GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

beverlychase-27805 Rec is one of the better examples of found footage horror. Taking place in a confined building we are shown the film through the perspective of a television reporter and her cameraman- a clever idea indeed. The direction is very good and the acting is uniformly excellent. There is a possibility of bad acting derailing a good film but it isn't so here. If you are a fan of found footage then REC from Spain is a worthy film. This started a franchise and even had an American remake.

nickboldrini A review from memory - its been a while since I've seen this - but I remember that this film worked well in building, tension and suspense, and left the lingering sense of unease that a good horror film should. The modern, documentary style work well, and the pace is varied enough that sometimes the adrenaline is pumping, but other times you are on the edge of your seat, waiting.

christopher-underwood Finally got around to seeing this and it is really quite a ride. First film for a long time to really make me jump. Starts modestly enough, almost banal, as we follow a local TV crew as they spend time with the local emergency fire service. Point of view all the time so whilst we might not get particularly involved with the participants, it is us in the line of fire, as it were, as the film progresses. First call is to someone apparently trapped in a building so not the flames and excitement anticipated by the film crew and ourselves. However, things happen. basically we are talking zombies but this is a very original take. The film is not over long so we get a tight, taught and terrifying hour and a quarter. Its not the best horror film ever but no fan should be disappointed. Imaginative.

SquigglyCrunch I went into this movie with some expectations. I'd been told that it was quite good, but never really knew what to expect. I'm happy to say that I was very impressed. The plot of Rec is quite basic. There are people going crazy and attacking people from within a building and everyone is forced to stay inside. However, it's impressive because of how small the building is. The movie manages to pull off an 80-minute run time in such a small space, and it works perfectly. While 80 minutes is very short for a movie, Rec is paced extremely well. It feels longer than it actually is, and in the case of this movie, that's a good thing. Every moment is fantastic and tense. You never really know what's about to happen. I think that if it were even longer I would still love it, but it still ended at a good time. It never wore out its welcome, and it refused to risk potentially doing so, which was a good move on the directors' part (just in case). The characters are great. The found-footage style certainly adds to it, as the movie feels less like a movie and more like something that actually happened. It gives it a realistic feel right off the bat, but everyone's acting is still superb on top of that. They feel genuinely scared (or full of whatever emotion they're trying to portray), and considering the situation, they have every right to be. Not only that, but the characters aren't all complete idiots. The main characters have reason to be where they are, as well as hold a camera and record. It never feels like the found-footage style is being forced in. Overall Rec is absolutely amazing. It's extremely intense, extremely well-acted, extremely well-paced, and filled with great characters. Save for a few inconsistencies or issues I noticed here and there, it was perfect. However, these issues are so minuscule that I can see myself possibly giving this movie a 10/10 in the future. In the end I'd highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes horror and/or thrillers or just anyone looking for and amazing, tightly cramped, action- packed, thrill-ride of a movie.
