Obviously there's some misconceptions about the games here.
1.) Nothing in any of the games are real except for most of the main characters. Some, like the wife from SH2 for example are not real and are from god trying to trick him. All of the monsters are conceptualized versions of child hood fears. NOTHING in ANY of the games is real.
2.) The air-raid sirens probably have something either something to do with the fire that broke out in the town or are just there for a cool sound effects (though I doubt it since everything in SH is made as a symbol for something).
GR/ That 'weird' is the god communicating to you, trying to scare you out of Silent Hill because in reality you're still in a car unconscious after crashing it outside of Silent Hill. If you dont stop the god from being born, you'll never wake up. If you stop it, you wake up and find a baby, who you raise (and play as in SH3 - she still has the unborn god inside her). That 'weird woman' you find is the religious leader of this god who lives in the limbo world of Silent Hill (made by the god). The female officer you find and the nurse who tries to help you are both brought forth from the little girl who has the god inside her because she wants to help you.
There was a huge fire in the town, it was started by that little girl and she survived but just barely. She's been in a hospital all her life and she cannot die until she gives birth to god. So think of it this way.
In America there is a town where, during the Civil war was a concentration camp and peopl were mutilated and tortured severely. That 'mass of death' left a scar on the physical place. When the weird woman started to try and bring this god back in to the world, it created a safe-haven for itself inside the essense of Silent Hill (that negative energy). In the energy, there are memories of the people who once lived there who endured those tortures and horrible acts, so when the god feels threatened it uses these things against who ever is attacking it.
The only way you are able to figure any of it out and get through Silent Hill is because when the god takes a host, that host then becomes a living god. Whatever thoughts you have can become manifest. So suddenly you're being attacked by nurses because the little girl the god is inside of hates nurses and is afraid of them. But the little girl can use memories of anyone else it wants to help people, give clues, give you a path way or even send you people to help. The god then tries to destroy these things, but if you can make use of the clues gven to you, you can survive Silent Hill.
If the movie is going to emulate the games, then those miners are figments of the imagination from the characters (main character, god, etc). I've beaten SH1, watched Ryan beat SH2 and played through most of SH3 and then read the story of SH4 so please believe me I know what i'm talking about.
All of the monsters in every SH game has a purpose; They mean something deeper. They're not there just for looks. So Undertow, when you say "I bet they're not human" it's kinda "No shit" because NOTHING is real in Silent Hill.
Unless, of course, the film decides to change the context. Which will piss off many fans.
