Writer/directors Jaume Balagueró & Paco Plaza add some much needed terrifying adrenaline to the found footage genre in the first of the [REC] horror film series.
By playing with claustrophobia, hysteria and horrified confusion, [REC] manages to keep you permanently on edge as soon as the story kicks into high gear. Besides an impressive performance from Manuela Velasco, the rest of the cast of characters are a little one dimensional but you'll never notice with your poor little heart beating too fast to really think about it. It's a simple little movie that delivers the goods to the jaded horror movie buffs waiting for something scary to come along again.
