I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy.

SYNOPSIS : The film revolves around television reporter, Ángela Vidal, and her cameraman, Pablo, who are covering a the night shift of the fire station for a fictional documentary series. Everything seems normal and actually a LITTLE boring, until they get an emergency call from a apartment building about a woman who is trapped in her room. It is there that the film starts to turn into something that you would never expect.

REVIEW : I will not go into detail about what happens in the film because I WANT YOU TO WATCH IT.

The movie is filmed from the perspective of the cameraman, Pablo, who is holding the camera (sadly, they never show his face). If you are thinking, WAIT A MINUTE, I have seen something like these before in Quarantine and Cloverfield, you are not wrong, at least not completely. This movie is not like Cloverfield because it is film by a cameraman, who has a steady hand, not the motion sickness ride that you get in Cloverfield. And if you say, what about Quarantine, that sounds a lot like it, well, the US version its actually a remake of [REC].

Well, anyways, we are talking about how awesome is [REC].

The film is sorta like a ZOMBIE movie, but not quite because the people are actually infected with a POSESSION that became contagious from a scientific error. Everything seems to start from an old lady, Mrs. Izquierdo, who infects a cop that was at the scene and someone else, who I am not going to tell you. When they find out of what is going on, they try to get out of the building, but unfortunately, the outside authorities have place them under "quarantine" until a health inspector can assist them with the 'problem'. One by one, everyone starts to get infected and the survivors have to fight them in order to find a way out ALIVE.

You will not believe the ending, unless you saw QUARANTINE.

If you like non-stop thrill, you will like [REC].

So, do not be scared of subtitles, if you are, once you are inside the movie, you will not stop watching.

If you will that you are not convince, yet, take in account that the film is only 75 minutes long. Think of it like watching three episodes of a show, without the commercials.

PROBLEMS: The only problems that I have with this film is the way that people get infected sometimes. There is a part in the movie, when the person gets infected too soon after being attacked whereas some other one, it takes a really long time. I know that they explain that the period of infection has to do with the blood type of the person, but still, I do not buy it.

Another problem is that Angela get a little annoying sometimes with all the screaming.

WARNING: This film does not have any score whatsoever, so you will not hear any background music throughout the movie.

So, you will hear every scream, which is AMAZING, but a little annoying sometimes.
