Review of REC

REC (2007)
3/10
Made it to the end through sheer will-power!
1 November 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Sorry to say but this movie represented a disappointing, annoying and a plain old unpleasant experience. It is plagued with obvious inconsistencies and highly predictable twists. The characters talk (yell) too much and argue senselessly throughout the course of the movie. The immersive effect of seeing through of the eyes of the cameraman is annihilated by the desire to escape this environment where everybody is yelling at each other constantly. All I was wishing for the duration of this movie was for characters to die faster so I would have to deal with so many dB. The only scene that was remotely interesting was the one at the end where you get the impression there is more to this than just stupid people making a racket. My advise is if you saw some of the good horror movies of the last decades and appreciated their *not so cheap trills* approach to horror than don't waste your time with this movie.If you just want to see a story about chaos done in a chaotic way than this movie will satisfy.
