Who´s in it?

Paco Plaza, Manuela Velasco, David Vert
What´s the plot?

Journalism should never look like this news story.

‘REC’ follows the path of Angela, a bubbly TV journalist trying to cover the sedentary life of the local fire station, even a phone call to help an elderly woman seems hardly worth covering. But when Angela gets there, the loud screams that ensue make this a story too good to miss.

‘REC’ mixes high suspense with horror adding some truly original ideas, setting the standard for horror movies to follow.

If you enjoyed ‘Cloverfield’, you’ll love ‘REC’.

Great horror

If you like your horror with a bit more than just gore, this is the film for you.

I much preferred it to 'Cloverfield' it was more like '28 days later' and 'dawn of the dead' in a confined space.

Don't be put off by the subtitles, this is a classic.

ONE TO MISS IF YOU LIKE A GOOD FILM

I found the film hard to watch because it feels like a bad B movie i found the plot not at the standered of most top releases & not a horror in the sense of making you jump out of you skin but if you liked cloverfield you will like this film too or if you like films like saw & dawn of the dead give this film amiss

Rec...Not Bad, not Great

I recently watched REC after hearing how scary it allegedly had been, to be unfortunately dissapointed. Basing the film on a similar theme to 28 days later and 28 weeks later; the film used a limited area though for the idea of more suspense and horror. Unfortunately poor effects and and a predictable story showed people when faced with death still caring to still record(predictably) whats happening instead of save their lives.

The film was not a new idea sadly and though the camera action added some suspense this was limited. If your looking for something un-original and with and a cam job this will be great for you unfortunately it lacked the bite of 28 days later which it mimicks.

Teaser Gremlins

Gremlins Classification: 15

The 1984 classic ‘Gremlins’ returns to the big screen. Billy had always wanted a pet but Gizmo is certainly no ordinary pet…
