[[WMG: A film-verse version of Silent Hill 2 was happening concurrently with Rose's adventures.]]
While she never ran into them, James/Angela/Eddie/etc were also in town having their own adventures at the same time as Rose was looking for Sharon. That explains Red Pyramid Thing's presence and the appearance of the nurses - they were there for James (or the nurses were pulling double duty) and when Rose happened to run into RPT he was just on his way to find James and she happened to cross paths.
As for how James's story was different from the game to fit into the film verse, maybe his or Mary's parents lived in town (remember in the film not everyone was involved with the cult) and they held their wedding there, or since Toluca Lake is mentioned in the movie maybe there was still a tourist area of the town as well as the mining operation and they had their honeymoon there with little changes from the game.

By the point when the movie is set, the circumstances could then fall into the [[EvilVersusEvil Black and Black Morality]] of a supernaturally powerful malignant narcissist fighting a child-sacrificing cult. Even if she was dangerous as a child that doesn't justify the cult's actions, of course, but how much of that actually happened and how much Alessa made up to keep Rose from falling into DarknessInducedAudienceApathy is hard to know.

[[WMG:Silent Hill is, consciously or otherwise, a metaphor for its own development cycle]]
(This is not my WMG, but a Chinese games analyst noticed the recurring motif of "abandoned/abused/murdered child" in the SH games and started wondering if there was anything metatextual about it.)
Like Alessa/Travis/Walter/Alex, Team Silent is composed of developers, artists, programmers, and etc. "orphaned" from other projects who have a love/hate relationship with Konami (and who, like most other Japanese companies, likely literally saw itself as the parent that--pre-bubble, anyway--would take care of an employee for life in exchange for loyalty to the point of sacrificing oneself's time, name, and even life if necessary); like Harry/James/Heather/Alex/Murphy, Team Silent have had to watch their "baby" (whatever artistic vision/ambition they had for the series) sacrificed to the altar of the SH brand and fan/corporate expectations, and sometimes they themselves had to be the one to put languishing dreams out of their misery. In PT, the child doesn't even get to be born, but is only a bloody fetus in a brown paper bag! Clearly somebody saw the writing on the wall and was sending out one last cry for vengeance.
This puts even the GoldenEnding of each game in a darker light--yes, the abandoned child is reborn and given new life, but only to relive the same tragedy over and over again (since all that accomplishes is to make NewGamePlus possible and what kind of monster replays SH after reaching the GoldenEnding, YouBastard?).

If she is the God of Silent Hill, then what's stopping her from not actually being some higher being and she is simply taking dog form so that she is not suspicious.

* Adding on to that, The "God" we see summoned by The Order is due to the Order's belief, it coalesces Silent Hill's power into a tangible form, which is the main problem for it, being that the form comes from, ultimately, very ''human'' beliefs, due to [[YourMindMakesItReal how Silent Hill's power works]], the form is flawed, the only reason the Aglaophotis works is because the Order ''Believes'' it works, if they belived it didn't work their God would be birthed and completely invincible.

[[WMG:There is a [[{{VideoGame/DeadSpace}} Marker]] buried beneath Silent Hill (Spoilers for Dead Space)]]
Specifically, the original Marker, from which the Red Marker was developed. The town has a cemetery and a cult, people there experience hallucinations and encounter odd but familiar monsters, and James' story in particular seems very similar to that of Isaac. In addition, in the first Dead Space game, we learn that the first marker is of alien origin and was discovered on Earth, but it is never specified where specifically it was discovered, and every Silent Hill game has an ending that involves Aliens, so one can conclude that the Silent Hill aliens buried the marker under the land where the town was later built, and the marker itself was discovered by humanity centuries later.
