[REC]

Rent & Buy
A television reporter and cameraman follow emergency workers into a dark apartment building and are quickly locked inside with something terrifying.
What critics thought
A lean, claustrophobic found-footage horror that most critics found genuinely effective at ratcheting up dread within its apartment-complex setting. The handheld style and relentless pacing drew strong praise, though some felt the film prioritized terror over character depth, leaving its supporting cast thinly drawn.
“A runaway rollercoaster of a fright flick”
Jamie Russell·BBC
“[REC] has it all and is probably one of the best Spanish horror films in recent memory.”
