Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Rec starts with a good, solid, straightforward idea. Its plan? To focus us on TV reporters, who are following a group of firemen as they go about their shift. Said shift, however, doesn't quite go to plan, as what starts as a seemingly standard rescue mission soon takes a disturbing, chilling turn, and this sets the scene for a very effective horror film.

One of the reasons why Rec works so well is the manner in which it's shot. It's not the first film to adopt the handheld shooting style, and indeed there have been many clichéd attempts to follow the success of The Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield. Yet the style suits Rec well, with the photography less a gimmick, and more a legitimate storytelling device.

It's fair to say that Rec is a dish best served cold, so it'd be unfair to expand on the plot. However, be in no doubt that the mix of psychological creepiness and outright horror is very good, making the most of the claustrophobic surroundings, and wisely sidestepping many of the pitfalls of the genre. It has one or two problems, but it's hard to quibble too much when the main feature works as well as this low-key, yet ultra-effective film does. --Jon Foster




Rating: - great
I heard about this after the American version was made this year so i bought it knowing it was in subtitles/spanish film. I was very impressed for many reasons especially the tense atmosphere and great camera work. The ending is brilliant and i would definately recommend it to all horror fans. Not far off a 5 star at all.

Rating: - Sometimes good, sometimes not so good
Having bought this as a 'Word by Mouth' recommendation having not heard of it until it was released onto DVD, I have to say my expectation was high. Although, it certainly has its moments which you can classify as well made horror it has two major failings. Firstly the lead girl is awful, absolutely awful. But secondly, and most importantly, the scares are, on the whole, amateurishly done and, hence, not very effective.

There are certainly moments that stand out in REC. The ending is ... Read More

Rating: - Jumped out of my skin
Dont be put off by the fact that this film is in spanish - i didnt even realise when i decided to watch it. The subs go fairly slow so its easy to keep up. It can also make it scarier at points because your so focused on reading the subtitles that when something jumps up you really didnt know it was coming.
This film has gore and suspence and will scare you no matter what your horror type.
It has the clastrophobic element, the gore and the "that could really happen element" possessed ... Read More
