What is Alan Wake really about?

Reasonable said:
TBH it sounds like it's borrowing elements of Twin Peaks, Silent Hill and the movie From the Mouth of Madness (or something like that, a John Carpenter flick about a novelist who goes mad as his horror novels start to become real around him).

The video clips I've seem particularly look to me like a US version of Silent Hill - i.e more thriller than horror.

I would also have add : less gore but more action packed
