Good story, Not enough for a whole film

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

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.

I can't say enough good things about this movie. Even when I had watched it in very low streaming quality when it was just getting released 10 years ago, with no subtitles, I somehow was able to sift through the inconveniences and engage myself in the film. I would easily tell any fan of the horror genre to prioritize in seeing this movie, because it is easily one of the scariest movies of all time. It was so inexplicably unfortunate that they decided to remake this movie frame-by- frame. While Quarantine wasn't by any means a bad movie, it was a reminder of a very poor decision done by the guys with the creative rights to the film. It should have been rereleased with subtitles. There are plenty of American people that can watch a subtitled movie, it's just these movie execs that prioritize profits that prevent audiences from watching so many great foreign language films.The movie is relentless in pace; starts the ball rolling within the first 10 minutes. And boy, that ending. If a nationwide release was made for this film, it would have sent people out of the theater trembling.. C'est la vie! Still, go out and watch this flick if you haven't (and don't really bother with any of the sequels, the part 2 kind of removes any mystery or nuance in the first)

Scary. As. Hell.I don't think there was a horror film that scared the ever-living crap out of me until I watched REC. The shaky camera-work, the found footage, the dark tone, the cutting-edge acting . . . Oh. My. Gosh. It seemed like it actually happened. My heart raced at every scare; and it continued to bang-bang-bang against my rib-cage even after it came to its inevitable end.REC overshadows any other horror film I'd ever seen. I don't think you can get anymore terrifying - or authentic - films as this one. And as soon as I finished REC . . . I needed REC 2 so badly!
