Rec (2007)
Found footage and zombies are a match made in hell.
Presentation:
This is a genuinely terrifying premise of a Spanish zombie film through found footage. Well, for those that don’t get scared easily, it’ll still be tense and exciting like a horror game. The zombies have an interesting conception in this franchise and it’s really impressive how it was shot. The film is mostly done in continuous takes, with the staging and choreography in real time in combination with found footage make it all the more realistic. Probably one of my favorite zombie films along with the 28 series.
Conclusion:
This feels like something out of Resident Evil. It’s a risky and bespoke film, a one time deal, lightning in the bottle that can’t be captured again. While other zombie films like Train to Busan are lauded for, this film should get more attention for it’s inventiveness and unique spin on the zombie genre. Surely the most unique zombie film created, as well as being the most fun for those wanting an interactive and immersive horror experience. Don’t bother watching the American remake Quarantine.
