Humans
Heather Mason
Heather Mason / Sharon Da Silva
- Played by Adelaide Clemens
The 18-year-old daughter of Harry Mason. They have been on the run for the last six years from forces she doesn't understand, and haunted by nightmares. After her first day at her new high school, her father is missing and a mysterious message is left in their home: "Come to Silent Hill". She then goes to Silent Hill with Vincent Cooper to find her father. She is really Sharon Da Silva, who was the living manifestation of Alessa Gillespie's remaining innocence.

- Adaptational Wimp: A complaint leveled early on against the portrayal of Heather in this film compared to the Silent Hill 3 game.
- Apocalypse Maiden: The Order of Valtiel intend to use Heather's body as an incubator for their unborn god. Turns out Claudia's side of the Order wanted Christabella's side to do this by burning Alessa alive. It did not work out so well.
- Daddy's Girl: To the point of willingly going to Silent Hill to save him, even knowing he wouldn't want her to, because that's what you do when you love someone.
- Dressed in Layers: The article about her in the Silent Hill wiki reveals that she's dressed in about seven layers of clothes.
- Dye or Die: Heather’s hair is dyed blonde but her brown roots are showing through. Harry comments on this and asks her to cover it up.
- Fusion Dance: Fuses with Alessa to make them both complete.

- Plucky Girl: Willing to go face the horrors of Silent Hill in order to rescue her father.
- Seen It All: When a couple of girls mock her for her fashion sense, she goes on a tirade about how many times she's gone through this shit and that this doesn't phase her anymore.

Harry Mason
Harry Mason / Christopher Da Silva
- Played by Sean Bean
Heather's loving and protective father. He is kidnapped and taken to Silent Hill by the Order of Valtiel. He changed his and his daughter's name six years ago.
- Chained to a Rock: Chained to a statue of Valtiel to be sacrificed to the Order's god.
- Disappeared Dad: Subverted. He was actually kidnapped by the Order.
- Distressed Dude: The Order kidnaps him to bring Heather back to Silent Hill.
- I Choose to Stay: Harry decides to remain in Silent Hill to track down Rose.

- These Hands Have Killed: Revealed to have murdered an Order member when he attacked Heather, forcing the two to go on the run.
- Took a Level in Kindness: He cares much more for Sharon now than he did in the first movie.
Vincent Cooper
Vincent Cooper
- "I don't think you should go to Silent Hill."Played by Kit Harington
A fellow high-schooler that goes with Heather on her journey to Silent Hill. He may know more than he's letting on about her father's kidnapping.
- Abusive Parents: Claudia raised him for the purpose of bringing them Alessa, then when he falters because Heather isn't evil like he was told, she declares him insane and sends him to be "cured".
- Adaptational Attractiveness: In the game, Vincent was intentionally designed to be "not sexy." Here, well...
- Adaptational Heroism: The games Vincent was a self-interested jerk while this one grows to genuinely like Heather and was only with the Order because he was born into it. He becomes a more genuine Lancer in the film, in comparison to the Nominal Hero he was in the game and the Teeth-Clenched Teamwork between him and Heather.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Going along with the Adaptational Heroism above, he dropped most of his Smug Snake and petty Jerkass traits.
- Age Lift: In the original game, Vincent Smith was in his mid-twenties. Vincent Cooper is Heather's age.
- Becoming the Mask: He was sent to "befriend" Heather to make sure she follows the Order's plan, but he soon genuinely develops feelings for her.
- Conflicting Loyalty: His mother and the teachings of the cult in which he was raised, versus his conscience and the girl he's starting to fall for. He chooses the latter.
- Distressed Dude: Vincent is sent to the Brookhaven Asylum by Claudia and has to get rescued by Heather.
- Dogged Nice Guy: He's quite persistent about wanting to get to know Heather, despite her insistence that she's not looking to make friends. It's because he's The Mole.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: He has a likeness of the Halo of the Sun carved into his torso.
- In Name Only: The only similarity he shares with the original Vincent from Silent Hill 3 is that they have the same first name.
- The Mole: Was a plant put in Heather's school by the order to reel her in, but has a Heel–Face Turn.
- Overlord Jr.: The son of Claudia, who was raised to venture out and retrieve Heather for her destiny. He did not like this idea and became Heather's ally.
- Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: His American accent is far from perfect.
- Related in the Adaptation: He's Claudia's son while in the games, they were not only unrelated but pretty close in age.
- Ship Tease: Between him and Heather.
- Strapped to an Operating Table: Vincent is sent to Brookhaven Asylum to be ripped apart by the undead nurses by Claudia after she claims he is crazy.
- Tall, Dark, and Handsome: He jokingly references it by name when trying to talk to Heather, but she points out that he isn't that tall.
- Troubled, but Cute: Vincent is a teenage Mr. Fanservice who wears a leather jacket, talks back to the teacher, and is hinted to have a difficult family. Though this trope only really comes into play when it's revealed he's Claudia's son and originally befriended Heather to get her back to Silent Hill but became conflicted about his mission.
- Waistcoat of Style: He wears one for much of the movie.
- White Sheep: Despite being Claudia's son and Leonard's grandson, he has a crisis of conscience upon realizing Heather is innocent and not evil incarnate as he was told, and confesses to her rather than continue to lead her into their trap. Compare the rest of his family's almost gleeful willingness to sacrifice her anyway.
Douglas Cartland
Douglas Cartland
- Played by Martin Donovan
A middle-aged detective hired by Claudia Wolf to track Heather down. He gets dragged with her into the Otherworld.
- Death from Above: Yanked up through a grate by the Missionary.

- Heel–Face Turn: Has one after learning who he is working for.
- Killed Off for Real: Killed by the Missionary.

- Affably Evil: Until he completes the Seal of Metatron and transforms into a monster.

- Humanoid Abomination: After putting the seal of Metatron into his chest he quickly becomes something...inhuman.

She is also the Missionary who appears throughout the film.
- Abusive Parents: Raised Vincent to find Heather and bring her back to the town.
- Adaptational Villainy: Claudia possesses none of her Anti-Villain qualities and is portrayed as another sociopathic fanatic who goes as far as to torture her own family members.
- Big Bad: The main villain of the film who also captures Harry Mason to force Heather back to Silent Hill.
- Expy: Her Missionary form is based heavily on three different monster designs from the Hellraiser franchise. Her black leather clothes and the way her skin has been peeled back to expose the flesh underneath is heavily reminiscent of the Angelique Cenobite from Hellraiser: Bloodline. Furthermore, the way the blades are lodged into her skull is an idea taken directly from Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth's CD-throwing Cenobite. And finally, the way her lipless mouth exposes all of her teeth is identical to the mouths of Hellraiser's Chatterer and Torso Cenobites.
- Humanoid Abomination: She's actually the Missionary.
- Off with His Head!: Pyarmid Head ends their fight by decapitating her.
- Red Right Hand: Lacks eyebrows.
- Voluntary Shapeshifter: Really the Missionary, and the Seal of Metatron under Alessa's influence reveals this to her followers.

Heather is the reincarnation of her innocence, who she sent off to safety and turned her darkness into Dark Alessa. However, upon Heather's return, Dark Alessa materializes as the Memory of Alessa to absorb her good self, only for Heather to instead absorb her and they become one.

- Chained to a Rock: Shown to be the operator for the amusement park's carousel, but is chained to it, implying the Order may have somehow subjugated his power until Heather summons him to help her.
- Composite Character: While Valtiel is named-dropped a couple times and appears in effigy, Pyramid Head mostly takes over his role from the games as the figure that follows and watches over Heather.
