Product Description
A team of local TV reporters are following a squad of firemen on night duty. The footage is completely live and their task is to make show about on the life of these professionals who work while we are sleeping. The first job of the night is to rescue an old lady who is trapped inside her apartment but the routine rescue soon takes a sinister turn. Something evil is spreading throughout the building, out of control. Trapped inside, the firemen and the TV crew have to confront an unknown and lethal horror. Now, the only thing that matters is hiding, surviving and trying desperately to escape. They must keep on recording. No matter what happens. Until the very last moment.

I've seen Rec around several times so I finally took the plunge a bought it on the strength of the comments on the cover.
Not a bad short story actually. Not fantastic either but I'm happy enough for it to have a place in my collection. Basically, it's another amateur filming style chiller ala Cloverfield, Paranormal Activity, Blairwitch only this time, it's two person documentary team trying to follow firemen on a typical night. Of course, it goes a bit wrong and zombies get involved. It happens all the time...
It is quite scary in places but I didn't find it had the same full-on effect that Paranormal Activity had on me. Again, watching this in a darkened room too. It doesn't quite live up to the 'The scariest film ever' claim from the ever fantastic, News of the World, in my book.
On the Blu-Ray front, picture quality is good but the real strength comes from the use of HD audio, it's fantastic. Very immersive.
Subs: English
Languages: Spanish DTS-HD Master 5.1

The film really different to a usual American Horror. First of all it isn't American, its Spanish, however, don't let this put you off. It does have English subtitles. I don't speak a word of Spanish and it is still one of my favorite horror movies of all time. At this low price and on Blu-ray it is a steal and a great film to add to your horror collection!
Great Spanish horror and the great sound on the blu ray is worth the extra.If they do a blu ray boxset of all three then get it.

Didn't do it for me
I usually stay away from subtitled films, but given this was a horror, scored highly and was part of the three blu-rays for £17, I gave it a go. Read more

Good but not a bit scary
I got this after seeing the advert for Rec3 recently on the TV, I'd never heard of the series before that but love the genre, so got it straight away. Read more

Breathes new life into the genre
This film is excellent and really does breathe new life into the tired and exploited zombie genre. Don't waste your money on Quarantine, the American remake, as this is the real... Read more

Stunning. Feels more real than the remake 'Quarantine'.
I saw American remake Quarantine and it's sequel first, but was swayed to see this because a friend was so enthusiastic about it. Read more

Watch with the lights off...
I'm not a huge fan of the "found-footage" sub-genre of horror. After The Blair Witch project it appears everyone was trying to get in on the action. Read more
