[REC]

“Shot in shaky handheld style, [REC] is a bit like George A. Romero’s Diary of the Dead, but, you know, actually scary.”

Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly · 100

““REC” delivers a steady stream of frights because its camera man never knows quite where to look — and by the time he figures it out, it might be too late.”

Eric Kohn, IndieWire · 91

“Guaranteed to scare the pantalones off you.”

Philip French, The Observer (UK) · 90

“It’s the moral imperative of the found-footage formalism that sets REC apart, transforming Angela’s camera from a visceral instrument of voyeurism into a tragic, last-gasp tool of truth and justice.”

Josh Larsen, LarsenOnFilm · 88

“A brilliantly staged early scare signals that the safety rails are off and, despite an unexpected, last-minute swerve into the supernatural realm, the edge-of-the-seat tension is sustained to the very last second.”

Nigel Floyd, Time Out · 80
