Tom Hardy playing two characters - amazing! The movie is set in the East End of London. We find out, that one of the main characters is gay - good for him.
It's really beautiful that it's narrated by Francis who, even after she dies half way through, continues narrating the film.

I've just seen this move and I'm stun. When the movie was over my friend and I just kept sitting there, staring at the screen and not saying a word.
I didn't know much about the movie, except for that I've seen Los Sin Nombre before and found it quite scary, so I decided to watch it without looking at the back cover of the DVD. What I've seen, has surprised and terrified me. I won't tell much but that the movie made the girls I was watching with scream and wine and the guys cramp into the couch.
After the movie we needed to watch an episode of SpongeBob to cool down.
The only reason I'm not giving Rec a 10 is that I've watched it in German and the dubbing was annoying somehow. I have no Idea what the movie is like in Spanish, but the acting looked far better than the dubbing sounded.

Silent Hill is a fantasy horror movie, with emphasis on both words. If you like horror movies, you'll love this one. If you liked Hellraiser, you're probably gonna enjoy it even more.
The comparison to Hellraiser shouldn't imply that Silent Hill is some kind of remake, but there are a lot of similarities regarding locations and characters. Nevertheless, Silent Hill is a genuine and uniquely cruel horror movie. The story telling makes some unexpected changes in style along the plot which is quite refreshing. The dark passages soak you into the screen and keep you staring. Also, the movie makers had a sense for details, even humorous ones (and I've never played the game).
I really had a lot of fun watching this one.
PS: OK, the comparison to Hellraiser does not hold because Silent Hill is not as suited for a sequel as Hellraiser.
