I just want to know why Silent hill is rated M. If someone could tell me, it would be appreciated. (Please don't spoil anything for me, either).

It could be summed up as "disturbing images and scenarios." Some of it is just verbal description, some is in seeing the aftermath of things in the nightmare sections. The atmosphere and themes are meant for adults, so the M rating is appropriate for those purposes but there isn't really anything terrible for older teenagers.

There isn't much profanity, there's no violent combat (though there is blood in some of the nightmare areas).... The psychological profile questions throughout the game are geared towards adults with references to alcohol and sexual preferences, but there isn't anything over-the-top there.

Blood. Drug Reference. Language. Sexual themes. Violence.

Sexual content, violence(in a way, shattered memories isnt like the originals that much), disturbing images and crap like that... Can also give seizures to people, so watch out...lol
