Season 3: Episode 76 - EUROPEAN HORROR: Rec (2007)

Rec (2007)

 

This 2007 Spanish found footage film written and directed by Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza would set the world on fire with their debut film that would spawn three sequels.  The film centers on a news reporter and cameraman covering a fireman’s intervention in a Barcelona apartment building.  The situation escalates as a murderous disease takes roots in the occupants causing them to be animalistic in nature.

 

The film would be remade for the American audience as Quarantine but would not capture the original films flair and audiences. 

 

The film holds a 90% approval rating and is listed on numerous top 100 film lists for the year it released and all time favorite horror films.  It is one film that totally holds you captive from the opening to closing frames.
