Review of [REC] (2007) by Joe A — 19 Oct 2010

One of the best of the post Blair Witch camera POV horror movies. This Spanish fright flick starts out quietly and slowly builds the tension until a truly nerve racking final act. Using the first person camera style to draw you in, the viewer takes the perspective of the camera man for a news team documenting the routine of a local fire dept.

When they get a call that throws them into a living nightmare in an old tenament building, you're along for the ride. The last scene will have you sleeping with the lights on. Remade here in the U.

S. as the forgettable "Quarantine".
