Spoiler:
Like Lasereth said, the main characters typically make it out of Silent Hill alive in the games but in the movie, Rose and Sharon/Alessa survive but are left in the alternate world, whereas Christopher is still in the real world. There are two important facts that suggest that they’re still alive:
1) Their bodies weren't found
2) Rose’s movements can affect the real world, such as when she opened the front door in her world, she opened the front door in Christopher’s world too.

This is typical for the Silent Hill games’ “happy” endings, where not everything ends just right. Does that mean they will never enter in the real world? That’s unanswered. There are cases in the games where monsters and people from the foggy/nightmare reality enter our reality (The Walter Sullivan murders in SH4 and the murder of Harry Mason in SH3). But I think that if they want to leave Silent Hill and come back to the “real world”, Alessa would have to die, because then the illusion of the “dream” world would die with her.

The reason why they’re still in the alternate world at the end of the movie is because of Alessa/Sharon. Like Dahlia says, “Only the Dark One opens and closes the door to Silent Hill”. Some people think that Rose ‘sells’ her soul to Dark Alessa in the hospital basement; she chooses to get Sharon back and helps Alessa with her revenge but gives herself over to Alessa’s will in order to do so. Thereby, by aiding the demon, she gives into its power and hence, she gains Sharon back, but unwillingly sacrifices her normal ‘existence’ and is forced to stay in Silent Hill.

The reason why Gucci is unchanged is because Alessa spared him since he saved her from the fire. The people she did want to get back at never died in the fire - they dissappeared instead (Gucci said that many of the bodies weren’t even found). She’s taken them all with her to the alternate world, her own personal limbo, in order to avenge herself on them there.
