I'm glad to hear someone else take note to it, one of the best parts involving this idea was when Rose first meets Alessa's mother at the severed end of Silent Hill. She's this creepy woman who looks like a medievil witch who is mysteriously hanging around this insane abandoned town and Rose's reaction is "Hey, have you seen my daughter?" It's perfect, although those who are not familiar with the games will surely see this as thoughtless writing. Very brave and admirable on Gans and Avary's part, I think.
