[REC]



The Devil's Backbone, The Orphanage...the Spanish can cook up some terrifying horror movies. Just checked out the 2007 film [REC] (it's the original version of Quarantine, the American re-make). Long story short, a cameraman and newswoman tag along with a group of firefighters to address a fire in an apartment complex. After a top-floor tenant infected with some kind of "hysteria" attacks a police officer and a fireman, the small group of people find themselves sealed off in the small area while more and more people become zombified. The whole film is shot through a hand-held cam, giving you the feeling as if you're in there with them. When people say thrill ride, they are talking about this shit. Haven't been this scared in awhile..I mean checking doors, turning on light freaked. Go peep this..just not in the dark by yourself BOO
