REC

forget the subtitles, in fact i think they added to the, what the hell is happening aspect of the film. shot very well, in reallity TV kind of way, which makes you feel apart of it more/ believable. good non hollywood acting, which was again a different slant. suspence was great and a good few jumps. borrows a little from other movies, then again what doesn't. over all a very good film, would watch it again.

Must see for horror fans
David from Louth, 30 Sep 2008
The shooting style of Rec has been compared to the Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield but the similarities end there. This is a great, compelling horror film. The subtitles let you down a little with the exposition at the end of the film but don't be put off. See it before Hollywood dumbs it down in their version 'Quarantine'

Starts of quite slow than turns into the Blair Witch project in an urban setting. I definatly jumped at one or two of the secenes and watched some of it through my fingers. Glad to see someone is still making films that make youn sleep with the light on afterwards!!!!

Outstanding horror. about to be remade Hollywood style (Quarantine) but Ive my doubts this will be bettered.
the pace and atmosphere is very very good through out the film and rarely drops. strong acting and well directed.

It's in Spanish....so what!
Garry from Meath, 10 Oct 2008
Just because a movie may not be in English doesn't necessarily that is not watchable. This is a very good movie - watch it! The fact that I watched it in the daytime didn't reduce any of its scariness!!

i perhaps should have read the other reviews about this one... i didnt realise that this movie is in spanish and subtitled throughout. however, i thought at times this actually added to the film and the tension and chaos of the film. its not my usual type of film but i did enjoy it. i even jumped in the chair a few times!

Not too shabby
Lisa from Dublin, 24 Aug 2010
I enjoyed the film regardless of subtitles. It's quite like the blair witch but set in suburbia. Everyone has lived in an apartment block at some point so the reality hits you ten fold. Also the way the authorities treat the tenants is very beliveable, which adds to the already growing terror.... i recommend you watch this film guys...

Pros:

quite unsettling at times
moves at a fast pace from the start
a combination of ideas from a variety of horror classics
Cons:
the shaky 'Blair Witch' style of shooting may put some off
a combination of ideas from a variety of horror classics
