Like THE ORPHANAGE, REC continues Spain’s stranglehold on the European horror market. A TV journalist and her cameraman think they’re just tagging along on a routine mission for their local fire department, but when they arrive at the apartment building, they discover that something far more dangerous is happening. REC was remade for English-speaking audiences as 2008’s QUARANTINE.

Distributor Notes: From Executive Producers who brought you Quarantine, comes the movie that inspired the terror. A beautiful TV reporter (Manuela Velasco, Law of Desire) and her cameraman are doing a routine interview at a local fire station when an emergency call comes in. Accompanying the firefighters to a nearby apartment, the news team begins recording the bloodcurdling screams coming from inside an elderly woman's unit. After authorities seal off the building to contain the threat, the news crew, firefighters and residents are trapped to face a lethal terror inside. With the camera running, nothing may survive but the film itself.

Review 1:
"Shot in shaky handheld style, [REC] is a bit like George A. Romero's DIARY OF THE DEAD, but, you know, actually scary." -- Grade: A-
