Sancy Jeg In this movie a young reporter and a cameraman were investigating the fireman's life. they wanted to go with them to see how they work. they go for help in a dangerous apartment and that's when something terrifying happens. I think this movie was so scary and crazy. I think everyone to go for it. I suggest everyone should watch this movie.

patrickslamin I had high expectations for this, being a huge horror fan and seeing this on many top horror film lists and its rating on this site. Having now patiently sat through the whole thing, I am slightly at a loss as to how it has the rating it has.It has some good features - its unnerving at times, the pacing is excellent and it's a decent zombie runout if you're into that type of thing, but I just didn't find it scary at all. Maybe i've just got used to them, but the whole infection/quarantine/zombie attack thing has already been done a gazillion times and a lot more convincingly than this - its essentially a low budget Shaun of the dead with some questionable acting and without the (intentional) comedy. For one, the plot was utterly unconvincing - full government quarantine within 6 minutes of a box standard fireman call (and 1 minute from when they realised it there was a problem) ? The ridiculous commitment of the cameraman and the female lead to their jobs as everyone around him gets ripped to shreds by zombies? The fact they shut in the place down in the first 10 minutes when everyone could have got out safely there and then? Why, if they knew what was going on, wouldn't they just go in and shoot everything already infected?If it didn't try to be something other than a standard entertainment scare-fest that focuses less on trying to be a 'good' film in its own right then it wouldn't matter - but it doesn't and it isn't even particularly scary.If you're after the kind of film that makes you want to look away and crawl up into the foetal position in fear, then stick to the 'sinister,' 'the conjuring' or 'the ring' types. "The orphanage" is another Spanish horror, and its not only a lot more scary but an infinitely better film in its own right. Intelligent, suspenseful, innovative and really well shot. But, unless you're after a low budget zombie flick with psychotic grandmas and a questionable narrative arc, then its probably worth giving this one a miss.

avidmoviewatcher1221 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!

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.
