The movie that inspired last year's Quarantine, so hard to find that i had to wait until after I saw Quarantine to even get my hands on it. I'm glad I waited and didn't see a bootlegged copy of it, because the version I am watching at this moment is doing a great job of sucking me into the film. Very hard to do for a horror movie with subtitles these days, escpecially while watching at home; one to definetly add to my Decade of Horror List! Both theories are in my head while watching this film; what do i think of it as a movie by itself? and How do I compare this to it's American English speaking remake? So far it's on the good side of the fence on both subjects. The amount of time was just about perfect leading up to the infamous call for the apartment with a woman stuck inside in distres...Read more

Take what Cloverfield took from The Blair Witch Project, add a dash of 28 Days Later, and then sprinkle on some sub-titles (at least, in my case),
& there you go. A quality zombie flick of which I rarely get to see without a giant glob of gooey camp splattered all over it.

Desde seu lançamento esperava ansioso para ver '[REC]'. Filme espanhol de terror que aterrorizou várias salas de cinema no mundo inteiro, dirigido por Jaume Balagueró e Paco Plaza. '[REC]' é um ótimo filme de terror, no mesmo estilo do clássico 'A Bruxa de Blair', ou seja, uma situação superverossímil gravada de forma "amadora". A trama desenrola-sa a partir de uma matéria para um programa de TV. Ángela Vidal, repórter, e Pablo, operador de câmera, vão passar a noite em um Corpo de Bombeiros a fim de gravar a rotina de trabalhos deles. Porém o que aparentemente seria uma saída noturna rotineira de resgate logo se transforma em um grande pesadelo. Presos em um edifício, a equipe de filmagens e os bombeiros enfrentam uma situação desconhecida e letal. O longa já no ...Read more

''There's something more to this place. Our cells don't work. Neither does the T.V. or radio. We're isolated.'' "REC" turns on a young TV reporter and her cameraman who cover the night shift at the local fire station... Manuela Velasco: Ángela Vidal ''Good evening, this is Angela Vidal speaking. Tonight, as usual, we will share this time...'' [Rec] is basically the most, original, raw, horror films to come out for an absolute age. A Spanish horror film, replicated in the style of Cloverfield or Open Water, utilizing that home filmed feel. After seeing [Rec] I can say it's nerve shreddingly effective. It felt like this is the horror film I've been begging for, ever since playing god send Games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill have I had a glimpse of what a film vision co...Read more

"Yesterday, we received a call from a vet who had a dog brought in with an unknown disease. The dog went into a coma and a few moments later came to, and was extraordinarily aggressive. He started attacking all of the pets at the clinic. We had to give him several tranquilizers and then put him to sleep. We followed the chip in his ear, which led us to this building." To most horror aficionados, the words "found footage" will bring back memories of 1999's The Blair Witch Project and the insurmountable hype surrounding this low-budget independent picture. Due to the popularity and cult following of Blair Witch, the "found footage" genre was swiftly established. [Rec] is a Spanish addition to the genre. It's a masterful mixture of Blair Witch and Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later... that, simp...Read more
