enemy is, but
before he can attack Dahlia, he is transported back to the hospital with
Lisa...
Lisa runs off because she checked the basement out. Harry follows but he
realizes that he's in some weird form of the hospital... "nowhere", he calls
it. After another fruitless search, he finds Lisa again, except she starts
oozing blood all over... she's a demon, like the nurses and Cybil, and since
he has to more red liquid, he can't save her...
Harry finds the basement of the entire place. Cybil's unconscious thanks to
Dahlia. Harry confronts Dahlia and learns of what happened to Alessa. Seven
years ago she was set on fire and burned nearly to death, then kept alive, and
mainly she dreamed all that time (important). Cheryl is also now here with
Dahlia (important; read above). Then Kaufmann arrives and tosses the red
liquid at Alessa (the Cheryl and Alessa combined one). A demon comes out of
their form, Harry kills it, and Alessa comes in and gives Harry a new baby.
Cybil and Kaufmann run off to follow Harry, but Lisa drags Kaufmann down into
the fires below.
Harry and Cybil make their escape, checking out the new baby they have...

Silent Hill 2
James Sunderland's wife died 3 years ago from a disease (most likely
cancer). After thinking about her for all that time, and moping around,
he receives a letter. The writer's name is... Mary. He gets in his car and
drives to Silent Hill, where they used to spend a lot of time. Mary had told
him that she wanted to come back to that town; that it felt special and
sacred, but she died before he could take her again. The letter said to come
for her; she was waiting in their "Special Place."
First James shoots for the Rosewater Park, which is where they went often. He
can't enter town because of car trouble, so he walks into town on foot. After
stopping and thinking about his last few years with Mary, he heads off. He
sees a frantic woman named Angela in a graveyard (possibly the one in the
beginning cinematic of Silent Hill 1), and she points him toward town.
He finally enters town. Upon entering, it's extremely empty, but he sees
several blood trails. He suddenly finds a monsters and a radio, as well a
wooden plank for his defense. He kills the creature and moves on. After a few
ominous clues in the empty town, he goes through an apartment complex first,
coming in contact with 2 people, Eddie Dombrowski, somewhat of an overweight
resident who's currently vomiting in an apartment toilet. James also meets
Laura, a child who is apparently somewhat of a brat, and a resident of Silent
Hill. He eventually escapes the apartments, shortly after a meeting
with "Pyramid Head," a menacing existence who seems to be somewhat of a
guardian at Silent Hill.
Once in Rosewater Park, James is startled to come across.. his wife
Mary! Or so he thinks until the woman he has met turns, and explains
that she is named Maria. She asks if "She looks like his girlfriend." He
tells her shortly of his quest for Mary, and she asks if she "Looks
like a ghost." (important). Finally James decides to take Maria with him for
safekeeping, and he ventures off again for the Hotel, his only other "special
place" with his wife.
He and Maria make their way to a bowling alley, where Maria stays outside and
James goes in to find Eddie, and Laura running out the back. He leaves Eddie
eating a pizza, and goes in chase of Laura. Maria joins him outside, saying
she chased but failed to catch the child. They follow her path down an alley,
to a locked door. Laura has squeezed through a tiny passage, whereas Maria
and James journey through a gentleman's club, "Heaven's Night," where Maria
was earlier. They then see Laura run into the resident hospital, Brookhaven.
After searching for awhile in the hospital, Maria grows nauseous and
sits down. James leaves her taking her pills, and goes off on his own.
He makes his way to the roof, where he is attacked by Pyramid Head. The huge
sword luckily hits James with the flat side, and knocks him off the roof,
through the ceiling into a containment area. James goes off for Maria again.
Instead he finds Laura in a room, playing with her tEddie-bears. She leads
him to another room, claiming there's a letter from Mary in "the way back."
(Had to see this one coming a mile away). James, being eager, goes into the
room, where Laura promptly locks him in, and runs off. James is knocked out by
some of the less friendly residents, and then is wheeled away to safety by
what sounds to be either Mary or Maria.
He awakes in a courtyard. The hospital is now a much less habitable
place. He finally finds Maria in the basement, but is disappointed that
it's not Mary. Maria has had enough, and explodes. "All you care about
is that dead wife of yours," she screams at him. "I've never been so
scared in my whole life." James shrugs it off, and they keep going.
After some time, they reach the true basement. It is a long snaking
passageway, and when they are part of the way down it, James turns to
approaching footsteps... Pyramid Head has found him. Now armed with a
short spear like weapon, Pyramid Head goes for Maria. After laying down
some heavy fire on the entity, they both run. Upon reaching the elevator,
with Pyramid Head in close pursuit, James gets in and the doors jam, leaving
only a crack, for Maria's hand, and the gruesome
visage of Maria being mauled by the creature. The hand goes limp. The
doors close, and James sinks to the floor.
Having failed Maria, James vows to find Mary. He sees Laura once again and
takes off for a museum at the edge of the vicinity. To get there, he circles
back across town on a wrench hunt, which lets him find the key, unlocking the
museum entrance. Upon reaching the museum, he finds that it used to be a
prison in the Civil War, and that atrocities occurred there. Eddie is there as
well... and there are dead people all over his area. Eddie takes off after
some crude jokes.
James goes down a broken wall and into the ancient prison. From there, he
makes his way even deeper into caves under the prison. He finds Angela in a
room, about to be attacked by a demon. James destroys the demon, and Angela
screams at it to leave her alone, below). He finds Maria, alive, and unhurt.
After a strange personality change, she speaks to him as Mary would. She is in
a jail cell unfortunately, and he leaves to find another route to Maria. Upon
getting there, her body is beaten beyond recognition, and she is but a corpse.
Again he is mollified, and leaves. Finally he emerges in a meat locker, where
Eddie
confronts James.
Eddie has decided that James hates him, and has called him fat. Up to
now James had only suspected, but now he knows that the bodies around
Silent Hill with bullets in the brain are the work of Eddie. After a
short battle with James as the victorious, James wonders again what is
happening in this town, and leaves the meat locker, and Eddie's corpse.
He finds a rickety boat and rows across the foggy lake to the only
landmark he can see, the lighthouse. It turns out to be a single light
on the dock of his Hotel.
Upon journeying through the Hotel, James again comes in contact with
Laura, who sweetens up and gives him a letter from his wife, that she
gave to Laura. It is a birthday letter stating that she wished Laura a
happy birthday. It is dated not one week ago. James is in uproar.
What could this mean? Laura leaves, and again he goes in search of
Mary. Finally he comes to the room they used to stay in, and he uses
the VCR to play the tape he has of them together which he found in
storage safe earlier. It shows Mary, happy as usual, and then it cuts
to a chaotic shot of James, smothering his wife with a pillow.
James is once again amazed. How could this be? Laura enters the room and
discovers the truth, and in anger, runs off. James leaves, seeking answers.
The hotel is now not as clean a place, and in the basement he finds Angela.
She is still speaking of her father, and walks into a burning room at the top
of a flaming staircase, and eventually gets engulfed herself. Finally James
finds a room with Maria in it, strapped to a rack. Two Pyramid Heads are
there, and once again, Maria is killed. James defeats the Pyramid Heads and
leaves. At the top of a caged area, he finds Maria, dressed as Mary (/Mary
dressed as Mary). She is angry (see above) and turns into a demon, which
James destroys. Then the ending CG starts, and explains how James turns out
