I notice they are advertising it as a movie with absolutely no reference to the game it was based on. Two reasons for this I think. Adding "based on the game" is not needed for anyone that would actually decide to see the movie because of that, because they already can tell based on the title alone. Further, I think it'll draw the non-gamer crowd a lot better if they think it is actually an original horror movie title.
But that won't stop me from cringing when some ignorant person next to me in some game store says "oh hey, they made a game out of that movie, wait, 4 games already?".

"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)
