They did wind up making a rails shooter SH game. It was called "Silent Hill: The Arcade" and was...an arcade-only release. It wasn't actually too bad, it was a pretty by-the-numbers rail shooter where some of the more iconic monsters from the series pop up. It had its own story (which wasn't anything to write home about, but it was there) with a unique cast of characters. You can find footage on youtube and if you use some google-fu you can find a port somebody made of it where it runs on Windows.
Thank the gods it wasn't
