From the plot it seems that the movie will have no realtionship with the events seen in Silent Hill 2.

By the way, that game was all about the mental illness suffered by it's protagonist, James, after spending 4 years torturing himself for having killed his terminally ill wife. His actions, or rather your own, ultimately decide if he comes to terms with what he has done or if he kills himself because of the remorse. James is more or less like a perverted Homerus, as he ventures to and from Silent Hill in search if his wife.

The game is deep, touching, evocative, shocking and completely different from any videogame out there. It also has one of the most frightening and disturbing soundscapes ever heard, thanks to Akira Yamaoka's talent. It is one of the very games I'd call a work of art. Unfortunately, the sequels simply don't match up to it's provocative genious.
