Spanish Horror Film - Rec
Jan. 3rd, 2010 09:53 pmMy dad felt sick today, so we decided to take it easy with the moving. Instead, we went to Ikea where I was able to pick up a few things for my room.
I did watch the Spanish horror movie, "Rec." I have to say that it was actually pretty cool. It didn't seem too over-the-top, and it still managed to keep a really disturbing feel to it. The tension slowly climbs as the movie progresses, until it all goes to hell in the last final moments. It seemed a little predictable to me, or maybe it's because I'm a little used to horror movies now? The story follows a female reporter named Angela, and her cameraman as they spend a night covering the night shift of firemen. They tag along on one of the routine emergency calls to investigate a building. Soon they're caught up in a frenzy of panic, as the building is sealed off by authorities because of a viral outbreak inside. Anyone infected immediately turns really aggressive and just wants to bite people... *cough zombies cough.* We see everything through the video camera's perspective, and this makes the movie feel incredibly claustrophobic and intense. It's disturbing how the video camera zooms into the really gruesome scenes and doesn't turn away at all. Part of me was thinking.. "Argh, what are you doing? Turn around and RUN!" but I think that's what made the movie fun for me.
