REC (2007)
7/10
shaky camera zombie movie
7 June 2014
This is the original that "Quarantine" was based on and this, like that one, was pretty entertaining. I think, even if you hate it, there has to be at least one scene in either one them that will cause you to sit up in your seat. They can really hold the tension. If you haven't seen this or Quarantine, It revolves around a girl making a low budget documentary about this fire department in Barcelona. They get called out to an apartment where there is a disturbance. She goes with them still filming the whole thing. Her partner is actually filming it and since he's filming it, I think you only see him a few times in the whole movie. It mostly focuses on the girl. While the firemen and she are in the apartment building, it gets quarantined and none of them can leave. A few try to leave during the movie and get shot down. It's a typical, who is the real enemy, the zombies or the government. By the way, I should've said right off, it's a shaky camera zombie movie. It's really gruesome in some seems too. The ending, to try not to give anything away is kind of chilling. The acting is pretty decent. This review is really for both the Spanish and American version, since they are both almost identical. It's just a good old fashioned zombie movie, with the shaky camera gimmick, which is so popular these days, thrown in to make it more appealing, but I think the movie industry over does a good thing a lot.
