Silent hill doesnt concentrate on monster killing, infact you pretty much only have to kill the bosses. You can run away or avoid everythign else.
And its not just because it has a good story that I see it as an adventure, theres also the exploring, puzzles and the inventory.

It is actually easier to kill things than to run away.. And there are many monsters, which becomes rather annoing for a slow adventure experience.
Most of "survival horror" games have inventory and puzzles (even awful ones, such as Eye of Isis). In SH most of the puzzles are of "a door locked with a tricky puzzle" variety, and they are poorly integrated imo. There's hardly anything innovative or "deep", apart from interesting story. I think Silent Hill is rather overrated, all this "close to adventure genre" statements..
