ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

lillyzpad14-700-825643 They did not need to constantly shake that camera. We get it it's a found footage film but come on. Also there's a high pitch noise that the camera is making in the background. You can hear it if you have good or sensitive hearing and it's maddening. The movie had a good premise and the acting was good but that shaky camera was ridiculous.

Tracy Myricks The dam thing is in Spanish and I can't find a movie site where it gives me subtitles. Suggestions anyone?

JÄnis Locis Definitely one of the ''realest'' horror movies out there, since it's meant to be a TV crew shooting a show of firemen doing their daily job. The movie looks as if it was filmed with a casual camera, so everything looks real, not to say it lacked in quality, by no means. The shaky camera depicting these events really makes you feel as you are trying to escape for your life yourself.Apart from the movie having a very realistic view, it also has awesome jump scares and manages to keep up the constant tense environment throughout the film, which most horror films fail to do. The screen time is fairly short, but in no way is that a problem with this film, since action being rather quickly it does not have to be dragged out to two hours or even more. We get to the action part 10 minutes in and it keeps on that way until the very end, which is a very unique approach for horror films, since people usually expect the character build up and extensive background info. Can not say i am not one of those people, who love a little bit more information behind the story and characters, but this movie was built perfectly in a way they could afford to skip the usual horror movie cliché nonsense and get straight to the action.People tend to say this film lacks story, but what we need to realize it does not need to have a story simply because of the setup we are given at the very start. They try to reveal a bit at the end, just to stir up the imagination, nothing too much, it is not blatant and something mysterious remains for the sequel. Overall an awesome horror film, with plenty to look out for, despite its short runtime!

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.
