The story centers on James (Jeremy Irvine), a tortured artist lured back to Silent Hill after receiving a mysterious letter from his lost love (Hannah Emily Anderson). Mary (though that’s just one of her names) appears in a variety of guises — sick woman, jaunty girlfriend, sex kitten adventuress, victimized daughter of a cult leader — that tell us we’re stuck deep in James’s guilt-ridden psyche. James’s therapist (Nicola Alexis) occasionally makes an appearance, but even her reality checks don’t seem all that certain.
